Chennai sources stated that there will be a flood of Abhinandans on the birth register of hospitals and maternity clinics across the country in the days to come, such is the aura created by this man over a cup of tea. Meanwhile even as Wing Commander Abhinandan Varthaman crossed over the Wagah-Attari border and moved back to Indian soil, the entire nation heaved a huge sigh of relief.
Furthermore at a hospital in north Chennai, another family heaved a similar sigh after their daughter gave birth to a baby boy after some complications. Parimalam Ramanathan said "The timing was almost perfect. Abhinandan came back to India at 9:20, her boy was born at 9.21 and so they have decided to name him after Abhinandan. We expect him to serve the nation just like him after growing up”.
Further north in Rajasthan's Alwar district, another family who wanted to remember Wing Commander Abhinandan Vardaman's bravery too named the baby 'Abhinandan.' When speaking to the press, the baby's mother Sapna Devi stated "By naming his son Abhinandan, we will keep reminding him about the valor of the pilot and he would like him to become a brave soldier just like him." Moreover social media users also took to celebrate the Wing Commander's return by tweeting pictures of newborns named Abhinandan. One user, Kesar Chauhan tweeted, "My brother gave birth to a baby boy yesterday, we have decided to keep his name Abhinandan”.
