We've had very few "Name" discussion so far and I hope to increase the intensity of these discussions soon because I don't want a crappy nickname stuck to the child while we look for a name. I saw a cartoon in today's paper (incidentally by one of my old classmates) that declared Monsoon 2011 as the "expected due date" for the "birth of the Lokpal Bill".
Me: Great! You know if its a boy we can name the kid Lokpal- to be born in Monsoon 2011.
M (as usual not dropping a beat): Sure.
Me (as usual hoping to rile him into a proper conversation): You know how people in your community have names that end in pal...Vedpal, Rampal, Jagpal...etc. It follows LOKPAL!!
M: (puts down his section of the newspaper) You know how we run an online business...
Me: Ya...
M: How about we call him Paypal?
Score 1 for M.
