Mira

Good evening all! Nothing much is happening in my part of the world - save for the Vande mataram controversy and PJ Joseph's resignation.
Need to plan Mira's first birthday - whether to hold it on 21st itself as it falls on a working Thursday or later. I think the party itself is going to be sabotaged - our folks dont seem keen on coming over. Bringing Ash to Madras and then taking him back will be another problem. We want him to be in Kerala for another 2 months - have to see how the new maid manages babysitting, secondly Ash has to get a bit healthy and organised under my parents' care...
So her b'day is likely to be low-key, if at all it is held. Her birth had also not been an occasion for celebration, unlike Ash's. Circumstances were such that we could not even give a box of sweets even to the obstetrician who brought her out to the world. V tells me it wasn't deliberate, so now the onus is on him to prove that Mira is just as dear as Ash to him.
