This one is from my birthday this year, my first birthday as a parent. The birthday I held our presents, our present and future in my arms, one after the other of course. Throughout my pregnancy - no wait, it sounds like it was a long period - the three months of my pregnancy that I was in our usual ecosystem, almost everyone who saw me said the same thing - you're glowing, for sure you're gonna have two girls. Yes people were telling me what I wanted to hear, for I wanted two girls. Not that I didnt want boys, but after thirteen years of having an overload of Y Chromosomes around me, I preferred to have a change.
On the night of the 16th of December, when our paediatrician announced twin 1 and twin 2 as boys, I never felt I had carried a preference all along, for that moment was bliss. Today, I have no complaints. But yet, the thought of two identical girls...
This picture is from the day I saw how it felt, or rather how it looked to have two girls. Prem and I had thought of Hasini and Yazhini. The day they grow up and see this, I'm going to be burnt by their looks.
Avyukth : So arent you gonna tell them which one of us Hasini is and which one of us is Yazhini? I'm sure you cant, for the back of my head is hidden well.
Akshath : honestly woman, cant you tell us apart in frocks too?
Thank you for a wonderful birthday and many more to come. I look forward to starting our life as a family soon, in a new place, a new home... no wait a minute, in a men's hostel.
Cheers,
Hopie
NB. I have the names of everyone of you who said it would be two girls. If not already, I'm coming for you.
