Finally, the baby is born

Well, finally, I just gave birth to this beautiful baby. The desire to conceive and deliver was there in me for long, but the pregnancy period was longer than any mammal in the world, and finally, I am happy that I delivered. You wont be much surprised hearing that for sure and would say, “dude, seems you were holding it back for a Guinness record, weren’t you?“. If you know me earlier as this young wannabe chap with crazy ideas and stupid thoughts, I am sure you would have murmured it already, “this guy has gone nuts!!!“.

Well, what is all this fuss about then?. I am happy that you just dropped by with baby-pack to meet the newborn and its happy parents. “Oh, wow!!! Easo Thomas, How did you do it man ?“, you may ask me then. Neither did I exhibit any magical powers or face much trouble as the Greek God Zeus who delivered Dionysus from his thigh after keeping it there for 3 months. The only thought that retracted me all this long was the culture in which I should raise the baby. Seems am not alone in this agony and the baby’s fathers have a say here…..Jeez…. “did you say ‘fathers’??” Yes dude….quite a few…..”OMG!… this guy delivers a baby and he agrees that the baby has got fathers“…..dude… relax… read on…take guard…

I’ve been long wanting to write a blog and have always wondered what was pulling me back from compiling the first blog post. I am very glad that I finally broke the jinx. I was much worried about the readers than about myself. I never wanted someone to read my blog and bang his fist on his computer cussing, “If that guy is gonna put one more crappy post like this, this will be on his face“. I even feared people who accidentally land in my page from Google and say, “God, if I had spent a little extra time finding bugs in my code, rather than reading this crap, Lehman Brothers would have never gone bankrupt and we would have no recession and …….what not!!!“. One thing for sure, anyone reading me will get more confidence that they can write even crappier things and well….. I know, you got my point.

It was only a few days back on March 19, when I turned 29, did my friends think of this wonderful idea to shut me up and to escape my annoyance. “Book a website domain and some space for Easo Thomas on the Internet and gift it to him on his birthday“, someone commented in my absence and others were very happy about this idea of belling the cat. My rants on lunch table had gone beyond limits and my stories and travelogues were sung along with me as and when I opened my mouth to talk rather than filling it with sambar and rice. I was never ashamed of (shame… what the heck is that???) repeating incidents to fill a void on our lunch table and my friends were ashamed to tell me back that I was repeating the same story ever since I met them. I am happy that I got this wonderful set of friends that they never punched me, but always produce a full bloom smile and gesture each other, “Oh no, not again!!”

Good or bad, they have done this to me and have taken the responsibility and pains (pains…father…, whats wrong man…) to father my new born, http://easothomas.com. Am thankful to all of them and I firmly believe that it is my responsibility to baby-sit and watch it grow. Do come visit occasionally with your gifts and wishes, whenever you get time, and am sure you wont be disappointed.

And finally for filling the registers, here are the fatherly figures. For sure these dignitaries need a much more better introduction than this. Will reserve that for a separate post. You can find their comments as separate posts below.

Before I close the room for a little privacy with my newborn, a word of thanks to all my friends and colleagues for their wishes and support and I take this opportunity to remind them that am gonna irritate them more in the coming days…. stay tuned.
