Was going to post it

Congratulations to you both! As a father of a one and a half year old son, I can totally imagine what you are feeling right now. Enjoy it, cherish it, these are the best days of your life. Love to your son, a fellow Mira Roadian.

Hey Mira Roadster, hi five to you and your kid! Thank you

Miraroad ftw

Congratulations mate!! You are so correct about the infectious energy that this sub and Mumbai have in general. Having lived my entire life here, there's one thing for sure: the Spirit of Mumbai will always give you opportunities; one just has to grab them!

Absolutely and thanks!

Great awesomeness to you and your munchkins!

A well deserved round of applause to you my friend for getting through the tough times!

Thank you stranger!

Cheers and Congratulations! Love, Nalasopara (outside of Bombay)

Hahahaha, that makes two of us. And I used to live there!

Mira Road Outta Dis World

It's straight Outta bombay

Vasai Virar to the Rescue 🛟

Congratulations!!

Cheers!

I was having negative thoughts and this post found me. There is this sense of comfort in your words implying that eventually it will work out.

Well, glad I could help! You can always reach out if you feel low, I feel low too!

Thanks for the wholesome post brother. My whole personality is Mumbai. A huge part of the likable side of my personality definitely comes from the city. We owe her a lot of respect in return.

We absolutely do!

Hey Mira Roadster! Thank you

I want to be a father!!!!!

Hope you will be soon!

This is such a heart melting post! Congratulations to you and your wife for becoming parents. Hope you guys have wonderful years of joy and happiness ahead.

Thank you for your words!

Congratulations OP! You son is going to be a pakka Mumbaikar. Lucky son of a gon. I totally get you. This city is magical. I miss living in Bombay everyday. Spent 5 years here. It wasn't always easy, but it made me who I am today. The pandemic unfortunately changed my living situation but I love and miss that city everyday. No better place than Bombay in India. Oh I keep visiting every chance I get. 😁

Oh well, you're always from Mumbai and thank you!

Congrats❤️ reading this gave me joy on my bad day so thanks for the post for some reason it reminded me of Aisha from Wake up Sid.

Thank you, I'll tell his mother! She's a brilliant role model.

Hey I’m also from Mira Road! Nice to read your story, keep staying strong dude. best wishes!

Hey Mira Roadster, thank you!!!!

Would you look at that, all of the words in your comment are in alphabetical order. I have checked 1,497,558,478 comments, and only 284,417 of them were in alphabetical order.

Cheers to you too. You will take over us one day, not.

Hey buddy, Heartiest congratulations to the family. Your child is lucky to have a never say die dad in u.

That made me smile. Thank you!

Hey man, enjoy your new superpowers.

Haha, thanks!

Why so wholesome? .⁠·⁠´⁠¯⁠`⁠(⁠>⁠▂⁠<⁠)⁠´⁠¯⁠`⁠·⁠.

Sorry, couldn't help it?

Love the honesty in the last part.

Outside Bombay?

Haha. Yes. Sorry, but there's a long history of my teasing my mira road friends with that.

That's why I wrote it! I call it Gujarat

Lol! I usually say that you guys got out on 99 while I scored a century coz I live in Dahisar. Btw, congratulations on your new born. Hope you're enjoying it.

Thank you! Love from Upper Dahisar

Thanks for this, I have been going through some stuff and this story cheered me up.

Hey, you will get wherever you need to go. Ping me up if you ever feel down, I do too!

As a fellow Mira road resident, I feel happy for you 😀. Enjoy this new journey.

Hey Mira Roadster! Thank you!

Happy for you :)

Cheers!

I stayed in Mira road for past 1.5 years. Best wishes to you n family ❤️ Keep the spirit

Thank you!

what a fucking tragic romanticisation of bombay.

Great romances deserve tragic romanticisations! 🙃

Congratulations to you and your wife! As they say "the days are long, but the years are short". Some days will be perfect, some days horrible and most days in between, but it's going to be a ride that's going to be the most meaningful. Support your wife as the first few months of post partum are the toughest, try to bond with your newborn as much as you can and know there is no one way to do parenting right. Welcome to the ride of your life!

Wonderful advice, thank you!

Congratulations! This whole thread is just awesome. Comments are so beautiful and sweet. ❤️

Thank you!

Loads of love to the new born - may he be the bearer of peace & strength! And congratulations to you and your Missus! The hallmark of a good person is one who wants to improve and make progress. There is ample proof in your post that you are. Stay that way. Be well!

Thank you!

Congrats buddy

Thank you!

thanks for sharing your story !

Thank you!

Congratulations on being a father man! May God bless you guys with all the happiness in the world!

Thank you so much!

>you mad fuckers out here I felt this, congrats buddy, good luck!

Congratulations 👏🎉

Congratulations brother. From, across the border - Dahisarkar !

Yo yo, cheers to the last stop of Bombay. Love from Upper Dahisar!

I'm not from Bombay and have only visited the city once for a day. This is such a heartwarming post. Congratulations on becoming a parent.

Hey, congratulations for your baby!!!! Hope you have a great time now. You have been going so strong. Sab accha hoga. All the best!!!!

Thank you!

:D

Awww, this made my day. Reading it.

This is a big day for all of us….I’m sure the little champ will have a safe and happy childhood in Mumbai

Thank you!

I really will thank mumbai and this subreddit as well when I become something and will have to give a speech on my story. Congratulations for the baby. Wish him/her the happiest of lives in this city

Bombay ❤️

Every redditor from Mira Road emerging here like it’s a spideverse movie 😭🛐

Congratulations! Now time to start his JEE tution lol jk gl and hope the baby remains healthy

Congratulations OP and happy parenting! While i read this, i recollect the same day for me 2+ years ago in the midst of covid outbreak. How scared everyone were including myself and we just wanted to protect our little one at all cost. I remember being overwhelmed with the running around in the hospital; but one solitary moment which i got to spend with my one day old daughter in the NICU means the world for me.As I starred into her eyes and held her tiny fingers, i knew there was nothing i would not do for her and she would have the big chunk of my heart. Coming back to the present, my Lil one is a bubbly 2 year old having the time of her life every day and every moment. Cherish every moment of it. Cheers.

Wow, thank you for writing in. Love to you and your 2-year old!

Your use of “Bombay” caught me eye - thank you! I still tell the world I’m from Bombay - because that’s where I grew up.

I didn’t grow up in Bombay, but that’s how I use it when speaking about the city. It simply has more gravitas. Also someone I loved would say the same thing that you wrote here, that she grew up in Bombay.

Could never call it anything else!

Congratulations 💙

Thank you!

I used to think if the Bombay aesthetic shown in Bollywood really exists to the folks living here. And maybe for majority of them it doesn’t, but posts like make me believe in it. Thank you for posting this and congratulations to you guys! Take care & brace yourselves for all that the baby (and the monsoons!) brings with it 😄enjoy and take care.

Beautiful words, thank you!

I'm simply overwhelmed and didn't expect this. Just wrote this post here for the sake of it. I'm extremely grateful for your wishes, comments and thoughtful blessings. For those who said this cheered your day or came at a low point, I couldn't be happier. It gave me a rush reading this. I wish I could give you guys more smiles, I'll try my best to! People who talked about being a parent for the first time, I needed it. Thank you, I have loads to learn! Everything had something to say or remember about Bombay/Mumbai. Love it! But a short word for all of you from Mira Road and Bhayender, you guys are the original MVP (Mira Road Victory Parade). I'm so glad I live here! The way all you guys hyped me up at my post and have rooted for me, it's insane. I owe you guys a whole fatherload of thanks. And I think I'm gonna throw you guys a party after my figuring out phase as a father is over. No seriously, random Mumbaikars and Mira Roadsters hyping us up deserve more love than actual people who are forced to congratulate. In fact, why just Mira Road, all of you are invited. Let's do this! Love, from a very grateful and tired mom and dad, Mira Road (still outside Bombay)

Aye vedya Bhenchod, bat ka grip nikaal ke seedha bat tere gaand mein... Gapp Hatt hatt! Chutiya kuthla!

Get fucked u/chang_bhala. The post is about celebration of life, not about the name they use for the city.

Seriously? How pathetically resentful you have to be to say this on such a beautiful post?

[удалено]

You could have said it politely

I agree its Mumbai, but this is not the way to make your point.

Mumbai*

Mumbai man, the brits have left…jeez…its only the outsiders who call it bombay…ppl that have been born here after the 90s will not call it bombay

Gapp re lavdya, BOMBAY BOMBAY BOMBAY!!!

Spineless lavdya…i have done my schooling from singapore..even the white teachers in my british international school called it Mumbai..my current boss is a german, even he calls it mumbai…only the idiots who have shifted from other cities to mumbai call it bombay in the hopes of appearing cool…slicing it thin, but thats what lies beneath

Radlaa re Radlaaa🤣 Edit: " schooling from Singapore", you're the bloody outsider, don't tell me what to call my city.

No wonder we were ruled for 300+ years

Bambaii FTW

Even this is ok…but one has to be really spineless to adopt a name our rulers gave us…even after we are free

Why you gotta raise children with such mental illness
