A New life

It’s a baby boy. Wow…How’s the mommy doing, is she alright. Let’s go and see both Mom and the Kid. Here he is finally…after being in his mom’s womb for 10 months. She has undergone several months of pain, endurance, anxiety and a whole lot of emotions. And finally she was really scared. Truly God and the Doctor were great. She endured great agony, anguish and battled for hours, screamed, shouted, writhed and finally delivered. I went in and saw both of them. He was so small and tiny. I was really nervous to hold him. And then when she was moved to the ward, he was all wrapped up. He had to be as he was in a cocoon for the last 10 months. And he had to be sheathed and not exposed to the external environment so soon. All he had to do was to drink milk and sleep. Wow…babies…they are all so cute, cuddly and wonderful. Aren’t they all. Why would anyone disagree with me. In different shapes, sizes and colors, yet one thing stands in unison…they are one of the most fascinating creation of God, be it humans or animals. You can just look at them…and they will cast away all your worries. Because they don’t have any and they don’t expect anything from anyone. You rediscover the cycle of life through them. You give birth to a life so that you can see your life unfold right in front of you. You are what you are but you are also what you are because of your parents and your child will be, if you let him what he wants to be…but you just need to guide him and show him what’s right and what’s wrong. It’s all and individual’s perception, yet, some basic principles can never be questioned. Suddenly on the one side you feel light, as you feel delivered and on another, weighed down by the thought that you are responsible for your actions. An action that has just been delivered. You cannot shy away from it. It’s your own creation. To make it a beautiful piece of artefact, you need to nurture, spend time, give lots of love, care, affection, attention and tell that hey my lovely child…discover life…not just live a life. Be passionate about what you do, whatever you do, excite, energize and exude ardent desire to realize what you intend to achieve. A new dawn has begun…both for us and also for our little son…it seems as if the journey of life has just started…
