First Stars win then Numerology & my daughter's name change

With the amount of confidence that I had written my last blog, numerology beat me hands down. It's not that I am an ardent follower of these things but you want to possibly want to eliminate all chances of possible folly, just for your own child.
This feeling for someone, I am experiencing for the first time in my life. So much so that it reflects in the face that I have started writing blogs which I was avoiding for all my life coz I never considered myself to be a writer enough. With this blog I don't care I am just speaking my mind And experience in the simplest possible form.
So coming back to my baby, I have a colleague in office with knowledge in numerology which I did not know. Between one of the meetings on Friday he casually asked what did I name my child I said Veda. After doing some calculation he said it sums up to 14. What's that? According to him every name has some attributes associated which defines the persons life. 14 is the fallen crown of the king. Meaning a jerky life with continual ups and downs.
He said try to avoid this. Names that amount up to 23, 15 & 19 are suppose to be best. I gave him other options we had in our radar. With some calculations agin he came up with Vrusha and Vaanya being the best ones.
Well why avoid a good suggestion.
So in the naming ceremony yesterday with my cousins and bua I suggested Vaanya. Rupal wouldn't object coz she loved it so will Gaurav. He was the one to suggest it. The name did meet some resistance with my uncle. He said it sounds like Vania a cast within our gujrati community. He saw my inclination towards the name and finally said 'ya sounds good :)' well we had thought of this before but we defeated the possibility of anyone mispronouncing it. We live in the educated society now everyone know how to pronounce it without the gujju ascent. Gaurav could be one of the teaser but would not since he had suggested it.
Next day morning one of my friends in the building asked what name have you decided? I proudly answered Vaanya
'Vania!' he exclaimed and stared blank at me!

The wee feet named Veda

Now keeping name of the child is a very big deal! Not only its auspicious and holy, I also considered how she be teased in school with any name that we kept. Total due diligence on that. Talking of this my bro Gaurav is super particular
So the letters we had for options were b, v & u. Thinking of keeping a different name my friends and folks came up with name from varied ethnicity, thank them for that coz I knew we had to choose from so much that I need not do any research myself.
Name that my wife was stuck on was Vaanya so did my bro. He kept on saying it has to go well with the last name. How did Vanya go well? For me Veda it was, liked it the moment It was given as an option. Rupal & Gaurav dosnt seem to keen though.
Anyways 27th sept it will be officially declared by my bua. And I k is what will it be

First week

This was fun! A week passed by in a blink.. We got Radha home on Monday 10/9/12. Thereafter the whole family has been just dancing around her. The biggest tension I had was that she would keep us awake all night & how would I make it to office the following day.
I can in terms with my fear, but fortunately only for 2-3 days. Luckily my mom in law was staying with us & she took care of the rest. Ofcourse Rupal had to stay up too. After 3 days Radha changed her timings, she would sleep at 1-2 and wake up by 730. This is the time even u wake up normally.
There is a huge support system at home which I know in future will give us enough time and space to concentrate on professional lives.

First day in this world

I will start my blog with Cute little Angle coming in this world.
The way Rupal was is pain everyone of us standing outside the labour room was petrified. Suddenly after some silence there comes my Angle at 3:09 am on 9/9/12, I call her Radha
My love was redefined!
With her big eyes she started staring at us and space. She smiled too...
I read and heard about lot of feeling that a 'just' become father goes through. But for me I just couldn't stop smiling too
