Day 96
I seem to be saying babies all around me. I mean, its not even funny anymore. Anywhere i look, kids! That too toddlers! Kids in prams, kids in arms, kids in all sizes and shapes and colors! Its a riot!
And now i cant wait to have my own!
Just yesterday, some one asked me, " Do you want a boy, or a girl?". My natural reactions was, 'It just has to be a healthy baby". What more can one ask at this point of time.
On a parallel note, I am in the midst of gathering some good soothing music and discourses that the wifey (and eventually the baby) can listen to. We live in times where one doesnt have the luxury of having the grandma read Ramayan, or Gita to the expectant mother, because of work and other pressures of living a superfast life. So we try and make do with whatever we can. In our case, recordings of pravachans, bhajans, and chapters from the Ramayan and Gita. That is the closest I think we could get to having the right spiritual ingredients for the baby to grow well.
I think Richard Clayderman, Beethoven and Pandit Hariprasad Chaurasia would be excellent additions to the collection. If it turns out good, maybe i"ll make it into a family heirloom, to be passed on from generation to generation, each time with better compression technology, and better sound quality :) .
Till then, can you recommend some music that i must have for this momentous journey?

Go Goa!
Day 94 (Approximately)
Today I was told that we would be holidaying in Goa in May. Dont ask me why! I'm only paying for the trip.
Our trip to Leh has been cancelled. We figured it wouldn't be wise to be travelling over such a terrain at such an altitude. So Goa it is.
Though Goa was not my top 10 places to go in May, it is convinient. Good air connectivity, and we know the place well.
This would be one holiday for a long long time to come. Once the baby comes, it would be impossible for the wifey to be about for atleast 18 months.After that, it wont be the same....and I mean it all in a good way.
But this is a gorgeous phase. I cannot wait for the next ultrasound appointment, when the fetus will be more developed, with some features in place. Till now, all i could see was this unshapely mass with a beating heart. But what a heart.
I suddenly realised, that this is going to be the most important project of our lives. The decisions we make, will not only affect us, but would shape a new life. Each step will be measured, unnecessary expenses curtailed, and suddenly everything will be for the 'long term'.
I cant wait for my long term to start :)
