Here I Come... J

31 December 2015...

Time... 2 AM...

Mom is uneasy, dad is nervous... I am tired of staying inside and making them wait...

Time... 4 AM...

Mom is very uneasy, dad is very nervous... I think its time to come out and feel the air against my face...

Time... 6 AM...

Somehow, dad gets mom to go back to sleep... But he knows in his heart now, that I am coming today... And despite claiming to be completely ready, he is super nervous!!! Well, you know I can be intimidating sometimes J

Time... 8 AM...

This is too much... Dad’s just taking it too easy... And I decide to up the tempo a little bit... In fact, I decide to go full throttle and make dad run to the hospital... I know mom’s in a lot of pain, but its a package that she had signed up for...

Time... 835 AM

I’m at the hospital, and they take us straight to the labour ward... I see an army attending my mom, Choti Taiji and dad by her side at all times and Dadi just outside...

I am trying hard to come and meet them, and its not all that easy...

Finally, at 2:55 PM... I arrive J

Welcome World.... :)

P.S. Coming soon... (in no particular order)... (a) Visitors Galore... Thank you for coming, (b) Small celebrations... (c) My first month... (d) The Cradle Ceremony...

When???

Decmber 2015...

Like life, I am an unpredictable soul...

The question that everyone is asking since the past 8 months is... will your baby come this year or the next? And believe me, I am in no hurry to reveal J

                                                                             
                                                                           Or

December or January... That is the Question

And they celebrate (again)

13 November 2015

I had not even recovered fully from the Diwali Dhamaka, when suddenly, after just a day’s gap, we had more celebrations, more guests, more make-up, more jewellery and more (you know...) FOOD...

Its time to pamper mom... They are celebrating her Godh Bharai... There’s games, dance, drama, friends and of course Family... a small, beautiful and intimate affair J

So here you go... some pics of the occasion

In a hurry today... will write more about it some other day...

Let there be Light

Boom...

Boom...

What is all this noise about!!!

Looks like I am in a warfield!!! There’s noise all around... Every minute or two, and then even more frequently...

However, for all the blasts outside, the whole family seemed to be quite happy!!! They are smiling, eating, laughing, cracking jokes and eating like crazy... (I can smell the food, you know)...

After a whole lot of confusion, I understood that its Diwali... the celebration of lights, happiness and togetherness...

Diwali is special because its with Family... This brings melody to the noise all around us... and brings tears of joy and nostalgia J

Here are a few snaps of my first Diwali (The family Diwali Selfie is my personal favourite)...

Happy Diwali Everybody... 

Yeah I have that positive effect...

June to October 2015...

After 3 months of over cautious behaviour, there are smiles everywhere... Dadu, Dadi, Bade Papas and Badi Mummies are busy telling people about me with a lot of joy...

The broad smiles came back, the nervousness vanished and the care increased... Even from inside, I could sense a touch of excitement in all they did... Mom, though fully active in her school, took a little better care of herself. Ate better, ran lesser, even took the lift t school once in a while K... Dad was being all caring and mushy too... helping her with her breakfast whenever needed, bringing fruits and asking more often, called / messaging more often from office... spent more time at home and “Health and happiness” became the mantra at home...

All this with just a look at me... Indeed, there must be something exciting about my presence... I am surely having a positive impact on them...

So here are a few snaps of my early days...

** (A. At my first scan, B. Ready for a quiet date, C. Sinful delights at Kaficko, D. Fun and frolic at Aalankrita and time out with office guys...

As for me; You can see me in their eyesJ

They catch a glimpse of me...

Sometime in June, 2016...

Last three months have been weird... I have heard that the news of baby’s arrival is a very happy event for parents... (remember Hum aapke hain Kaun... Renuka Shahane gives the news and full family celebrates (song... song... song...).

But God!!! My parents are weird...

They seem shocked that I’m coming... That I exist seems to be the best kept secret in the world!!! My mom spent 15 days in Kota (Nanighar) but didn’t utter a word about my coming... My dad was equally quiet, if not more... We even went to Goa, but all they did there, was sleep... sleep and sleep some more...

After 12 weeks we went back to a doctor... I thought they are going to a psychiatrist to see whats wrong with them JJ.

But they did something even better... they went to the doctor to get a glimpse of how I look... and this was the first picture that was taken of me.. CHEESE...  J

**For anyone who doesn’t realise (yet) how good looking I am... (a) I’m 1 finger big at the moment, (b) my eyes shine (see again) and (c) I’m smart enough to say “Hi!!” (see my right hand) and (d) the black and white scan doesn’t do justice to my good looks!! K

To tell them that I was hale and hearty, and comfortable inside, I did my tricks... I jumped, swam, rolled over and showed my acrobatic skills to them, and indeed, they were thrilled... dad holding my mom’s hand tightly and both of them smiling nervously JJJ

I am Coming... soon

Date 30 April 2015

Hyderabad...

Its 7 PM in the evening... Mom is all excited to go to Kota... Papa is helping us pack up and will come with us for a couple of days... Though they have been thinking about me all the time, they seem to be ignoring me today...

So I decide to make my presence felt... I start throwing tantrums in mommy's tummy and make life difficult for her... So much so, that she's cant move and is stuck to our sofa...

Daddy came home all worried, got mom to rest, did final bits of packing, cooked the food himself (amazing parathas & all) :) :)

And after being scared for a long time, they did the test...

Its official, I am coming... Soon!!! :) :)
