This
is my father’s desktop diary entry of 16th November 1952, briefly recording my
birth details. I was born on Sunday 16th November 1952 at 8:45 am by a
caesarean operation at King Edward Memorial Hospital, Secunderabad. More
details of my birth are available in his regular diary of that year which is
also well preserved, but it is in our attic in a trunk. Likewise, I have also
preserved my father’s diary detailing my sister’s birthday.
The
entry reads as follows: “Attended Hospital early morning and saw wife who has
pains. She was taken to operation theater at 8.15. Boy was born at 8.45 a.m. Patient
taken back to ward at 9.50 a.m. She regained consciousness in the evening.”
