MomOfOneFunOne Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 My daughter's dear, dear, Math teacher is ill, quite ill. What's the custom in India? Does one send flowers? Grapes? Nothing? If one wanted to send something (and one definately does ;)), is there a way to do that like flowers? For example, if one wanted to send flowers to a friend in Maine, one could call a local shop up there or use a national company (teleflora, et al). Is something like that possible in India? Thanks!

Tree House Academy Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 I am not really sure. Wonder if you could search google for customs in India...or even something like "Illness customs in India." ??? Hope you find out and sorry to hear her teacher is sick. Is your dd in India?

sleepymommy Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Hmm, I'm thinking it's not that customary, but I found some links for sending flowers and here. Hope this helps and I hope he/she feels better soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan in KY Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Hold on, I'll try to email my in-laws. It make take a while before I get a reply, though.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MomOfOneFunOne Posted July 31, 2009 Author Share Posted July 31, 2009 No, my daughter is not in India. I didn't even think how that would sound.:tongue_smilie: She has an online math class; the teacher is in India but we're here (U.S.). I would like to do something nice for her like send flowers or the cultural equivalent but . . . am at a loss. I'll wait for your reply, Susan! Meanwhile, I'll check out those links! Thanks, guys!

Susan in KY Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Off the top of my head, I do believe we have sent flowers before and it can be done fairly easily. You can order online at an Indian florist. I am sure anything would be appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peela Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 I think flowers or for Indians in particular, sweets of some kind, would be appreciated just like they would be here. But probably, so would a home made card by your daughter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan in KY Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 My daughter's dear, dear, Math teacher is ill, quite ill. What's the custom in India? Does one send flowers? Here's what BIL wrote (cut-and-pasted): Send a card with a few thoughtful lines. That should do. They don't perish - and are usually read over and over again - unlike flowers! We get 'thinking of you' cards here -or just a long letter. Mum does the letter usually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
