But on that 15th day of January, 2009

It was the first time that I had held a half-an-hour old baby in my 25 yr old hands.

It was the first time that I had felt the presence of God so close.

It was the first time that I felt nature so close.

It was the first time that I felt a miracle so close.

It was the first time that I had felt the power of conception is the biggest gift given to a women.

It was the first time I had thanked God for having made me a women.

It was the first time for so many things that I am short of words to express them here...

From this day onwards...

It is now everyday that I hold a new born baby in my hands and keep admiring her sleeping face.

It is now everyday that I enjoy the pleasure of sitting idle and watch the baby playing.

It is now everyday that I get the chance to change nappies of my new born niece.

It is now everyday that I look forward to evening approaching fast.

It is now everyday that I wait for the office to get over.

It is now everyday that I pray to God that we are not stranded at any red light.

It is now everyday that I thank God for having given me a beautiful niece.

It is now everyday that I see the twinkle in my mom's, dad's eyes when they hold up their first grand-child.

It is now everyday that I thank God...just simply.

Cognizant 2009!!!

Rays of the sun befall the dew drop, making it glow in glee
Birds weave the melody, you love to wake upto, swirling from tree to tree
Tabloid in hand, you turn more informed, with each sip of that quintessential tea
You rush to get ready, to see yourself at work, hoping for a chance to flee

Thus life goes by, day after day, joy and woe cheek by jowl
As yoy try to fathom the meaning of life and carve amongst it your role
But then befall things that leave you agape, that make you wake up and take note
Things that set you ticking, episodes that get you thinking, events not heard of before...
