We have a new Baby

I and Savithri were blessed with a baby girl who was born at 1:28 PM (Indian Standard Time) on the 14th of September 2006. I mailed, SMS'd or called almost all of you, who read this blog regularly and have received your best wishes and blessings. My elder one is a son called Aditya, born on 29th January 1997. This baby daughter occured 9 years and 9 months after Aditya. We pondered hard about giving Aditya a sibling. Possibly we pondered too long. But all is well that ends well. Since the baby daughter is a gift/tribute to Aditya, who has been a great son, and since Aditya means Sun in Sanskrit, and since the Gayatri Mantra is a tribute to the Sun God, I think it would be apt to name the baby daughter Gayatri. I havent decided yet and would seek all your comments on this. The delivery was by cesearian section since there were some complications. Mother and daughter are fine and recovering from the ordeal called "The Birth" in hospital. Savithri as you know works for the Ministry of Defence at Delhi. Since this will keep me busy for some time now, I may not be able to proceed further in the blog for a week atleast. I will post pics of the baby daughter in my next post. Till then keep blessing the child and pray for us.

Thanks guys!
