Wish you a very-very happy Birthday...

My Dear Sarakshi,

Today you are going to complete one year and I can see the most happiest person of the world in front of me...dressing you up for today’s party. The party you may hardly remember but for your mother this is just like  achieving a mile stone..From the day, you were born..She has celebrated 15^th of every-month and wished you happy birthday every time.

Truly speaking, you are just like a dream come true for Us.

In everybody’s life, few times only the moment comes when they celebrate their wish in reality. First, I celebrated it on 26^th April 2008 when I got married with your mother and second was on 15^th Feb, 2011 when your mother has promoted me as your father. I believe this will be the best promotion of any man’s life or you can say the best gift from her better-half. And even for this, God has not made any return gift. So the only thing I could say to your mother was “thanks”. And I will really be thankful to her for my whole life, for giving me such a wonderful daughter. Really sweet-heart, I always wished for a girl child and your mother has full-filled my wish.

You were just 3 days old when you travelled your first journey. This was the day when your mother got discharged from the hospital and you were going to see your home very first time. Though this is rented house but this is the place where your parents have shared all their happiness, sadness, pleasure with each other. And this is the place where they have dreamed for you.  

 I am not sure about your cricket interest as of now but just want to tell you that you had watched all the matches of 2011 world cup and you had enjoyed the celebration of winning the world cup with us on the roads of Bangalore till mid-night of 2^nd April, 2011. We received a lot of comments like “Meethi aayi world-cup laayi” from our family and friends. And truly dear, all Indian cricket fan got this moment after 28 years wait and that to the year when we got you.

Lifestyle of the young couple has been changed. As per the new time-table, your mother took a break from her professional life and started serving you for 24*7. For me also, now there are two babies to take care and to love. I started working hard on daily basis to leave office as soon as possible. Your mother used to share all of your activities whenever we used to talk during my office time and also in the evening when I reach home. Sometimes the same story 2 times. She has tried to capture all your moves, sometimes she noted down your first word , your first toy etc in a scrap book, sometimes she used to run behind you holding camera in her hands, sometimes she just keep watching you when you were sleeping on her lap.

After 5 months, you started exploring your home and now it was becoming hard for us to catch you. We used to put you near your toys but you were more interested for cutlery items like spoon, bowl etc, which we forgot somewhere on the table. By each passing day you were becoming more active and now it has became really hard for us to capture your moves but at the same time we were enjoying your new-new activities. And it was someday in November when you had taken your first step towards your parents. We both were very excited to store the moment but you had not allowed us to capture and still we haven’t got the chance to store your steps in camera, though it will always be there in our heart & memories. But don’t worry your father will never give up J

“Hey, see our baby got tooth”, one day your mother shouted. I don’t know if any of us(Me & your mother) were having half of this excitement for their own tooth, but after seeing our bunny rabbit we were very much excited and your mother used to show me your tooth mark whenever you kiss/bite her but still I am waiting for such mark on my face, may be my beard is the culprit.

Today morning when we wished you “Happy Birthday”, you yourself were clapping for your birthday. And when you came to see the decoration for your birthday, holding your mother’s hand, I was seeing how strongly 21^st century is trying to get support from 20^th century for moving forward and how 20^th century was helping her for placing her steps correctly.  My sweet-heart, your parent will always be there to help you and I wish if you may have the same faith as you are having now.

Love you sweet-heart

Ur father
