In most Hindu communities Mundan is performed in 1st or 3rd year of life but our family does not have any such restrictions therefore we chose this day for Sparsh's Mundan since the weather is just right and the navratris are on which makes it an auspicious day (saptami). With guidance from family friends we chose a balaji temple for the sanskar. The barber was nice and friendly and took utmost care while shaving Sparsh's head. But, like most kids Sparsh did not like it and started crying like anything. His father kept him close to him and held him firmly throughout the sanskar (though he was very upset and does not want our kid to go thru any other torture like this on the name of traditions!). All was well once the Mundan was over and Sparsh looked sooo cute after he took a bath. We sleeked lord balaji's blessings in the end and returned home with satisfaction that a big milestone in our son's life has passed.
