3rd of April 2005

It is yet another normal day, we get up at our own pace at around 7 in the morning, and get ready for the day. Pradeep is looking forward to the day, and must admit he looks slightly anxious. Vidya is all set... and is concentrating more on what she can eat for lunch, as she would not be able to eat things like potato etc for the next couple of months. Vidya's dad and Pradeep go to the hospital to check for the availability of rooms. We are interested in Room number 5 or 16... but alas... they are already occupied and they are both not getting discharged before tomorrow.

The other room, room number 25 is not bad, but with the number of friends and family that we have... its going to be tough. The room in any case is the least of our worries. In the afternoon we get admitted and Vidya is moved to Room Number 25. The nurses do the routine check up and stuff and by evening we have a barrage of people coming in to wish us all the best. It was good fun... kept our minds off worrying about tomorrow. The star of the day was the little one - Kavya. She kept everyone so entertained, and also made lots of attempts to make conversation. Makes one wonder that she would definitely take after her mother and athai for talking so much.

Pradeep leaves Vidya and her mom in peace, and ready to come back the next morning.

The night is pretty looooooong. Sleep? now what is that? Tonight, we have been in Insomnia Land. The next morning is not going to be very easy... its Appa's Shraardham which needs to be done 'Hiranyam'. The sleepless night... see you tomorrow morning.
