How do you catch a cloud and pin it down ?

Mowgli and I have conversations. He kicks me when he likes what I have eaten. He kicks when I roll over my stomach accidentally while sleeping. He kicks if he doesn't like what I am wearing. He somersaults from time to time as though to remind me that I haven't spoken to him that day ! :)

After dinner, sometimes, we play a game. I try to guess where he will kick and put my hand there and he tricks me oh so often !!!

Mowgli does like music.. sometimes. He kicks more if I have headphones on.. and of course depending on his mood and the music. He slept all the way through Mozart & Bach and through Mandolin Srinivas. When we went to the Odissi program though, he did have a blast. Especially in the songs that he has experienced me jump all over the place practicing to. He kicked as though he was urging me to just get up and start dancing myself. :) Oh Mowgli, will you dance with me when you come home?

After many nights of watching the old British Sherlock Holmes drama series on TV, I decided to switch gears and watch something light and frothy for a change. We watched The sound of music. Coolboy sang along with the songs loudly as Mowgli kicked away to glory :) !!!
Note to self: Buy the soundtrack for Mowgli.

But really, how do you describe joy of nurturing someone inside you ? How do you voice all your apprehensions without feeling guilty ? How do you not fear treading the unknown ?

Thats why we need the 280 days of gestation? To learn to appreciate the miracle that life itself is. To feel one with all the things we don't understand. To believe in the silliest of things. To take life one little baby kick at a time. That's how you catch a cloud and pin it down ?
