On the surface, flinging your terrified toddler from a great height is pretty weird. In fact, it's fu**ed up on lots of different levels.
But this ritual at the Baba Umer Durga in India has been going strong for 700 years. Apparently it brings a lifetime of health and luck to the babies. And with parents like that, those kids need some luck.
I'd like to reassure all my friends and family that Luca will be doing no flying or falling any time soon, he'll be lounging on the sofa, which happens to be one of his dad's favourite activities. That's my boy.

That's so wrong it's almost not funny. I hope someone in India is planning on stopping this from happening

ReplyDeleteSo they've made a sport out of something that would land them a night in jail (or worse) here in the US.
Sometimes, you just have to wonder.
