FOREWORD

A baby is a miraculous gift , no matter how one receives it.
Some are given the ability bear them,
others the ability to rear them.

With this blog I intend to log a diary on raising Paheli, and our life with her. Can't say how regularly I will find the time to pen, but I will try my best, and hopefully Paheli will give me a chance to do it :)

Update since the hearing till we reached dubai

Gosh this one is going to be a long one, so let me break this up.
Birth Certificate
After the hearing came getting a copy of the court order, adoption deed and then applying for a birth certificate. this would have wrapped up our Kolkata chapter. We were decided that we were not going to leave kolkata before having all this together. b extended his trip by a week and tek Singh helped a whole lot by extending his stay so B could do that, bless his soul. I cant thank khoka da and Papia boudi enough for their hospitality and support without which kolkata would have been a nightmare. Also not to mention the compassion we got from the kolkata municipality ( much maligned ) , Soumeta from ISSA and Mr. Pahari from Sahara, all of them and some honest promises from me got all the above in time. The story is long but lets just say there are a few good people still and they make up for all the terrible ones.
All papers in hand and a lil help from benadryl did the trick to land us back in Delhi on the 17th of December. b left the same night ona 3 AM flight. We applied for an interview for a tatkal passport and i went to sleep thinking it will be 4 days before i head for DXB!! god was i stupid!?
to be contd...
