We reached agartala on 3rd. On 5th Dec, we went to my in laws and they had a party on occasion of li'l Reimaan's arrival and that went pretty well. Lot of gifts, blessing, kissing, hugging left us bit uncomfortable. But that's the way it is, when a new born arrives and that too from their most lovable lady. We on the other hand were battered with 2 obvious observations - "You have lost too much hair" was for me and "You have put on lot of weight" was for Tumpi. Also everyone want to have us on either lunch or dinner or even Breakfast, so much so that someone offered to come at 1pm and have lunch and leave at2pm, since we were busy. We ended up accepting some offers from close relatives and started obliging.
Next morning we had Chicken Biryani for Breakfast as we could not give a Lunch slot to them. Reimaan was doing good as Tumpi gave him some sponge bath and we took off for another Lunch sitting. Once we returned after an hour, Reimaan was having 102 fever... we gave him some paracetamol drops but didn't know the quantity. We waited for 2 hrs for the fever to come down, in the meantime my mom and dad came and we took him to a senior Pediatric Specialist. The amount of paracetamol was more this time and the way to give him was also changed (we diluted all the medicines and gave him). The doctor suggested a Chest x-ray for the li'l one and it showed there was nothing serious. That night also Reimaan had fever again, and he only got out of that spell next morning. It was scary for us but with Ma and Baba around I was not worried that much. Those times, make you feel how much a presence of a doctor around can ease your life. Me and my brother never went to a doctor all our childhood. In 3 days time Taan would fall sick, and he already knows "nothing works like Dadu Sunil's medicine".
So this would mean, we cancelled all the invitation and stay home for the big occasion on 10th. The plan was to finish the ceremony in the afternoon and invitees would come for dinner. Reimaan did what he does well. he was very active on 9th, and I felt that he would sleep mostly on 10th.
