This is how you look at it. Last August 24 was Fahmia's 10th birthday. She already past ten years of her life and I see how the time is going in its own way.
For new a fathers it is an experience that he never had before. Something that you can not express. It was an  early evening on 23 of August, 2003. I was walking at a place close to Dhaka Airport. There was a newly established vegetable market close to airport railway station. I had a plan to buy some fresh vegetable. Suddenly I got a call from my wife, she is not feeling well.
I knew that she was not feeling well as long as her pregnancy was going at seven month stage. We just had a doctor's consultation one day before. The doctor was quite happy with her progress. Still every situation counts and needs special attention.
When I went back, we decided to visit the doctor again. It is not very close and those who know the traffic in Dahaka can realize the travelling distance from Airport to Dhanmondi. Any way, while travelling my wife was quite normal. Fortunately in that night, it did not took that long for us to travel to the Dhanmondi to Dr. Maliha's office. My wife was admitted immediately.
As you are a first time father, you don't know what to do. I talked with the doctor who was there at that time. My mother in law came to hospital to see us. I left the hospital as I thought everything was ok and she will feel better very soon. I came back to our resident leaving my wife and mother in law in the nursing home.
I can't remember how was my sleeping in that night. But next day early in the morning I got a phone call. Probably I did not understand what my wife said. Normally don't receive all the message when you just woke up. But I understood, Urmi is in the labor room.
I had a quick breakfast and immoderately started for the hospital. It was about 7:00 in the morning and traffic was bad. While I was in the transit, I got a phone call from my mother in law that I already became a father.

I am sitting this afternoon and waiting when the day will be over, fasting. Today is 29th of Ramadan and waiting for moon sight result. Depending on the moon, tomorrow might be a Eid day. Yet another Eid in Vancouver.

How many Eid I got in my life? During Eid, I pray everyday will be Eid day. Did I make all my days Eid day. 

Let's talk about one of our Eid when I was a kid. My father was transferred to Mymensingh. We still did not start to live together. With my mother we were living in Muradnagar where we stayed about six months before joining to Mymensingh with my father. During the Eid vacation from Mymensingh, my father bought all our dresses and gift items. We were waiting for very exciting Eid. While he was travelling towards Muradnagar, his bag was smuggled at Meghna Feri Ghat. 

My dad, my father when he came to Muradnagar about 100km from Feri Ghat, he was completely devastated. We were waiting for new dresses and gift item. I saw my father, full of sorrow and tears in his eyes. He said he will buy us all the dresses again. He did sometime later, but we had a wonderful Eid.
