It is a tested fact in life that when you are going through a new phase then you feel the same is happening to the whole world. So it was pretty obvious that when we were having a baby, we thought the whole world was having one as well. Or maybe it was that time that we noticed that loads of others were making babies too....
While there were many on the baby bandwagon already, it seemed the whole lot of Mohit's friends were delivering babies in 2010. Almost all of those married for sometime had a baby in this year and after counting one or two couples here and there everyone had a baby now. 2010 saw seven babies besides Navya happening in the friend circle and two in the family which makes one wonder if it truly was the year of the babies.
Babies, babies everywhere and many to-be-parents. All of a sudden, we had all become from the usual culprits in the drinking crime to parents discussing breastfeeding and nappy changing. The sweety-pie messages declaring the birth of the babies to long phone conversations, every little thing pointed to the arrival of a little one in someone's life.
Now I stood and took notice every time I heard the wail of little babies. The world had changed around us. So maybe it wasn't hallucination that everyone seemed to be in the same activity as us. The reality of the babies coming into our lives was true. There was hope, love and warmth in our life now. All brought upon by the birth of a little baby made entirely out of our tissues and cells and love and heart. So many of us had leapt upon the newer and better things in life. Graduation year for many of us. Cheers to 2010- the year that was for the babies...
