My birthday gift

10th of December 2008, Paheli turned 9 months old, 5 when handed over to us :). One day before my 32nd birthday, i got the best gift i could think of.
A Child of our own, recognized by the govt of India and all and sundry.
Its been a messy tour, which was promised to be 3 months at the longest has already crossed that deadline by 30 days at good !
Phew!
The scrutiny report sucked, for all the effort we made! and lots of people tried, and we are grateful for it.
the hearing was exactly 2 minutes, and we were congratulated on becoming formal parents for Paheli, just like that !!!!, no questions, no arbitration's, no nightmares nothing.
Heard Bhunia fell into a man hole, laughed for 1 minute in mourning lol.There is a god, as everyone keeps telling me, i wish he died. Like a cocroach , creeping back again, hope he is born as one again. No wait!that means he will survive for eons like the species!!
anyways, all is well that ends well.
My birthday gift?
I am legally mom :)
HOWSZATT ? for a gift
Thank you up there, whoever is listening :)

Fight for my child and fight for what is right ...

22nd November! That was the last I wrote & if I thought I was tired then, don’t know what I am now!?
It’s been mayhem since the meeting in Kolkata, every day trying to get clearances trying to find someone who is sympathetic to our cause. Things just keep getting from bad to worse.

It’s sad people like this manage the fate of children, to the beginning of their ends! It’s worse than disgusting.
I now know the scare it feels to even think about losing your child, even though it’s an empty threat.

But we have decided to take the straight path and in government terms in India, it means a long wait. At the cost of morals and ethics, so be it. Paheli is my child and I will fight for her.

We are all headed for Kolkata on Monday, if all goes well, I’ll consider it my birthday gift, if not, I’ll make it my resolution, either ways I cannot afford to lose.
