I remember...

I remember...it was a beautiful September morning...

I remember...it was Bright...Sunny...

I remember...mum had made lovely breakfast...

I remember...I was wearing my lovely black short kurti and white salvar

I remember...trying for the umpteenth time to fit into one of my beautiful sandals...& then deciding on to wear one of my not so happening sandals...

I remember...my mum applied holy oil on my forehead and blessed me(like I was heading on to some battlefield)

I remember...Su insisting that we could take the lift to our way down instead of climbing down 6 floors...

I remember...Su driving me to the hospital...

I remember...I was cribbing cos we didnot get a parking place very close to the hospital

I remember...I walked and stopped and walked and stopped...

bbbbbbbbbbbbrrrrrrreatttthhhhhhhhhhhhhhlesssssssssssssssssssss

I remember...Su was making fun of the way I walked...

I remember...the nurse doing a routine check-up

I remember...the doctor announcing to Su that I wouldn't be able to go to office cos "The Day has arrived"

I remember...I was shocked...this can't happen today...I haven't worked it in my head...

and then there was this slight pang of PAIN....

I REMEMBER...SU TELLING MY FRIENDS THAT 'THE DAY' HAS ARRIVED...AND THEY SOUNDED SO EXCITED....


I REMEMBER...WAITING ALL BY MYSELF IN THE HOSPITAL...WHILE SU WENT TO FETCH MUM...

was that another pang of PAIN???

I REMEMBER...NURSES DISCUSSING VEGETABLE OVER MY HEAD...AND DOCTOR TRYING TO GET EVERYONE TO WORK WITH HER...INCLUDING ME...(CAN'T, WELL RATHER SHOULDN'T GET INTO THE DETAILS...)

was that another pang of PAIN???

was that another pang of PAIN???

was that another pang of PAIN???

was that another pang of PAIN???

and then all I remember...is this tiny baby
and then all I remember is this tiny lil baby being weighed
and then all I remember is this baby cried for about 2 minutes and got distracted by tube lights
and then I remember…the baby being wrapped…
and then I remember…thinking to myself…Somebody tell me if I have a boy or a gal……………&&&&&&&&&&&&& the doctor announcing to me
“You have a baby Gggggggggguuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuurrrrrrrrrrrllllllllllllllllllllll”

Day before...

I & Su decided to step out, take in some fresh polluted air...

We first headed to this very popular joint for some yummy nice, sweet n sour, round round
G O L G U P P A ' S...some dhokla's...
followed by Starbucks...chilled cold coffee with wwwwwwwwwhhhhhhhhiiiiiiiiipppppped cream and loads of Iiiiiiiii-sssssssssssccccccccccrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrreeeeeeeaaaaaaammmmmm...
and all cos I have been getting bored...I was just telling Su and Mum that its painful to stay at home and with the prospect of the holidays stretching to a good 6 months...I wasn't sure how I was gonna spend it...and how much was I gonna enjoy them????

Sigghhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...anyways ya...so where was I ???Gol-guppas n Ice-cream were not the ONLY happening thing, we rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrraced our car to reach home, ONLY to find that there was a power-cut...amazingly enough I climbed 6 floors without any complains and all the while Su kept telling me...Please we can't be re-tracing our steps back and that I should wait till the power came back...poor Su...Hard day at work and an equally hard day at home...can't blame him... :)

and this was exactly the day before, when Mummu decided it was time for her to make the grand appearance...
