A New Life

You have heard of Guantanamo, you have heard of Abu Ghraib. I’ll share with you, my experience more sinister than these.
Incarcerated in a shaking dark chamber, where one could barely wriggle; I was made to survive for months on just fluids.
A tube was thrust inside my body and they gave me, what they wanted, just through it. I kicked, I punched and then I just waited helplessly.
Finally, today I got free; I got born.

Continuing with the set tradition on this blog, this is a 77-Fiction on the occasion of my 77th post. No prizes for guessing, what possibly it can be dedicated to!

Presenting to you my lovely niece Nirbhita, who joined us today at 1538 hours.


I was the first amongst the impatiently waiting people to hear her first cries as she got free from her Guantanamo.
And the best part is that, today happens to be my sister aka her mother's birthday too.
So, Happy birthday Neha and Nirbhita :)

    ReplyDelete
  29. Nope, I don't have a blog. Maybe I will someday. Can't we have some more pics of the cutest baby in the whole world? Pretty please?

    ReplyDelete
  30. Hey thanks Vishnu.. I'll ask Bharathi about tht othr meaning straightaway :)
    nd Nirbhita means Fearless!

    Thnx Neeraj.. Happy B'day in tht case ;)

    ReplyDelete
  31. Yeah sure Ramit, will be uploading thm soon on Fb.. will leave a link here..
    nd yeah its interesting 2 find a non-blogging blogs follower. This is a very rare specie you see ;)

    Hey Bharathi mamu, what is this other meaning, Vishnu is telking about??

    ReplyDelete
  32. @ Shruti: wasnt I right.

    @ Vishnu and Vipul: Dont listen to Vishnu. he is a dirty guy. I want to teach you all the good words and it seems he will not let me do that(jus kidding).

    The other dirty meaning for Mama is pimp. And for some reasons, they call police as Mama too.

    Better you call Vishnu as mama too so that he woudnt remind you of all these dirty meanings.

    ReplyDelete
  33. And now it seems your announcements worked and you got over thirty comments. Please share your medication with me too as I got only 14 for my latest post.

    ReplyDelete
  34. lol.. well here too the traffic policeman is called mama :)
    And yeah, it seems maternal uncles have a bad name down there.. lol

    About my ailment, well, as i said 2 shankar, go get diagnosed soon.. ACDS kills ;)

    ReplyDelete
  35. @vipul.. there u hav it.. ur mama gave the perfect explanantion.. lol..

    @bharathi.. wen u r learning a new language from friends.. the first thing they will teach u are the non-parliamentary words..

    ReplyDelete
  36. Great news!! congrats!!! now you have someone to play with :) Have fun!

    ReplyDelete
  37. Yup Vishnu, u r right tht d frst things to know wn learning a new language are the swear words :)

    Hey thnx Ashwini.. Indeed a small doll to play with :)

    ReplyDelete
  38. Congratz mate ! Happy welcome to the new bundle of joy in your family !

    Having said it, I would strongly disapprove your comparison of womb with Guantanamo.

    ReplyDelete
  39. Thnx LR :)
    About the guantanamo-womb comparison, I hd been waiting 4 sum1 2 raise this point.. I agree with u tht both can not b compared bt this was jus my interpretation of a newly born's perspective..
    It can also hav othr counter interpretations as well :)

  43. Congratulations on becoming a mama.. and celebrations! Lovely pics... thanks for sharing...

    But referring to a mother's womb as more sinister than Guantanamo and Abu Ghraib (?!!)... I ask you!

    P.S. Wish you a very happy, safe and prosperous Deepavali/Kali Puja... !!! May the festival of lights bring lots of happiness and colour into your life and a New Year blessed with prosperity!
