Why August 30, 2004 is very special for me!
Today my wife and I complete our 6th year of married life. And this year stays particularly special, as she has honoured me with the best gift possible ? a daughter! Yeah, I am a father of 2 girl children today, and I feel a lot proud about the same. The first angel is called Tejeswini and we are planning to name the second one as Priyadarshini.
The presence of God becomes more obvious when a fetus is formed in the womb of a woman. The process of pregnancy and childbirth, in my opinion, could not go as smooth as it goes without the intervention of the almighty, even when people argue that it is just a natural process.
We always go to a church-run small hospital near my place that is known for their record in normal deliveries. So much so that they don?t even have equipment for a caesarian. The hospital is run by a few simple Christian Nuns, who believe in God and prayers more than in science and modern tools.
They don?t advertise, they don?t have a/c wards, and they don?t have computer billing-system. All they have is experience and the grace of God. I am not a Christian freak, but I have admired the way these missionaries have served humanity for ages. Yeah there are controversies about religious conversion, but still the service they render is beyond par and always admirable.
There is another trend where the doctors deliberately go for Caesarians just to meet their hospital expenses. A Caesarian would cost 3-4 times more than a normal delivery, but who cares when there is enough money in patient?s pockets. And also there are woman who hate to go through the pain of normal delivery nowadays. They forget one truth that, this 2 hours of labour pain is always less than the life-long pain she will be undergoing just because of the surgery.
I incidentally learnt from one of my NRI friends that, in the US none prefers to go for a Caesarian, and all prefer a normally delivery. Mind it ? a normal kid weighs at least 4.5 to 5 kgs. Also most Americans don?t go for any birth-control operations. Presently each American family goes for 3-4 children and we have stopped it at 1 just because our government promised us a better life. People have started investing in land, fixed deposits, and insurances rather than in children, and the government has succeeded in taking your money with the hope that you will die a millionaire some day.
Here is the address of the hospital in case you want to consult them?
St Pius Hospital
Perungudi
Chennai ? 96
Ph ? 24964614
Meanwhile let me get ready for my 3rd kid!
