The Half Birthday Special!!


It’s my baby’s half birthday today. He turned 6 months old. The past 6 months have been a roller coaster ride. The best ride of my life. With him, I have discovered who I truly am, how patient I can be and the limits my love and selflessness can cross for another person.

Every moment of the past 6 months has been so special that it deserves to be engraved in our memories forever.

To my little munchkin….

Hey Abdul Wahid,

You turned 6 months old today, as I write this letter. The past 6 months have been the best half year of my life. I want to recall and freeze every little moment of the past half year in my mind.

The first month, you were this tiny little new-born, who just slept and cried and fed and pooped and back to sleep. All my memories of you from your first month include me staring at you as you peacefully slept, missing you when you were in fact right in front of my eyes, yet dreading you waking up and start wailing again. I felt so overwhelmed as every little thing around me changed. My life was all about you now, I began to disappear.

The rush of emotions and the sleeplessness made me crazy, yet I wanted to be just around you. The second month when you began to smile, made life even more colourful. Its like my heart would dance each time you smiled; it still does. The first two months I was obsessed with clicking pictures of you stretching as you woke up from your sleep.

The third month you began to stay awake a little more and sleep a little longer, that’s when I felt my sanity begin to return a little bit. You began to turn to your side, and every time you did it, I felt so high.

Just as you were about to complete your fourth month, you learnt to roll over on your tummy, and you’ve mastered that ever since.

It’s not just these milestones that I cherish, it’s the many other little big things. The way you smile at me when you wake up makes me want to jump off the mountain, and by the amount of happiness I feel at that moment, I swear I would fly.

The way you keep trying to ask me to pick you up and hold you, makes my heart burst with happiness. The way you turn your head looking for me at the sound of my voice and smile as soon as you find me, makes me want to drop everything and spend my entire life living that moment.

The love I feel for you, I never thought anyone could ever feel for anybody. You’re that piece of my heart which renders every other piece useless. You are my light, my life, my happiness, my everything.

You’re my Abdul Wahid, my one and only. My me. I love you to the moon and back infinite times.
Happy half birthday sweetheart!!

MANUFACTURING A LIFE…

Image
Most of my thoughts these days are about the ability of all life forms to create life. Maybe this is because I am manufacturing a tiny human inside of me, or because the beauty of nature always amazes me deeply. Creating a living breathing human, literally from scratch, how can a person not be flabbergasted by that. Creating something from nothing (well, since God creates, and we just manufacture, lets substitute create with manufacture). Manufacturing a person from a single cell, way way way smaller than the tip of a needle, I am like WOW!! No matter how common or how ordinary it might seem, it still blows my mind away every time I think about it. Can you say your body has 2 beating hearts? Or 2 brains that are firing neurons like crazy? Or 2 different sets of human DNA? Well I can, at least for a few more months. And this feeling is extremely exhilarating. But well as exhilarating as it may sound or seem, it is still a heck load of work, obviously manufacturing a human...

MY FAVOURITE LADIES...

Once upon a time I lived with my parents and two younger sisters. What a time it was! And how often do I miss the little things that were once completely insignificant. Like the times me and my sisters would fight over how fast the fan should be or when we would argue over the time the lights should go out. And the times mom would call me a million times in office because it was raining, and the trains would be running late. “I’m a grown up. I can manage to get home alright!”, I thought. Surely, it all seemed like a big pain in the rear at that time. But looking back at it today, that is the time I have the fondest memories of. Never had I realised that having two sisters to annoy me would be the thing I would miss the most after I got married. Well, when we fought, mom would always say, “Shaadi hogi tab pata chalega, ek dusre ko dekhne tarsoge!” (you will realise when you get married, you will crave to see each other). Of-course then it was like, what the hell are you talki...

WHEN YOU TELL ME THAT YOU LOVE ME

When you begin to realize how important you are to your baby do you feel like this is how he says he loves you? You are the most important person to them. You are all that they want, all that they can’t live without. You might not realise that they love you more than you love them. Or atleast just as much. Their world revolves around you, they can’t even sometimes spend an hour without looking at you. You are their first thought every morning and their last every night. The first person they think of when they find something exciting.   The one they want to show their favourite toy to and the one they want to be held by when they fall. You were once their food factory too. You are their mother, their best friend, their hugging pillow, their comforter. You are the person they scan a room for. The purest most unadulterated form of love is not the one a mother gives her baby, it is the one her baby gives her. Well, I for one have adjusted my babies schedule to fit my needs ...
