It was to happen... My life changed... Changed drastically... I had heard from elders, friends, colleagues and also read about, how life changes post the arrival of a new member in your life... and i always thought how could it be possible... how could one new member change your life... but it did.

I m happy my life has changed... changed for good.

I can still remember the feeling of completeness the moment i first time saw my son... He was so beautiful... he was Pink colored... a Pink which u cannot produce in any factory... a Pink which i had never seen before... he was so delicate... so peaceful... so lost in himself... I was scared to take him in my hands, but... his magical eyes made me take him in my arms... and i cried... Tears oh Happiness... Tears of Satisfaction... I understood the true meaning of these terms at that moment.

I was so immensely proud... I said..."I m your father my son, you are looking at a very proud man today..." and elders standing around me started laughing... they said the baby cant see for the first day at-least... and i knew instantly how naive elders are... They wont realize the sparkle that i saw in my son's eyes when i was speaking with him... They wont realize the kicking of his legs the moment i spoke with him... They wont realize the flickering of his eyelids the moment i spoke with him... No they will not realize it... Only a father will understand those special moments.

Then before i could realize, every one was jumping on each other to hold him... everyone wanted a part of him... everyone wanted to click a pic with him... as if he was one of the biggest celebrity... But he was... He was a celebrity that day... That day belonged to him... It was his day.

Now i was waiting to see her... who had given me the biggest gift of my life...

I was getting anxious by the moment... I had heard about the unbearable pain that she would have to go through... The pain, for men unbearable but for a woman... the most beautiful pain of her life... Man can never understand the pain of giving life... its a special & very precious gift to a woman by God.

After agonizingly waiting for an hour... there she was in front on me... on a stretcher... her eyes searching for her baby... our baby... Then she saw me... Her eyes spoke a thousand words that very moment... I could see pure happiness in those eyes... Pure satisfaction... Pure containment... Every emotions that could describe Happiness... could be seen in those beautiful eyes.

I went and took her hand in my hands... That was it... As if we both were holding back to cry with each other... The tears we shared that day brought us even closer then ever before.

Then everyone started gathering around her... congratulating her and touching her and feeling her... For me... those couple of minutes with her... will remain with me forever.

This was the first day of my new life... a life which had changed permanently... for the Best.
