Unsung lullaby - Episode 1

Its amazing how all of us are madly in love without expecting nothing in return, with this little thing that cries, feeds, poops and sleeps all day long.

Baby's day out!

I am in Manipal hospital on the 11th floor in a suite with my absolutely beautiful niece all bundled up in soft blue quilt blissfully sleeping and her mother beside her. Yesterday after causing quite a frenzy my sister delivered this bundle of joy at 22:07 hrs. There were few complications during labour and my mom and myself and chechi were standing and praying hard in the outside corridors. We broke into tears when my brother-in-law rushed out of the delivery room bursting with the happy news. 'Its a gal', and he literally choked on his own words.. and then the nurses got the baby outside. The baby was so pink and so ga-ga-goo-goo. I've no idea what exactly it means.. but thats the word that comes to my mind. Our langugage has taken quite a turn. We've all resorted to baby talk, and all sorts of cooing noises and funny all of us can exactly understand what the other person means.. should do it more often I feel, very meditative.

There is going to be a series of this post as and when I can find time to write in. Quite delighted to be an aunt, I say!

Oh! she just had her first poop!

Earthsync Festival

Two buddhist monks, two percussionists from Israel, a violnist, a sitar player, a flautist, three sufi singers, puli vesham, two makudam players, a french base guitarist, two vocalists, two contemporary dancers..

Sometimes its hard to pen down words when it can only be felt. With the concert in another three days, rehersal days, cozy evenings, nothing can be more pleasing. To top it, in another ten odd days, I'm going to become an aunt!

I think I'll leave it at that. I have too much music in my head right now to search through vocabulary.
