Lara's Song is the theme song from Dr. Zhivago. Dr. Zhivago is a movie which came out in America in 1965, starring Omar Sharif, and Julie Christie. The movie is based on the novel, "Dr. Zhivago" by Boris Pasternak. It is a love story-drama set in the back drop of WWI. The main characters revolve around Lara (Larissa is her full name).
This is where I first learned of the name Lara, and since I was a young woman, I've always thought I would name my daughter Lara. And now here she is, Ms. Lara Sehgal... My daughter, born on January 29, 2013.
We thought we would name her Lara as it has multiple meanings, and transcends all cultures and languages. In fact, Lara is a short form of not on Larissa (Russian), but also Laranya (Asian-Indian). It's a short, sweet name, easy to pronounce, yet beautiful. Especially growing up in the United States where names are routinely butchered if they are not "normal" American names.
Lara, pronounced LAR-ah, means Protection in Latin (i.e. the protector of households); It also means Cheerful and Famous. Lara (short from Laranya -Indian) can also mean Graceful.
So, Anurag and I decided to name her Lara. She was born 8lbs, 10 oz at 8:18pm.
If you notice, all of the numbers have something to do with the number 8. I will take that to be auspicious.
Her Birthday: 01-29-2013 (if you all all of the numbers, it adds up to 8)
The time she was born: 8:18pm
And her weight: 8lbs, 10 oz.
