Welcoming Pari to this world on December 30th, 2015

It was December 30th, 2015. A new year was waiting to welcome my beautiful niece!
My Didi was admitted to Ankur Clinic in Jammu. She was taken inside the operation theater for caesarean section. We stood outside praying to God for a successful 'case' as they call it. I was there with mummy, papa, jiju's mummy, his sister and his brother-in-law. Jiju wasn't able to join us due to his job duties in merchant navy and Bhaiya was in Pune for his job. Both of them were however in constant touch with us through mobile phones.

After waiting for around 15-20 minutes, we heard the angelic voice of a baby crying from inside the theater. The nurse peeped out through the door with happiness to inform us about the birth of a baby girl.

We all jumped out in joy. We all wanted a girl. I became maamu of an angel. Jiju and bhaiya were informed immediately sending waves of happiness to as far as Dubai and Pune. :) It was first of kind experience for me to stand witness to the birth of a baby. Jiju's brother-in-law was the first from our family to go inside and have a look at the beautiful girl. He brought her out of the theater and we all could have a look at her. The sight of the newborn mas mesmerizing. I held her in my arms and was very happy to feel her. There was a sense of fear that I don't harm her as I had never held any newborn earlier. So I gave her back to others with experience soon.

I was constantly worried for my sister in there. This was the 2nd caeserean section for her, first one for my handsome nephew Jaskirat Singh who is going to celebrate his second birthday on coming January 15th, 2016.

Mummy and auntyji took the baby to the room on first floor while we waited for successful conclusion of the case. After waiting for another half an hour, the sisters brought my didi out of the theater on a stretcher. She was partially unconscious at that time. Doctors and nurses confirmed successful completion of the entire task. We were all happy and relieved.

Later when everything settled down. every important person informed regarding the birth of baby girl, Manvi who was also born on December 30th, came with massiji and masadji along with a cake to celebrate the birth of 'younger Manvi' or 'Pari' as they all started calling her.
