I feel so honored that you shared this news and moment with us. Tears of joy on this side of the world for you and your husband. And such a beautifully told story. You are another kind of author now, about to help another human being take shape and live their story. Wow!

I'm so happy for you Malavika!!! Man, you've written so beautifully about it.

I must say, this was my favourite line - “Shut the balcony door, ma”. That's how you know you're in Bangalore—when someone addresses another person as "ma". XD

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful. You got me emotional. This is such a pivotal moment in a human's life, in both your lives. I absolutely loved how you described the details of the room, and those seconds that feel like hours, until you hear the heartbeat. And your thoughts. Aloud. A marvellous piece and fantastic news, Malavika. Congratulations to both of you. To the three of you :)
