what a joy this is!

Can somebody categorize tears? they should get the sample of my cry today along with our first baby....God has been amazingly gracious upon me...what a delight this is been!
Thank you God for this miracle....
A week ago I had a dream (for me, dream is quite unusual...such a sound sleep I enjoy, ask Reena!)..in dream I saw a cute little girl as our daughter....and wow..the dream has turned into wonderful reality....Reena delivered our first child - daughter....and she is the one who came into my dream! God values our dream too!

Just couple of days ago, while we went to scan the baby..we learned she was around 2.5kg...and today..wow, she is 2.9kg and extremely active! She resembles me a lot :)
Reena - has given me the most precious gift.....I know God has been extra kind to us...
thanks again!

lots of feelings yet.. to cover that little wonder!

holland happening!

July 24, 2009

Its early morning here in Leimuiden (south of Holland). Sleep has gone out of bed and head….so filling the time with some words that express my experience of The Netherlands.

Huh! It seems I have forgotten to write anymore because suddenly thoughts stopped and so are my fingers…..so I got to wait!

Yes here they are……

Ans Van Egmund – an awesome aunty (should I dare to write better than an Indian mother!) This aunty is giving us bed and breakfast here during our stay. She is very kind and joyful… that’s the reason – she is 81 and yet full of energy and enthusiasm. I have been telling Jigar (my friend here with me) that here people lives the life at fullest..,, and aunty is that example. She has 3 children some grand children and some great grand children…she has a daughter too of age more than 50..she is single….(I don’t know why am I mentioning – may be I am Indian that is why. Here people don’t care if someone prefers to be single and in my office here there are many who lives single) I tend to think here a popular verse of Bible here (manas eklo rahe te saru nathi)….hey… do this people know it? No, I don’t think so….. People here do not care what you believe in and rather ironically what do they believe in. I had been to church here last Sunday and it was full of old age people – and I am pretty sure (exceptions are always there, but they don’t make rule!) they were here to see and meet people – I think they spent more time in coffee then actual service - most of the old age people are living alone here as their children have their own family life to take care [Putting in Indian culture style – children abandon their parents after marriage!  ] ok catch u later… I have some naps 

July 25, 2009

Its lazy Saturday – plenty of work and yet feel to go out in the sun – its sunny day and as they predicated nice weather this weekends. May be we can make it tomorrow… but still I miss my sweet home and my lovely wife, oh can we pull the days if somebody can push the sun from there…. Revolution of the earth is sometime crushing, being slow!

We were on the beach…. Where it was written ‘Life is a beach”, at least these people practice what they speak! Everyone was enjoying each piece of sand, each ray of sun and of course each drop of the sea…oh it was awesome, I was in that water – for more than an hour, it was fantastic.
Suddenly I heard someone singing in me – jise bhi dekhiye wo apne aapme gum hai, juba mili hai magar hum juba nahi milta… yes everyone was so lost, with their selves – that they think are the only people on this earth – unlike India – jise bhi dekhiye wo kisi dusre me gum he, juba mili hai magar humjuba nahi milta (I know you dint get it.. leave it!)

Then we had ice-cream I accidentally had the flavor with some alcohol I believe… may be they knew I was in chilled water for a while… Well, I forgot to mention that I missed the bungee jumping experience – it was right there... all were set except my might and mind! But that is what is needed.. God I wish I can make it next time... Please!
Hey let me get you out from Microsoft and hand over to Google now! (Pasting into my blog yaar! from MSWord)
