Happy BirthDay Aman

Hi Aman,

Since this day last year, our lives have all changed. You have been our centrifugal force.

It was on this very day one year back more or less at the same time of the day 3:30 am that I first saw you. It was a cold nite in Bangalore and you were all shivering and all curled up trying to make yourself warm then. With your fingers tightly clutched and your eyes closed, you were in your grannies hand, your dad and your only uncle(ME) were standing around you admiring you and unable to take our eyes off you.

You didn't disappoint us a bit from the word go. You opened your tiny little eyes and gave us the view of your sparkling little eyes. Our joy knew no bound. All excited we looked at each other trying to come to terms that this was not a dream. But reality. Our much awaited little one in the family had finally arrived.

And today when I sit to blog, and when today I see you rite infront of my eyes as I blog I still feel its a dream. I feel I am blessed to be with you on this day as you turn one :)

I love seeing you sway with the wind as you learn to walk steady on your own feet, the sight of you dancing when you watch your favorite cartoon, the way you come and wake me up every mornings, the way you take me for those long walks everyday and the way you make me do the most stupid of things, and especially the way you call me "Oyeee" in the pitch of yours when I ignore you. I simply love it.

You ve helped me shed my age. You ve tought me happiness lies in small things. You ve made me creative. Everyday I am made to think of all innovative ways to make you laugh. And I am glad you don't let me down. For everything that I do, you always laugh making me smile.

Happy Birthday Aman. May God bless you with all the best things in life.

Love,
Your Only Maama(Uncle)
