Bundle of Joy!!!



Time : 5:30 pm
Day : Lazy Sunday evening
Venue: Barista, Bandstand

We three beauties (i.e Kitten, Anu & myself) were cribbing about not been served Iced tea while the rest customers were happily sipping the same. Suddenly Kitten's RDB ring tone brings our "major-problem-of-life" to a halt. GOOD NEWS!!!! Pushpa(an ex- Amrapalian & a very close friend of ours) has delivered a baby - Boy. All of a sudden we get into action....... hospital chalna hai kya? abhi nahi yaar... let her rest...... Let's go on the weekend...... Suddenly the whole ambience is changed & the iced tea is forgotten. We even smile back to the Waiter( dont feel like calling him so as he is quite cute!) who denied us our heavenly drink.
Scene change.... We are viewing the magnificant sunset at bandstand...........and something special crosses my mind i remember my very own bundle of joy i.e Joyee ,my nephew. Everyone who is reading my blog must be very much aware of this guy. Well, Sameer & Vaishali are one of the closest & most wonderful people in my life. Much closer than some of my blood relations. Their creation is Joyee or Siddhit. To write about them will take another blog so let me just stick to Joyee. For me kids are not somebody who will ever make my heart melt. "Koochie - Kooing" was never my cup of tea. When i came to know about Joyee, I was very happy for Sam & Vaishali.Very very happy infact. I was quite untouched apart from that. But the first sight of Joyee was something which i would never forget. I was not exactly mushy- gushy or maybe I was trying to deny expressing myself. Such a perfect miracle!! Suddenly i found myself doing the same things which i would always feel funny. "Hey he looks like Sam & little bit of you , Vaishali" "Aankhen bilkul Vaishali jaisi"......... Earlier I used to think that all new borns looked the same. Same crinkled , red face... what's so great about it? and how can people tell which feature resembles whom....... But well, even i could recognize now :) Shaayad mujhe bhi ek divya drishti mil gayee thi. That two days in the hospital, with Joyee & Vaishali changed my whole idea of being in love. I realised that it holds more finer feelings than just about two people. Watching Vaishali with her baby reflected true love, watching Sam taking care of Joyee was true love & seeing both of them become kids themselves for their own was true love. & myself being called an "Atya" was well, true love.
In times of distress i always go through Joyee's fotos & feel rejuvenated & myself again. So much to be distressed about but one such gift makes one feel blessed. Nobody's seen God but these little bundles of joy are God's gift of hope, love & happiness for all of us.
