So yesterday we dropped Akshra at Shika's place in the city at Union Square and went to dinner at Vatan and then the film 'Hurt Locker'. We really had a good time. By the time the movie ended it was 12:30 am and we didn't want to disturb Akshra who was fast asleep with Shika. So, we decided that we'll pick her up in the morning the next day.

She is there now and this is the first day that she has slept outside our house -- and really the first night that she's been away from both her parents.

I woke up this morning feeling a strange vacuum in my belly. It was somewhat relaxing to not have to worry about her waking up but it was also somewhat purposeless. We really missed her. We had troubled falling a sleep last night, but we managed to sleep well once we did fall asleep :-)

I guess this marks another important even in her tiny life.
