Last year, it was

Last year, the same time 11 pm, I was very tensed. I was preparing to deliver a training the following day. But received call from Sudha that she had labor pain and admitted in hospital. I called every few hours to call the hospital reception to ask for the status. Morning 7.30 pm, the news came that Sudha had delivered, and it was a baby girl. Winner!!! All alone at home, I wept out of ecstasy. Side Note: What could be worse than the labor pain? For the dads, it is chanting those cohesive sanskrit mantras difficult to dismantle and pronounce during the auspicious functions.
