My wife was admitted in the Govt. Maternity Hospital in the evening at 7.30 p.m. on 23rd December.
She was taken to hospital by our dear family friend,
Mr. E.K.V. KRISHNAN whom we called him as
Durai, in his black Chevrolet car.
When I went to the hospital, I was not allowed to go and see her.
But I got the information, she was still having her pains.
I prayed to Jesus Christ and requested him ,in my prayer,
that my son might please be born on 25th December.
My wish was granted, at the cost of my wife's suffering with the pains.
When I went in the evening, I got the news ,my son born in the evening on the Christmas day.
We brought her home, in Durai's new car, white Chevrolet
near Seif Palace which was the then near the Gulf Bank K.S.C.
We bought for him a iron cradle. We used to feed him milk in the glass feeding bottle. After drinking , he would throw down and when it broke ,made a sound, he was very happy.
Then by force, we changed the feeding bottle to a plastic one.
He tried and stopped throwing that because he did not get what he wanted.
When he was born, both the parents did not know how to take care of the baby,
So in January 1963,they went to Kumbakonam, where his grand parents were there.
When he came back, he used to use the green cream, which his father was applying for his hair make up.
He spread that all over his body.
His mother had to give him a full bath to clear off that,
Then one day, when we were busy, he took the Ganapathy idol and put it in his mouth.
When his mother came, she found out the missing idol in his mouth.
His mother used to go to the painting and knitting class in the evening.
His father took him to the nearest park which was very big and kept him engaged.
The lady who was teaching his mother was very magnanimous and very kind lady. Her name is Mrs.Bhasin.
You could never find such a lady, a rare person.
She used to pet him and play with him and asked Amechand to offer snacks and tea.
