An important turning point

Some time back, I had written that life is too continuous with no Knee jerk reactions and it almost seems that the whole life has been lived in the present.

Every day I have realized the truth of the statement and sincerely today I don’t remember as to how did I live through the day before Preeti was in my life and more interestingly, I find it difficult to recall the days from the one year which Preeti and I had spent together before Kanav was born. It seems like my whole life till date has revolved around Kanav.

Today, 5th October 2011, I think the day has again come to wash over the memories of the past three years which Kanav, myself and Preeti and write a fresh new present. While I write this, Preeti is preparing herself to go under the Knife (without even a speck of tension) to bring a new life into this world.

I am surely going to look back after another 3 years and would find it really hard to remember as to how life was when Kanav was alone. J God has been really Great to bless me with such a lovely family.

For the past few days Preeti’s real worries have been regarding Kanav. While Kanav is currently quiet a naughty kid and is miles away from the “adult logic” phase, controlling him at times is beyond anyone. But the real issue which Preeti is concerned about is how Kanav will spend his time over the next week as he is not used to even sleep without preeti. Every time Kanav has to sleep, Preeti has to lie down along with him. As soon Preeti is out of the Bed, Kanav can be expected to be out within 10 minutes automatically until and unless I am sleeping beside him.

But I very sincerely believe that Kanav is a very sensitive, sensible and intelligent kid who keeps on improving at the pace of light daily. I remember that a few weeks back, Preeti had an awful toothache and was taking combiflam which induced her to sleep. Unfortunately none of our Parents were with us that time. Amazingly Kanav realized the situation and not even once troubled Preeti throughout the day and neither did he try to make an escape to the park outside when Preeti was asleep. Kanav has been a revelation for us daily and the pleasure he gives us is similar to what a scientist must experience when he discovers something unique to share with the world.

I am sure Kanav unknowingly will rise up Preeti’s unspelt challenge and go beyond our expectations as always.
