The twinkle in your eyes,
The sparkle on your lips,
The glory of your face,
The mischief in your smile,
The music of your cries,
Makes me wonder,
What would I be without you,
Oh! My marvel boy!
In the last eight and a half months life has undergone a tremendous change. I was a Wife until June 12, 2010 and then suddenly the next day my status climbed the zenith of Womanhood as I became a Mother. Ever since I was blessed with MotherHood, I have been greatly enjoying little Aadhrit’s company so much so that I now wonder what would my life be without him? My baby has become an integral part of my life and it now is hard to imagine my dream-world without him. My life revolves around him and he not only occupies the centre stage in the play but is also the pivotal character around which, the whole story has been woven by the Almighty!
I feel like a petite child celebrating the moment after winning the street championship, each time I gaze at my Wonder Boy. Every second of his company only galvanizes me more than the by gone. Watching him cry, laugh, smile, play, crawl, walk, talk, express his feelings (especially anger), bite at every other object et al is a real treat to the eyes. As a parent one can’t truly ask for more!
These days, watching my kid grow up seems to be the bestest part of parenthood. Playing with my delicate darling inundates my heart with joy and affection, and at times I don’t wish to take my eyes off his naughtiness. I can spend hours together singing him lullabys, caressing him, feeding him and putting him off to peaceful sleep sealed with a kiss.
Besides, I love to spot and point out the changes in his behavior and activities to my husband and then analyze the same with him (hubby dear) to draw at my own silly conclusions. I can’t stop boasting about the thrilling day to his sleepy father, who apparently at the midnight hour prefers sleep yet lends a patient ear to hear about his beloved son’s achieved milestones.
It amazes me to observe how Naveed (Aadhrit’s nick name) struggles to reach his target destination and grab his prey. It is pertinent to mention here that his watchful eyes always comprise cell phones and television remote that have already witnessed the impact of his glorious chewing – Mechanical Malfunctioning! His happy-go-lucky and go-getter attitude steals my heart away over and over again. In my joys and ecstasy I however, can’t seem to thank The Lord enough for giving me what it takes to complete a WOMAN!
And the odyssey so far has been adventurous, exciting, blissful, momentous, exhilarating, frantic and above all motherly!!!

MotherHood : an eternal bliss!
Skepticism overshadowed all my emotions from the time I conceived till I delivered. Thinking about the life blooming within me got me high each time with a new vigour, yet planning the future with it send chills down my spine. Confusion, immaturity, inexperience (or which ever word suits best) got the better of me and I locked myself in the fantasy world throwing the keys to the real one far away.
As the days neared the butterflies got worse and strangely at the same time sentiment of holding my own baby in my arms send me on a ride to cloud nine. I was going to be a mother in the real sense, in a matter of few days. Unbelievable as it sounded, it made me go crazy with joy and fear.
Anticipations of a first time Mother-to-be are hard to define therefore certain emotions are way beyond human reach to be penned down (and I am no exception). I can’t exactly classify my roller coaster ride of emotions during that period but can only say that it has been “Momentous.” Feeling the baby kick, move, give me sleepless nights was fun and simultaneously I began to prepare myself for the D-Day, the real challenges and the life after.
Invariably on June 13, 2010 my little bundle of joy arrived with much pomp and show and a testimony to the fact is the BIG smile that he spread on everyone’s face! Although I was the last to see him yet his first glimpse and first touch felt like a blessing in disguise. I don’t think I have ever felt as contented, sanctified and proud as that moment. As the realization of MotherHood slowly dawned on me, I silently took the opportunity to thank The Almighty for giving me the chance to experience the world’s greatest joy. I was blessed with a son and thought that God had been more than just kind to count me amongst his Chosen Few.
