Baby Thiren's 28th Day Ceremony

A hindu temple priest was brought to the home (Dev's parents home in Malacca) for the 28th day ceremony held on 23 June. After the chanting of prayers and blessing of the baby, each family member was asked to dip his or her finger in honey and place it in baby Thiren's mouth and then proceed with whispering of his full name THIREN DEV TAN RAVINDRAN in his right ear three times. The honey marked the sweet journey in his life as his name was officially mentioned and introduced.

Daddy was in Sydney on that day. We didn't want Daddy to miss it, so a phone call was made to Dev, and Daddy uttered baby's name three times into baby's ear through the phone
