My Grand Daughters Day Out


These are the happy days of Mr & Mrs. Gunabalan in pictures:



The weekends are looked forward to with much anticipation in my home as this is the time my son drives over to visit us with his two cherubic angels. Nicole is growing up so fast, that week by week there can be seen changes in her physical as well as mental state. She is learning to conceive her own peculiar traits and characteristic facial expressions.
I have no doubt the loving and caring environment surrounding my grandchildren & her good upbringing is the reason for her happiness and playful character! 
I give thanks for that immensely.





 The angelic smile and playful nature of this girl brings much joy into our lives as my wife and I always look forward to these weekly visits for us to bond together with the girls as grandparents and grandchild. With Nicole’s truly princess baby like personality attributes-  at times full of naiveté with occasional displays of helplessness & sheer honesty in showing her minutest feelings, this baby’s innocence is truly captivating and encompassing to us.


Sometimes it may be clearer to a grandparent what a person is not than what they are through the kids’ physical actions and physiological demeanor. Call it anything you like, love, care/concern, but all grandparents love to attribute adult traits and character to their kids and grand kids  

They love to assume and discuss about, and compare with how their grand kids high cheek bones will produce good future lineages, or whether the big round eyes is from the Indian side of the father’s or whether the childs’ long fingers or short stumpy fingers will enable her to progress well in the future and all sorts of other assumptions based of tradition and experience.

This is an experience and character that transcends race and geographic borders. I've personally seen Japanese grandparents on one side and American grandparents on the other, do the same.

It makes one  realize we humans are all more similar in our hopes and desires than we realise or care to admit.


I've come to realise the joy of living can be seen in the eyes of a child as the wonderment of day to day living is truly encapsulated in their honest approach to those they love and understand.

The look of true happiness in a simple meeting, a piece of colorful paper or even a toy -say, a colorful ball, is truly uplifting when a child approaches it, because, in their wonderment we can see the base thrill of possibilities as their mind enjoys the concept of play and fun much more ecstatically than we adults do without the encumbrances we are used to.

What is a 'HINDU' ?

In 1995, Chief Justice P. B. Gajendragadkarwas quoted in anIndian Supreme Court ruling:

When we think of the Hindu religion, unlike other religions in the world, the Hindu religion does not claim any one prophet; it does not worship any one god; it does not subscribe to any one dogma; it does not believe in any one philosophic concept; it does not follow any one set of religious rites or performances; in fact, it does not appear to satisfy the narrow traditional features of any religion orcreed. It may broadly be described as away of life and nothing more.

Common Misunderstandings on Hinduism

Vedanta (and all Hinduism) is entirely monistic, believing only in the all-pervading world-soul, Brahman, rather than a personal God

This advaita philosophy is certainly popular, and offers a simple explanation of the many deities. Nonetheless, many theologians have considered God to be a person. He is not merely an anthropomorphic representation, nor are the various deities and murtis simply incarnations or representations of an impersonal Supreme.

Thus Hinduism includes both monism and monotheism. It is misleading to call the Abrahamic religions,"the monotheistic traditions," implying that monotheism is absent from the Eastern traditions. Vedanta includes many monotheistic schools. They may accept the existence of many gods and goddesses, but strongly emphasizes the pre-eminence of the Supreme Deity.
