Day Zero


Just a line to let you know that I arrived safe and sound onto the 3rd rock from the sun. I was born on July 15 2006 at 23.45 hrs CEST in Den Bosch, Netherlands. If you don't know where that is, don't worry - you're not alone. Apart from the 15 million people in Holland, precious few do.

My parents (Aditi and Ujjwal) are over the moon and gave me a name which completes the laboured sun, moon and stars line that I've been building up to this whole post. D-oh !

That's me in the picture, sleeping... I do a lot of that. I also cry a lot, but that's just a reflex - i'm pretty happy to be on this planet. Really. Truly. Well, maybe it could be a better place without all the fighting and the global warming and all that. But to paraphrase what somebody famously said, "The problems of one little baby don't amount to a hill of diapers in this crazy world."
