| 8 | +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. |

| 14 | +# September 12th |
| 15 | + |
| 16 | +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 |
