As part of becoming a father, there are some anniversaries I have to keep in mind. While I have forgotten most, here are the ones I remember.
In this post, the dates have been changed so that nobody lands up in court after our kid becomes famous and claims to be his/her mother!
DD1/MM1/YY – First time we knew Rekha was pregnant.
DD2/MM1/YY – First time we went to the medical lab for our child
DD3/MM1/YY – First time we visited the gynecologist
DD4/MM2/YY – First time we had the ultra sound scan
DD5/MM2/YY – First time the three of us went to a movie
DD6/MM2/YY – First time the three of us went to a drive-in theatre
DD7/MM3/YY – First time the three of us traveled in a train
DD8/MM3/YY – First time the three of us visited Madurai
DD9/MM4/YY – First time the three of us went for a walk
DD10/MM4/YY – First time the three of us had ice-cream from a single cone
DD11/MM4/YY – First time we slept under the sky
DD12/MM5/YY – First time the three of us went to a marriage
DD13/MM5/YY – First time we went to ECR at 12 midnight
DD14/MM5/YY – First time we felt the baby kick from inside the stomach
Like how Kingfisher is the King of Good times, I now call Rekha the Queen of first times. For everything there is a ‘first time`. So much so, the other day I called Rekha “beti” (in Hindi that means daughter) she relied:
“This is the first time you are calling me a beti, after I became pregnant.”
“Cool. Isn`t it?” When your wife is pregnant you have to act excited so that she is always in high spirits.
Just in case you haven`t already received Rekha`s mail which was dispatched to 5,439,87,902 friends all over the World, 13th of November shall hence forth be known as the day our baby first kicked Rekha in the stomach. Needless to say, Rekha is pretty kicked!

Jammy,how does Rekha take your comments?Does she run her own blog where she writes about you?!!!!
Jammy, how could you forget the anniversary of the first time your kid wetted your dress generously?
Hi,
I am weak in Maths and could not understand your date funda. I don’t know how excited you are. But I was never excited when I was born, in fact I did not celebrate my own birthday in initial few years, thereafter nobody cared, and I saved my money. The scene of a child holding a knife to CUT cake always scares me.
In case you plan to invite all your blog visitors to your party after few months, or send food packets through mail to the absentees, let me clarify my menu should not have Cakes & Chocolates.

can u plz go a few months bck and explained wat happened actually ?? it would b gr8
Jesus. Its hilarious. You are a hit in my office I say!
wrongone: thanks buddy! What surprises me though is that you have been through this…and still want me to enjoy!
Mehak: Does being “a rocking dad” mean I will have to spend most of my time rocking our baby’s cradle? But seriously…thanks for the compliment. My father was a great kids person..am I will just be following in his foot steps.
kausik: I got scolded for driving crazily before she got pregnant, after she got pregnant and I am sure i will cntinue to get scolded after we get into the family way for the third time as well. Regarding the hunt for manga (which in English means Mango), gone are those days when wives depended on their husbands for such small pleasures. Now-a-days they just go out and buy them. Good riddance.
Uma: Rocking child? Well…i pray he is only half as naughty as I was…else we are in for trouble.
Nina: We did have a preliminary scan and twins have been ruled out. I would have loved to have them, though Rekha tells me that they are double the trouble for the mother.
Rekha and I have been contemplating a diary for the last 2-3 months…yet to start.
And hey…I need a son. Rekha is pitching for a girl child so that she can dress her up. Apparently, a girl child has more dressing options…
Kount: thanks kounts….whatever the smiley meant, i am sure it meant good.
Rajesh: of course buddy…she reads up all the comments. As of now she doesn’t owna blog where she writes about me…but the day isn’t very far.
Arun: Ohh…no…our kid is yet to start wetting our clothes. he is yet to be born you see…
Sunny: Long time huh? I can understand your weakness in math. I have the same kind of weakness with ladies.
Like you, I also wasn’t excited when I was born. IN fcat, I was so bored that i slept through the naming ceremony.
Agree with you…no Cakes & Chocolates for the virtual birthday party I am planning. But what do you suggest for the menu? Icons and hyperlinks?
srikanth k iyer: Do you actually what to now what actually happened which lead to the pregnancy? ha ha ha…
Aishwarya Rao: Thanks buddy…
It is ironical that I am a hit in your office and a mis-fit in mine!
