What DO you call her?
So, it's official now.





The naming itself was fantastic for me, I got to do the 'whisper in her ear' thing with the Beetel leaf. Everyone was complaining that they didn't hear what I said. That was why I whispered!


Banker thatha threatened to call her Adithi, and was firmly wrestled to submission by both parents... Or was it only me. Banker thatha wanted to feed his baby first, and this big baby, being what she was, kicked up a fuss and pulled a face and refused, must be the lack of a spoon.

Adhiaa went absolutely quiet after screaming her head off during the entire ceremony. She made an appearance afterwards and spent some time socialising. I wonder if we will ever find the switches?
Aarti's dad has been transferred to Madras now. He now spends nights at my parents' place and walks over to our flat for meals. My dad is constantly out of town following his wife and paying her electricity bills in Delhi! I am not kidding. My mom and dad are right now in Bangalore, dad supposedly on work and mom definitely on work. Aarti's mom is with us. It's like a formula one pitstop lap. I'll let you know when it all shakes down.


Adhiaa and I passed a new milestone of familiarity on Sunday. She threw up on me! She proved to me I can handle "output", although I admit my reaction was a tad dramatic. I am absolutely certain I can hear cheering on the sidelines.
Adhiaa is slowly settling down to a routine, but I'm still using her as an excuse to be late at work, wasn't 'Hadhia', Arabic for "guide to righteousness"! Hmmm...
