Apart from the title being a palindrome what does it mean? Does it declare to the world online that Anuja has returned and is willing to write? Or is the promise going to be broken by another silent phase that may last for a time period nobody can predict. How does it matter, for now, this is a blog for all its worth (and the worth I may add in silent whispers, isnt going to be much), and I will write like Ive never written before (which probably represents my talents acutely well, experience doesnt teach me much, or I dont learn much from it).

So what do I write? Topmost on my mind is the fact that today we went for my baby boy (Varun's) 1st immunization. The nurse, after some deliberation, since he is not quite 8 weeks old, 3 days remain, decided to grant him his injections, and he received 2 - one on each leg. Yes he cried, but not much. But now at home, in the middle of his sleep he is waking up crying with pain, bringing tears to my eyes and also my mom's. You really dont want to see him cry like that, it makes you sad, even though all kinds of leaflets and doctors and nurses and relatives have been telling you from experience that immunization leaves children feverish or cranky or listles or unhappy. 

Anyway, UK! My mother is very impressed with this country and the way they seem to charge absolutely nothing for the medical services rendered! After seeing me have a free of any charge delivery, and 1 year free prescription, and baby's all medical services till I think age of 16 absolutely free, she feels that a child born in this country would proudly feel that he or she truly belongs here. The country seems to be taking amazing care of the child, making it feel wanted, that it belongs, and the the whole nation, is willing and wanting to take its responsibility!  

Summer! British Summer! I can see bluish grey skies at 3:30, by 4:30 dawn strikes. By 6:00 the surroundings are flooded with bright sunlight, the kinds you probably see at 8:00 in India, atleast Mumbai/Bombay. And then the day goes on and on. At 8:30 pm one sees the clock and expresses surprise at the kind of light one sees outside, by 9:00 or 9:30 the sun has set and the transition time has arrived. By 10 its dark. Above 24 degrees people start complaining of muggy weather, the ideal room temperature for babies is advised as ranging between 18 and 21 degrees, and we are accused of overdressing and overheating the baby by visitors!

Now on to some masala! I read my dad's blog yesterday in which he wanted a new religion for new times to be created. This is not a very new idea, since that is what has been happenning over the centuries according to his blog, or my understanding of it. I skimmed through the comments, since the comments seem to be more interesting than the blogs when it comes to him and his circle of intellectually driven friends, and in one reply he mentioned that this religion will not be for people like him, but for people who need to believe in something - probably people like me. I would like to give my requirements for this up and coming religion.

It has to be based on facts. I dont want maybes. I want existing religion and its claims to be convincingly proven as false. I want to know for sure that Ram and Sita and Krishna and various other Gods are figments of a brilliant mind's imagination. I dont want stories about stories. I want to know that truly there was no time in the past when there were 'udan khatolas'. I want telepathy explained. I want all ghosts stories and claims explained. I want miracles explained or revealed as magic tricks.

Ok more later. Baby has woken up:) What a contrast, I dont need to bother about the above questions right now.
