Last Post

This is my last post for some time, I am not sure when i would start posting again. Got a call that my wife is being admitted into the hospital and mostly, tomorrow I will be a father. As of now i am in a state of calmness. Nothing seems bothering enough to break this trance. I always wanted a girl but i don't care anymore. There are people who would think that i would be pretty disappointed if it is not going to be a girl but it does not matter anymore. I already fell in love with this little one entering my life and i am eager to meet him/her.

And So It Begins...

Yesterday's scan revealed that the baby has turned head down, ready to travel down the birth canal. It got me into thinking if the baby is really ready to face this world.
Nine month's ago he/she(we don't know the sex yet) has traveled in the opposite direction along with millions of others inching their way to the womb.(Science Fact: A sperm travels about one third of an inch in an hour, a strenuous journey I bet) Out of the hundreds that have made it to the womb this one has successfully fertilized the egg passing the first test for survival. He/She started as a single cell organism and in nine months, developed limbs, brain, organs, senses and turned into a fully grown baby.(Science Fact: The weight of the original fertilized egg has increased six billion times! What a concept!). Its fascinatingly amazing to even think that nine months back i could not even see this one with my naked eye and now i will be holding him/her in my arms any day this month.

I have been flooded with questions all these nine months with people asking me how i felt. Honestly the only feeling i had is concern for the health of my wife and the little one growing inside. As the time approaches for me to meet the baby i am overwhelmed by a flood of emotions. I am worried, scared, happy, anxious, excited at the same time.

Lots of questions

Do I have what it takes to be a good father? i am not even sure what it takes to be a good father.
Will i raise him/her so that he/she can live with his/her head held up
Will i be successful in passing them the principles and values to live by, like they were passed on to me by my father.
Will i be able to teach him/her to be self dependent like my father taught me to be.
Will he/she be proud of me like i am proud of my father.
Will i be at least half a good father as my own father was.

I don't have answers, maybe the time will tell... It would have been great if my dad could be here to help me out through this stage. I would love, for him to be here to hold the baby like he held me when i was born.

The question i have now is Am I Ready? I don't know but i am sure i will be ready when i have to be ready

You can do anything... Seriously

So i was driving to office like every other day minding my own business and suddenly this car zapped past me. i found something written on the rear window so followed it closely. It is more of a hobby, i get nearer to vehicles if i find anything written and read it to see if it amuses me.
The writings on this car amused me so much that i almost missed the turn i should take to my office.

"Nothing is impossible and you can do anything you want
If you want success please call +919347831636"

I had to chase the car for a long time before i could get the number by heart. In the above sentence "success" was written in Telugu, i am sure the guy didn't know the spelling. If any of you losers reading this post want success, go ahead call.

I am going to definitely call when i am really bored and in need of some serious entertainment and for that i have framed some questions. No I am not going to put them here... maybe i will if i get answers
