Well....the most exciting moment for me last week was when I heard that Baby Frio Kumar was here!!!! Yes, the name sounds funny for an American but that was what we called him until now....infact still now!!!! Ever since Jay (my supervisor at ECSS) and Kathy came to know that they were expecting a baby boy the tussle to choose a reference name started. The fact that Jay is mostly surrounded by Indians (many....if not all) at workplace might have motivated him to refer to his would be son as Frio Kumar!!!!! The name is sweet as its a mixture of east and west and because its a name for a baby!!!! Ever since I was a kid I was very fond of new born babies, it has always been a wish to go and see the baby very first day and take him/her in my arms!!!! Phew....I still remember when my brother was born in 92, I wanted to see him so much that I had to give a DAIRY MILK (as a bribe) to the nurse to get into the nursery! However, here its becomes rather very difficult as many people don't like strangers or even the people they know to take their kids in arms....Thanks to Jay and Kathy that let me take Frio Kumar into my arms when I went to see him. Ever since I have been to US, Frio was the first kid I held in my arms and the feeling of happiness was beyond explanation!
A funny thing happened when I heard Baby Frio's news....I came to know in the evening that Baby Frio will be here sometime soon and I called Jay to ask, that what is the news. In my excitement I missed the part where Jay said that he was already there and I asked him, " So do you think, he'll be here pretty soon" and Jay had to repeat saying that he is already here :)..and despite of the repetition I didn't realize in all the happiness that, that was the first thing he told in the conversation!!!!
Just to mention that....whenever I see some lady holding her kid all I can think of is that it is the purest form of love and affection that GOD has made on earth! Its just amazing that how a new life can take all the attention and care that he/she needs without saying a word!!!!
I miss home a lot as far as kids are concerned....all my life back home there hasn't been a single day when we didn't have someone's kid (whether it be a family friend or even neighbours' kid) come and play in our house....I miss the days when I use to take care of the kids and play with them....give them food or just watch them sleep!!!!
On a closing note....in 2 years of my stay in US I have not been happier than the moment when Baby Frio Kumar (named as ELLIOT) was in my arms and Jay clicked that lovely pic of his which you see in the BLOG! Wish you both (Kathy and Frio) a very very Happy Birthday!!!! ( The 12th August, 2007)
