It has been a long time since I wrote on my blog. In fact, this line has become a cliched starting line for some of my recent posts. Well, the lack of any writing hasn't been due to less happenings in the recent past but due to lack of interest on the part of the writer. Talk of happenings and never has so much happened for me/us in the last six months than any other time.
If I compare the last year, same time to this year, same time, then things are so different. We were holidaying in London last year and trying to cheer India's sinking cricket ship in the WC20-20. This year, I'm just commenting on how good people's holiday pics look on FB. Last year, I was trying to lose weight and look good. This year, I'm bothered I'm not gaining enough weight. (Yeah, I have actually asked my doc that)
Same time, last year, I was happily spending money and wanting to spend more while this year, Mohit and I sit every night discussing investment and saving plans, something we've never done before. If last year was all about the couple that wanted to have fun, travel and generally give a damn. This year is all about being a family.
We've already had one addition to the family in the form of Ishaan, Prerna Didi and Jiyaji's first born. And now we're awaiting the second addition to the Bansal clan. Yes, for all those who are dull and still haven't understood, Mohit and I will be parents soon. We're expecting our first child and are thoroughly excited about it. From disbelieving friends to a happy MIL to a never-seen-before smile on Mohit's face, the mum-to-be is seeing it all. Of course, the nausea, the cramps, the baby ponch and the back pains are all there. But so is the thrill that came from that first kick on 20th May. Such are the changes in this year.
If 2009 was exciting and daring but full of a few let-downs, 2010 seems promising and will hopefully see brighter days. And if the sudden spurt in the baby kicks is any signal, then that's an 'Amen' from his/her side to that.
