First time


20th June 2013

The first time I saw Neeraja ( my wife ) go through a sonography ( rather, this was the first time I was allowed to watch it.. :) ).
The first time I saw my kiddo..
The first time I ever saw those tiny weeny hands.. one clenched in a fist, and the other held open as if telling us not to worry..
The first time I saw that tiny little heart beating at 127bpm, as if racing against our's, beating equally fast with the sheer excitement..

The first time I felt something that was un-expressable, yet so pure.
That exhilarating feeling of a new life taking form.. phew..
I am short of words and breath as I try to put down whatever that I am feeling right now.

Excitement. Happiness. Fear. Tension.
Its all there. A perfect blend. With all the ingredients well mixed in right amounts - like a perfect cocktail !
A perfect cocktail that'll give you a high that no drug/ alcohol can ever give you in your entire life, they tell me. Yeah, every single father - ones my age and the oldies as well. I am hard to convince usually, but this ! I take their word for it. I do.

November its going to be..
Cheerio !
