60 Popular Lord Hanuman Names for Baby Boy
‘What’s in a name?’said Shakespeare. But then Shakespeare wasn’t a devout Hindu who would like to give his or her son a meaningful name with the hope that he would live up to that name. The name is the first identity of a person. A person’s name tells a lot about the kind of person he or she may be. And choosing the right name is by no means an easy task. You certainly don’t want to give your child a name that will embarrass him when he grows up and even make him a laughing stock or make him want to change his name when he comes of age.
In Hinduism, naming a baby is based on the baby’s sun sign or Raashi and the name beginning with the alphabet associated with that sun sign. But generally, the parents choose not to use these names suggested by the Pundit Ji carrying out the Naamkaran or the naming ceremony and, give their children names that they want to. These days, the parents are on the lookout for unusual and yet meaningful names that find an extension to their culture, tradition and, religion as well.
And what would be better than a name associated with one of the gods? Almost all Hindu gods have more than one name and, each name with a different deep meaning. One of the most loved Gods is Hanuman, a central character in the Ramayana, and there are various names of Hanuman with respect to his many extraordinary qualities, feats, and deeds. Some of these names, he shares with the other gods also.
Hanuman, the Monkey God, son of Kesari and Anjana Devi, born with the blessings of Vayu, the Wind God, is an epitome of many virtues. His dedication, devotion, and loyalty to Lord Rama are well known. The many other virtues he represents are power, courage, hope, knowledge, intellect, compassion, wisdom, bravery, fearlessness, perseverance, selflessness, humility, humour and many more. Every name of this loved deity symbolises one of the virtues possessed by him. It is believed that chanting his name will keep away all forms of evil.
You will be surprised to know that Lord Hanuman has more than a thousand names. Many of these are long, difficult to spell and pronounce. We have selected for you names that are short and easy, have a nice sound and are easy to call out.

Complete Vaccination Guide For Your 12 Months Old
Now that your baby has turned one, you may think he needs fewer vaccines than before. Truth is, twelve months is a very crucial stage in your baby's life, and you need to take certain shots to ensure that he is in the pink of health.
Check out the list of vaccines your baby needs to take at this age
1. Hepatitis A
Along with maintaining hygiene in everyday life, taking this vaccine is a sureshot way to prevent your darling from contracting Hepatitis A. And don't forget, the next dose is just three months away, when your baby turns 18 months old.
2. Hib
This vaccine safeguards your child from serious infections like epiglottitis, meningitis, and pneumonia. Previously given at two, four and six months of age, now is when you give her a final booster dose.
3. MMR
The first dose of the MMR vaccine has to be administered between the age of 12-15 months. Short for Measles, Mumps and Rubella, this vaccine protects your little one from these contagious viral diseases. For full protection, take the next shot at 4-6 years of age, right before he joins kindergarten.
4. PCV
PCV shields children under the age of 5 from some of the worst childhood diseases like meningitis and pneumonia. Previously administered at 2 months, 4 months and 6 months, this is the final dose of this vaccine for your little one.
5. Varicella
Remember the itchy red spots and scars caused by chickenpox? Well, you can prevent all of that by the Varicella vaccine. Remember to keep her protected by going for the second shot when your child is 4-6 years old.
6. Influenza
To prevent contraction of the flu (seasonal, H1N1 and bird flu), an annual Influenza shot is recommended for everyone who is 6 months and older.
Remember, vaccines keep your bundle of joy protected from dangerous and deadly diseases and illnesses. Make sure you consult your paediatrician if your baby experiences any major or minor side-effects. Read more

Head Banging in Babies and Toddlers
Babies and infants, being still in the early stages of life out of the womb, are slow to outgrow habits that are formed in the womb. Such habits include thumb-sucking, body-rocking and head-bangin
What is Head Banging?
Head-banging is the act of tapping one’s head against a hard surface in a rhythmic manner. It is often done by babies as a way to find relief from pain or frustration.
Is Head Banging Common in Babies and Toddlers?
Head-banging is relatively common. It is believed to affect around twenty per cent of infants, the majority of them being between 18 and 24 months of age.
How Long does it Last?
Head-banging is a habit child naturally grow out of by the age of four years. If the habit persists beyond three years, however, it would be wise to have it checked by a professional to see if it might be caused by something out of the ordinary.
What are the Signs of Headbanging in a Young Child?
Banging the back of the head against a wall or chair when sitting upright.
Banging head against mattress when lying face down.
Rolling side-to-side on the bed or crib, in such a fast way that the head impacts on the mattress or the side of the crib, even leading to the development of a bald spot.
Rocking back and forth rhythmically when on their hands and knees and going low enough to repeatedly hit their head on the floor.
It usually happens when the child is frustrated or sleepy.
Why do Babies and Toddlers Bang their Heads?
Though mostly done as a habitual soothing rhythmic act, head banging could be caused by pain, frustration and other factors.
1. Comfort
The prominent theory on headbanging in babies posits that it is a manifestation of the child’s kinaesthetic drive. Kinaesthetic drive refers to the pleasure one feels in movement – rocking in a cradle, swinging, sliding, etc. Even when in the womb, the foetus is constantly rocked as the mother moves about. This soothing feeling in rhythmic movement is what comes into play when you rock your baby to sleep too!
2. Pain
Just like adults, babies instinctively recognise that a mental distraction could help focus away from pain. Head-banging is used as a means to numb the pain the baby feels from teething, ear infections, and other causes.
3. Frustration
The reason behind a baby head-banging could simply be frustration. This is especially true of babies that are yet to learn to speak or express their frustration in any other way.
4. Attention
The human craving for attention is a natural part of being a social animal, and in infants, it could sometimes express itself as toddler headbanging tantrums.Babies who do this need to be observed carefully as it could result in self-harm just to get attention.
5. Developmental Challenges
Headbanging behaviour is often seen in children with autistic tendencies, and less often, other developmental issues. However, as far as head banging babies go, this is only a minority of the cases.
How is Diagnosis of Head Banging Made?
As stated before, in a minority of cases of headbanging, it may be an indication of developmental issues like baby headbanging autism.Diagnosis of autism can only be made at the age of fourteen months or older as it is by this age that primary communicative cognisance begins developing.
Pointing – the baby uses their hand and fingers to point at something they want to show you.
Following sight – If you happen to turn your head away from the baby, to look at something else, the baby naturally follows your glance.
Playing pretend – A big part of infants playing with toys involves them substituting the toy to represent something else. For example, a child pushing a block forward, pretending it’s a car.
If a baby of fourteen months or higher does not display any of these characteristics, there is a likelihood of autism.
What to do when your Child Bangs its Head?
A head-banging child might be a worrying sight and thinking about how you can stop the behaviour may make you head-bang, yourself! Here are some things to keep in mind:
1. It is Natural
The behaviour fades away as the baby grows older and disappears by age 4. Also, the baby isn’t hurting itself beyond regulation as they control the action themselves.
2. Do not Encourage Self-Harming for Attention
If the baby is headbanging with the intent of securing your attention, giving them attention right then is the worst thing to do. This would make them repeat such behaviour later on and could lead to serious self-harming tendencies in later life.
Give the baby more attention when they are not headbanging. It is best to ignore the behaviour as scolding them could aggravate the situation.
3. Secure your Environment
This is one of the situations where baby–proofing the living area pays off. Protect your child’s head by making sure no sharp, pointy objects or other grating hard surfaces, such as granite, are present. For babies who head-bang prior to sleep – make sure their bed or cradle has no loose screws or sharp edges they might accidentally hit. Padding the sides of the cradle is recommendable.
4. Tiring Themselves Out
Headbanging indicates extra unspent energy, which may also be some nervous energy. Let the child utilise this energy in their play so that they go to bed exhausted.
5. Bedtime Routine
If the baby uses head-banging as a tool to get themselves to sleep, replace this with a bedtime routine that you are present for. It may be as simple as rocking them to sleep, reading them a story or lightly massaging them.
6. Calling the Doctor
If the baby head-bangs despite hurting themselves, it is best you consult a doctor. Check for signs of teething or ear-infection, as these trigger head-banging.
How can Head Banging be Prevented?
Head-Banging tends to be habitual. Hence the best way to curb it is to bring down the instances of head-banging. For example, distracting a child that is head-banging, setting up a bedtime routine, etc. all reduce the number of times the child does this, and in the long run, helps break the habit.
When to See a Doctor?
While this behaviour is mostly normal, you need to visit the doctor is:
The baby is sleepy all day and sleeps deeply during night time too.
Sometimes, excessive head-banging may cause vomiting. If the vomiting persists, call the doctor.
The child shows signs of being unsteady with improper coordination.
Speech becomes slurry and sight appears to be groggy for a long time.
If your 1-year-old baby is banging head causes concern for autism approach the doctor at around 14 months of age.
Head-banging is rarely an indication of underlying conditions as it is a natural act that babies stop doing by the age of 4. It usually just appears to be worse than it really is!

Tell Your Kids The Chhath Puja Story
Come November and it's time for one festival after another! A few days after Diwali is time for Chhath Puja, or one of the biggest festivals of Bihar. If you're observing Chhath or are curious about why Chhath Puja is celebrated, here's a complete story to share with your kids. After all, nothing like our festivals to introduce them to mythology!
Chhath Puja involves worshiping and thanking the Sun God over a period of four days. This is generally accompanied by fasting, as a symbol of respect and gratitude to the Sun - the one whose warmth lets us survive on Earth. This year Chhath Puja falls on November 17 so this is the best time to start learning about it!
How To Celebrate Chhath Puja
During the festival, devotees pray at the riverbank during sunrise and sunset. If your kids say “Why Mamma?”, tell them this: The solar energy has the lowest level of ultraviolet radiations during this time! It's thus the best time to soak in some sun. During the Puja, the Chhathi Maiya Goddess is worshipped. She is believed to be the consort of Surya.
On the first day is “nahai khai” or taking a dip in the Ganges. The recipe of the day is usually pumpkin curry, rice and channa dal.
On the next day, “kharna” is observed and kheer, chappatis and fruits constitute the main meals.
The third day is called “pehla argha”. Today is particularly tough for those observing a fast as they completely abstain from eating anything on this day.
On the final day is “doosra argha” when devotees break their fast and eat kheer, sweets, thekua and fruits. This is the traditional “Chhath prasad” and there's lots of rice, wheat, coconut and ghee that goes into its recipe!
The importance of Chhath Puja also lies in the celebration of the new harvest. Goes without saying, no Sun God, no harvest either! Now that you are all armed with information about Chhath Puja, explain the festivities to your children. Let them help you with arranging for the prasad, setting up the pandal and preparing the materials for the Puja. When sunrise and sunset arrives, you two can pray to the Sun God together and wish for millions of sunlit, beautiful days together! Read more

Heart-Melting Gifts for Your Sister-in-Law
Marriages in India are uniquely tied to both individuals; families. In fact, most people in India believe that you don’t just marry your partner, but also marry their family. As most people in India continue to live in joint families, it becomes extremely important to not just get along with all the members of the family but to develop real relationships with them. Your sister-in-law is one of the most important people in your partner’s life. Having grown up with them, their opinion and support are a must-have in the family dynamics.
Thoughtful Presents for Your Sister-In-Law
Gifting is an art and gifting to a new family member is no different. Not only do you have to ensure that the gift suits the occasion, but it also has to be thoughtful enough to actually make an impression. An important thing to keep in mind is the interests and personality of your sister-in-law. Do ask your partner for pointers on the same before deciding upon any gift. Here are 12 gifting ideas to help you choose the right gift.
1. Board Games
An occasion where most people are stumped is thinking of gift ideas for their sister-in-law on her birthday. These gifts should be fun and should speak to her personality and interests. A great place to start is board games. Do not be fooled into thinking that these are only for kids. Board games that can be played by the whole family are a lot of fun and also a good bonding experience.
2. Art and Craft Box
Chances are that your sister-in-law loves art and craft. This gift is easy to put together and will appeal to her. Buy a few art supplies that range across different craft categories. Find an empty cardboard box and fill it with the supplies. Some things you can include in the box are paints, tiny canvas, art glue, glitter, and a glue gun. Don’t forget to gift wrap the box!
3. Personalised Keepsake
This is a great way to make a utilitarian gift more thoughtful. The simplest version of this idea would be to get a heart-warming message printed on a plain coffee mug. A good example is ‘Sisters by marriage, Friends by choice’. You could also print funny messages if your sister-in-law has a sense of humour that you understand.
4. At-Home Spa Basket
A great gift idea for your sister-in-law on her birthday is an at-home spa basket. Make a collection of all her favourite beauty products and wrap it up in a basket. Add new ones with which she can truly pamper herself.
5. Books
For the sister-in-law who loves to cosy up and read, there can be no better gift than books. Get her a book of her favourite author or genre. To know which books she would like, ask your partner.
6. Place Mats
This is an ideal wedding gift for your sister-in-law. Post wedding, there comes the need to entertain family and friends home and beautiful place mats for her dining table will be a welcome addition.
7. Candles
Scented candles are a great gift for your sister-in-law, particularly if you are unsure of what she might like or use. Choose candles that do not have a very heavy scent and that come in a heatproof container. You can even go for small battery-powered candles.
8. Kitchen Set
Pick this type of gift only if you know that your sister-in-law loves to cook. Get her a utensil or gadget that will make cooking both easier and more joyful. You have many options from a multi-way electric pressure cooker to a good quality skillet.
9. Headphones
This gift idea is perfect for someone who loves music. Buy a good quality headset or speakers that will come handy when she is entertaining.
10. Body Pillow
While this gift might seem too utilitarian, it is the perfect gift for a pregnant sister-in-law. As she progresses through her pregnancy, she will find that it gets harder to find a comfortable position while sleeping. A good body pillow is the key to such a problem. You can always get a customised pillowcase to make it more personal.
11. Watch
A good birthday gift for your sister-in-law is a watch. You can get a watch that also tracks the number of steps taken so that she can pay more attention to her fitness. Be sure to check the style of watch that she generally prefers before buying anything.
12. Blanket
While you might not think that a blanket would be useful, it definitely has its place. Women tend to feel generally colder, and a heated blanket comes in handy during the winters. You can get this personalised with either a custom message or her name.
With these gift ideas, you cannot go wrong with pleasing your sister-in-law. Do remember to consult your partner before gifting her anything as they will know best.
