Senia Comes Home

July 21, 2009

Senia Visa Nair (i.e. Visionaire!) was born on a beautiful morning on the 15th of July 2009 at Lenox Hill Hospital on Park Avenue in New York City. Weighing in at 6 lbs 9.4 oz and a healthy 19 inches long, she arrived without incident.  Both baby and mamma are healthy and dad is napping when possible.

Sahana couldn’t be more thrilled to have a new baby sister. Every time she sees the little one she smothers her with kisses and affection.

And now, about that name.  The original announcement had the baby pegged as Sajini.  But after the happy announcement to the family we were met with diverted eyes and subtle hints like “Say hi to the new baby named baby” instead of “Say hi to Sajini”.  So, in a last minute decision, we switched it back to the name we had originally intended, Senia.

In Greek, Senia means welcoming, in Arabic, little bird, and in India it is a famous style of sitar playing that was developed by Miyan Tansen for the court of Akbar in the late 16th century.  Whether she will be musically inclined is yet to be determined, but she definitely is a little bird and we are certain that she will be as welcoming as the larger families of the Dhital’s and Nair’s that she is a part of.
