Information handling

My wife was telling that I will resume blogging only after our kid is born. Seems to be true, as I feel like blogging after ShreeVarsha is born.

Most folks call friends and relative during that moment to share the news. I controlled the urge. Thou my wife asked me to inform my relatives, I didnt. Somehow I didnt get an answer to 'why we need to tell everyone immediately? why not after two days?'

Before we go further in this discussion, let me list out the advantage of delayed broadcasting. I didnt get any in call on that day; also I sparsely used my phone. I was able to focus on the tasks I had to do at the hospital. More than anything, I had lots of precious moments with the baby.

ps: After two days, when I relaxed myself, I called everyone in my contact list to share the news. Most of the people were just happy and didnt mind the delay. Very few questioned why I didnt inform them at the earliest.

Congratulations.
These days I dont even get a call or email, instead I get notifications on Facebook or Orkut when someone has a baby and I am becoming comfortable with that way of notification. I think nothing can beat a snail mail letter with a picture of the baby as the birth announcement.
