A rose is....

"What's in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet" (Romeo and Juliet).

Smell sweet perhaps, but look as lovely?

We are thrilled to see pictures of our own Rose - namely Anjali-Rose Eden Eicher - who was born to Stefan and Neeru on Feb 5th this year - and her proud and loving brother Ashish!


Anjali lives with her Mummy and Daddy and big bro in Delhi. Only Sheba has seen her in the flesh so far - but we are hoping to make up for it as a family at the end of May at the latest.

Though we haven't asked the happy parents - I think the Rose is a reflection of Roesli - our Mother's middle and her Mother's first name. Roesli being a German dimunitive of 'Rose'. With our Asha having our Father's mother's name Alice as one of her 4 names - we now have both of our wonderful praying "Omas" (German for Grandmother) remembered in the lives and liveliness of our kids.
