I am the New Kid on the block!!

Hi there, 

 I came into this world on 6th December 2014 at 10:45 AM. I was crying as hell and I wonder what everyone in the room were so happy about. I also heard sounds of "Push, Push, Push..." I was like, huh! they already want me to work?? It seems they were not asking me to push after all. There was this beautiful lady in the room who I believe was not looking her best and it was as if her eyes were trying to express a thousand things at once. As she saw me, her cheeks were lined with beautiful little tears of pearls. It was joy, relief, pride, tiredness and satisfaction all rolled into one. Such was her effect on me I immediately felt as if I was in the right place, but I cried anyway because I guess that's what we new-born are supposed to do. More on her as we go on.

It felt weird breathing for the first time. The air seems to be heavier outside. As I stopped to look around, those weird happy people picked me up and threw clothes over me. They cleaned me and took me outside. It was then I met a handsome guy who was all smiles. As he came closer and picked me up, I noticed a glint in his eyes and I know those were tears. Something tells me that this guy and the lady I mentioned earlier are going to be my most favourite people in the world. 

Soon I was surrounded by both sets of grandparents and both of my cute aunts, I am sure these are the ones who are going to pamper me as I grow.

Within the next 15 minutes there was so much frenzy around, these relatives of mine started putting their hands to their ears and started speaking to invisible people and thanking them. I wonder how they were doing it. I guess it is going to take some time for me to come to terms with this world.

Anyway, I am just happy soaking in all the attention and adulation. I took some time out to update this dormant blog that my dad used to maintain. Did you notice the new look & feel? I did it :D, not bad for a first timer isn’t it? Oh and I also wanted to change Kartik's Korner to Kartik's Kid's Korner :P. Now that I have taken over the reins from him, I will try and update this blog as and when the time permits.

Until then,

Happy Living!!

Signing off, 

New Kid on the block! (I hope they give me a nice name)

Without an H - whats in the name

Sigh!!!!

"and there goes one more drop in the vast ocean ."

"Without an H"

Why name my blog like that???

the thing is, being a South-Indian and having a name without H in it - don't go hand-in-hand. Invariably people end-up writing my name as KartHik and more often than not send e-mails to kartHik@xyz.com.

I switched jobs last year and joined this company called think3 and this HR female in the company sent me the offer letter and guess what my name was in the letter.... no not Kartik or KartHik, it was "karthink".. what the @$%&!!!!!

this isn't the only "issue" i have with my name. I write my full name as Sri Ranga Kartik (yes i share my initials with some random bollywood actor). Kartik being my first name, which unfortunately for me, is the 3rd after S and R. Imagine my plight when i have to fill forms which say "First name - Second name - last name" and more so when all the documents/certificates of proof i have, show my name as S R Kartik.

All that aside, this blog is abt me and my views on all things bloggable (if such a word exists).

so folks.. happy reading!!!!

cheers for the new beginning.....
