The Epic Year of my life - 2014

With just two more days left for this year to come to an end, i can say that this had been the most memorable and wonderful year of my life. Blessed with a Baby Girl - Navyaa. Sleeping and waking according to her, playing with her, running around her, praying for her... Becoming a mother is the biggest blessing of life. Honestly, I had been pretty occupied with her and spent such a less time to know what happened to the world. With whatever I could listen or read, some heartbreaking incidents took place - Malaysian Aircraft going missing. We cannot even imagine the pain and grief of the families of the passengers on board that ill fated flight. Another such incident occured yesterday with the Air Asia flight. I pray that they could atleast find out what happened to that flight. Peshawar attack on innocent school children. Floods in J & K. Something good which happened was Mr. Modi becoming the Prime Minister of India. No idea how quickly he can turn the future of India toward betterment but have got some faith in our PM who speaks up. 
On personal front, apart from having Navyaa in our lives, have got many events lined up - 3 weddings to attend. My nephew turned One. Our nana ji completed 90 years of his life but unfortunately we lost him the same year. Have been super busy managing office and home but with family support, it had been good so far. 
God knows what this coming year has in store. I know it cannot be all happy 'n' merry but pray for less harsh time. Wishing all of you a Very Happy n Prosperous New Year - 2015!!!

Heya... The Life has Changed...

Heya...
It had been over an year that I have not written anything on my blog. Boy, what an eventful year it was...
 
My new status: I am a Mommy now... !!! Blessed with a cute little Baby Girl, whom we have named as Navyaa on 26th Feb, 2014.
 
Life changed since then... Actually it changed much before that, when we came to know that we are expecting the baby. Had never taken care of myself like that, had never eaten such healthy food, so many fruits and so much of coconut water. Enjoyed every bit of royal treatment given to me by family and friends and people at office. As the time to the D-Day drew closer, my anxiety multiplied.
 
When finally admitted to hospital, in no longer than 15 minutes so many procedures started which actually scared me. Almost closed my eyes when I was laid down on the operation bed, coz operation theatre is a scary place to be in. And then, hubby dear arrived and took my hands in his... That was reassuring. I could not believe my ears when I heard the first little cry of my baby. I kept on asking repeatedly if my baby is fine, coz I had not seen her. So many thoughts running around in my head in those few moments, till one of the doctors from the team brought her and put her on my chest... I HADVEACTUALLY GOT A HEALTHY BABY!!!
 
And ever since then I actually realized the importance of my mom's favourite dialog - "jab tum maa banogi tab pata chalega ke humko tumhari itni chinta kyun hoti hai". I realized that almost every single minute; even now, when today she completed 4 months. Every day was and is a new day with her. Is she getting enough milk, why is she so dull today, is she looking weak, why is she not falling to sleep, why is she sleeping so much??? All negative thoughts just to ensure if she is fine...
 
It's so amazing to see the journey of creation of a baby and how he learns so many things on his own. How she learnt where to get her milk from, how to convey that she is wet, how to fall asleep, how to smile, laugh, roll over on her tummy, 'speak' all those funny things; which we of course don't understand... I sometimes call her 'kudrat ka karishma'... Funny it is I know, but that's my reaction when I see her do something new...
 
Now all of a sudden priorities have changed... who cares about the favourite TV shows, forget about watching a movie, look for a clean place to eat where she can also lie down comfortably, 1 am is too early to sleep, do multi tasking, revise all those nursery rhymes and learn the bed time stories...
 
And now is the time to join my office. Only if someone tells me that I have an option to quit my job and stay home... How can I leave her behind and miss so many activities which she will do now? It's already so hard to stay away from her during our practice sessions where I leave her with her grand parents almost throughout the day...
 
But that's what life is about. Have to leave her behind only to come running back to home and play with her... Always pray to God to keep her healthy and active. God bless her...!!!
