You might see more infancy and childhood related posts from me, but if you were looking carefully you already saw them. Designer Desi Baby food, anyone?

As for nicknames, not yet. I suppose a nickname might emerge on its own.

That's embarassing! Anyway ignore everything I said in this post - except hearty congratulations to Amardeep and his wife.</p> I was just informed by a friend who knows much more about these things than I do that the name Puran (Amardeep’s son’s name) and Pooran (the name of the character (and subject of the song) from folk-lore I’ve been referencing throughout this thread) are TWO DIFFERENT NAMES.
