Kamlayan Da Tabbar

In Punjabi Kamlayan Da Tabbar means a family of mad people!
Kamla: mad
Tabbar: khaandaan/kinship/family
It's a joke in the family.In fact our whole family is called that. The story goes back to my great granny (mother of my paternal grandmother). She died at the ripe age of 96 and was a permanent fixture at our home.
Being born in pre-independence Pakistan and having come to Delhi after living her life in the village she was quite a handful. She was widowed at a nascent age and so she lived her life with her only child: a daughter-my granny.
Watching the customs of Modern Delhi in the eighties/nineties she was shocked: or maybe that would be an understatement- She used to say to us(in colloquial Punjabi of course) "You all are mad. Put a placard out side your house with Kamlayan Da Tabbar printed on it."
I guess we took the curse as a blessing.

Dadynamics Relationship: Father

Hi Everyone,
I am Evann(Mum tells me it means: God is Gracious). I am using my father's blog as I am only a few days' old. I am told though, that kids have their own web page nowadays! I was very comfortable in the last nine months but this world seems funny: For one that I am not the only one here and for the other that everyone who comes to see me bends over to make funny faces and odd noises. For those of you who thrive on statistics, I weigh 3.58kg and am 59cm long. Evann
