baby shower....and the thoughts!

What a day it was! Kruti's baby shower....I, in fact we, were quite normal when we woke up...It seemed like any other Sunday. The only thing on our minds was that there are people coming home and then we take them forlunch after the puja.

But as the time started nearing both of us were quite excited. Kruti started dressing up in her saree from 0815 in the morning. it took about 45 mins for her to get dressed. I had a qucik bath at 0930. Devan came in at 1030 sharp and within another 20mins, thompy, Manish and Pratik also came in with their respective spouses.
We began the vidhi at @ 11 and it was over in 10 mins. We then served everyone custard and then we went off for lunch...had a gala time....

...while all this was going on...there seemed some conversation goin on within me. It was as if unknowingly I was talking with me inside. I don't know what it was all about. It was just that I kept feeling that something big is going to happen to our life. We are going to get a new permanent guest..a little one...somone we have been longing for some time now...the center of our life...the stressbeater...the cutest person on this earth...the symbol of our family...
..and then I also get the feeling....am I really ready for the responsibility..Yes....but am I capable to take the responsibility? Will I be a good Father? Will I be able to provide him/her with the best things in life? Will we be able to raise our child in his/her best interests?

Its a lot of confusion...and joy...mixed feelings...I really don't know how to express myself...I myself don't know what I am thinking....I am just waiting for that great day when our bundle of joy will arrive in this world and I'll hold him/her in my arms..sing songs to her...take her to sleep...show him/her the world....make him/her the most noble, responsible and respected citizen of the world. May god bless the baby with the best of health and intelligence....

Beautiful poem...nostalgic!
