I love this story. She is probably going to get lots of flack for this in the tabs and on the web, but this something about this Hindi tradition seems very sweet to me. Padma Lakshmi was photographed with her adorable 2 year-old daughter a few days ago but little Krishna was missing her curly haired pigtails.

At first glance, it would appear that the 41-year-old gave her little girl a very drastic buzz cut. But according to Hindu tradition, the hair from birth is associated with undesirable traits from past lives.The TV presenter was simply observing the ritual called Mundan where a child is freshly shaven to signify freedom from the past and moving into the future.
