India will have to wait, because a little someone had some other plans in mind. In all his wiggling, crying glory, my offspring has made his appearance in this world. My wife and I were blessed with a beautiful boy with a mind and schedule of his own. Parenthood is here, and I am thrilled, excited, and awed. I'll probably be off the radar for a while, or maybe you'll just see some posts on my new experiences in parenting. Who knows?
Here's introducing Aarush Parth Pandya; whose name means the 'First Ray of the Sun' (you can see the optimism of the parents reflected here: may he sleep until dawn). Both mother and son are doing fine, and father, well, he is surviving too :-) The blogger has turned father, and requests the blessings of his readers for his son and patience while he adjusts to his new role. In retrospect, there was one post left for 2008 after all. As it turns out, it was the most important one of them all!

Hey Parth, Many congratulations."Aarush" is a lovely name,in fact my husband and I had chosen this name if we had a son :). I am really excited for you and I am telling you by experience that nothing could make evolve more than learning by parenting. And the sleepless nights will not get better for a while but you will get used to it, I promise you :). My baby, Mahika just turned 6 months, oh so wonderful a time it is. Against my liking, at the moment I am taking aid of a cliche " Enjoy each moment of being a new parent" Many Many congratulations to you and your wife.
@Praxis: Thanks for the wishes. I totally agree with the learning with parenting. It has been three weeks and so much has changed for us. I am optimistic about the sleepless nights, but the results aren't out yet :-)
Congratulations!!
Post some pics of lil Aarush :-)
