Dear Yashasvi,
9+
10+
I don't know when you would end up reading this. Maybe you would never find this, maybe you would find this one day. They say the
11+
internet will be a place where written stuff gets retained for ages. This is my endeavour in small parts in the hope that this letter
12+
would reach you some day when you need it and it will hopefully bring a smile on your face.

# September 12th

You were born on September 12th, 2025 at 9:46 am in Kochi. I was there in the labour room and literally saw your head popping up.
17+
Your mother went through quite a bit of an ordeal and while delivery pain is normalised in our society, as someone who was a direct
18+
witness to all of it, it is not easy for moms , our society needs to show more gratitude to all mothers, they deserve it. The memory
19+
that is etched in my mind is this , your mother was in a lot of pain through the process , but the moment you stepped out into the world
20+
- she started smiling , it was the best of smile that means only onething - bliss!
21+
22+
A nurse kept you on Swathi's stomach for a moment and she also asked me to hold my hand over you. For a fraction of moment we were in
23+
a bubble with 3 of us and your mother was smiling, you were crying as babies should and i think i had a tear in my eyes. While Dr. Madhuja
24+
was stitching up Swathi, she was all smiling and it was a beautiful smile ; i asked her why she was smiling and she said she was
25+
seeing your legs in a distance while Dr.George (Pediatrician) was welcoming you.
26+
27+
I am sure most parents have some memory like this about their newborn, it is not something extremely rare, but all this felt incredibly
28+
personal and beautiful to us. When i came out and told your grandparents, they were ecstatic . We have captured a video that hopefully
29+
survives which shows the reaction of them when they get to see you for the first time. Your grandparents love you a great deal, they are
30+
simple nice people with a lot of love for you.
31+
32+
As I am writing this, you are still a baby who only cares right now about drinking milk and getting some sound sleep. When you are irritated
33+
or hungry, you would alert us with crying. Simple baby stuff , we are first time parents and sometimes we might mess up few things, most times
34+
we are over worried with best intention of raising you to the best of our capabilities. At this point it's safe to say you are the #1 priority
35+
to half a dozen humans while you have no idea about any of it.
36+
37+
38+
Now let me come to the core points of this letter
