I'm not sure how I feel about this cap.
Hello Everyone,

Puran Singh ("Master P," as some people are already calling him) was born Saturday 9/30 at 8pm. He's 8 pounds, 2 ounces (3.7 Kg), and both he and mommy are doing well. We have lots of family around helping us out and giving support (thanks, everyone), and the hospital experience has been pretty good, though the final stage of labor was difficult (it always is).

The name means "fulfillment," "completion," or "perfection." No one in our family has been named "Puran," but there are a couple of famous people who have had this name: including a social worker named Bhagat Puran Singh and a famous Punjabi poet. In the Sikh tradition, the first letter of a baby's name is usually chosen by opening the Guru Granth Sahib at random, and taking a "Vakh." The first letter of the page opened is supposed to be the first letter of the baby's name. In our case, we got "P," and we immediately thought of "Puran."

Love,
Amardeep and Samian
