It was 18th November and 11.55 PM to be absolutely precise, when I met my destiny for the first time. She was wrapped in a green cloth with her eyes closed. I was dazed by the mere sight of it. She was looking beautiful and I was completely in a sea of thoughts, bewildered and amazed…!!!!!!!

Not that I didn’t know that she will be arriving in the world sooner than later, yet it was unexpected on many accounts. Firstly she came 8 days before expected and secondly all the so called Pundits and experienced pro’s prediction of a baby boy went for a toss and I was so happy to get a doll in my lap.
11.45 PM - “Congratulations – You got blessed with a baby daughter”, the lady doctor said, I was completely surprised with this news, so I said hmm ok wow…..
It took me around 4-5 days to sink in this change in my life. As I look back at the moment I can still recapture all the moments and all the emotions that I went through, surely that was the biggest moment of my life. It was a moment of joy and unprecedented happiness. As the night rolled along and we were waiting for the doll to come to use, I went through so many emotions and thought that I spent the whole night awake. This was a new feeling, feeling of pleasure, feeling of shear joy and above all - feeling Fatherhood….
It was exactly 10.18 AM when we got the possession of our doll. She was so cute and a real sleeping beauty. I was so frightened to touch her. She was pinkish and I had this funny feeling that for a manly hand like us, it would be a torture even to put a finger on her sophisticated skin. I can still recall that it was after almost 3 hours of apprehension and deliberation I took her in my lap for the first time and felt her. It was a ravishing feeling to say the least. She was resting against my chest and I was enjoying my daughter, my fatherhood.

I am realizing that Nayanika is well and truly the “CONSTANT” of our life from now on…….
