Recipe: Ghee Roasted Phool Makhana / Foxnuts
June 1st was my 3 year old's first day of "big school".
I almost teared up when I realised that there was a brief time when I thought I might never be able to hold him in my arms. It was during the 4th month of my pregnancy when there were some anomalies detected in the detailed ultrasound scans.
It was a scary time, filled with heart-breaking sorrow and fervent prayers. Those depressing days would have been difficult to get through if not for the love and care of my wonderful family and friends. And more than anything, the peace and reassurance that comes from pouring out our heart to our Maker.
Scan after scan, the diagnosis looked bleak for the little one growing within me. After seeing problems in 8 scans, the doctors were getting ready for amniocentesis and counselling after one last scan. And then surprisingly things turned around and became perfectly fine in the 9th and final scan!
I remember the joy, the relief, the happiness! I realised that the Lord of the Universe is not bound by man-made rules disguised as science. And truly we are at His mercy for every breath of life.
