An exceptional day in your life…sometimes an exceptional day
is occurring in your life and you have no clue about it until years later. The
most exceptional day of my life was wrapped in mystery for years before finally
unveiling itself to me. Sometimes captivity is good, being left in darkness
beneficial, so was the case with me. I was enveloped in a soft cushioning
surrounding, don’t know what it was, fluids surrounded my body, oh yes my body,
I had a body! In my comfortable abode where all my needs were met – warmth,
food and comfort – it was bliss! But after some months, I think it was a year,
no not a year a little less. I woke up because of some movement, I could feel
myself moving for the first time a little too much in my cushioning
surrounding. My head could touch something hard, after struggling for hours I
felt immense pressure on my head followed by huge pressure on my chest. Slowly
the tension in my body subsided and the pressure was gone and my lungs filled
with air – my first breath. I coughed and spluttered, and then my cord was cut!
Yes, I had been born. I would not know this for years to come,
what my mother went through all this time when I was coming out in this world
would be hidden from me.
It was an exceptional day; I was to celebrate that very day
for all the years to come – 18th March. I am more close to my dad, I
saw him first when I opened my eyes, sometimes I feel is it because I thought
that he had given birth to me! :P Well that’s another story for another day,
recounting such an exceptional day of my life is enough for a day I feel. :)
