Finally it is the time to start and we have just few more hours to go before we give away our first born baby girl to some one who, though not a complete stranger, is still not known to us that well.

Indian scriptures speak highly of "Kanya- Daan" that is to bestow your daughter to an eligible bachelor for the purpose of procreation and like a staunch Hindu fed upon the staple diet of the epics and Hindu philosophy I atleast have the courage to think about my contribution towards the creation of a new world and my daughter is the link through which I ould contbribute my mite in the universe.

I sincerely believe that had it not been the "Shakti" that women represent and stand for, the world would have been a dull and worthless place to live in. My Nidhi would also prove her worth as a woman and would provide much needed strength to her husband in time of need. All these thoughts have helped ne to take courage to initiate the first step towards the pilgrimage that we would take in few hours from now.

Nidhi who has been the most quiet and introvert child that I have, would definitely exercise her strength, that is inherent in all women, and would come out as a strong woman walking hand in hand with Vikrant not as a follower but as a friend and a partner.

So lets start the journey toward the pilgrimage with purity filled in our hearts and God's blessings!
