Today is the last day of #9DaysOfWomanhood Navratri Blogathon and I am going to miss these days a lot. That was one fun crazily motivating Blogathon that I participated for the first time. Today is also the last day of Navratri. And the prompt for today is so apt that it made the atheist inside me jump in excitement. Prompt wants us to write about ‘A woman in your life who is like one of the Goddess’s avatar’. And for me, she’s my mom of course.

It brings me immense pleasure to share that I, along with 24 other bloggers are celebrating #9daysofwomanhood throughout Navratri. I thank Gagandeep Kochar for introducing me. Her blog is named as My Diaries and I loved reading her blog on the prompt for today ‘Talk about a woman as one of the Goddess’s avatar‘.

Now, you must be thinking how the prompt on God made the atheist in me jump in excitement? Well, I was not a born atheist, I was the firm believer in deities and their supreme power and how they could keep us content and healthy. There was not just a single God, that I used to follow. In fact, I prayed to many Gods and Goddesses whose names I could slip into my little mind.

‘Before starting the actual post, I want to give a little background’

Being a Believer

My mom tells me stories of my childhood where I would go to sleep only after listening to lullabies which were actually the prayer songs. She was the devotee of Ma Durga (we also call her as Shera Wali Mata as she rides a lion) and would go to Vaishno Devi (Holy Temple of Ma Durga) every year without fail. Her devotion made our family follow the same rituals more than anything else. 

“Ma Durga is depicted in the Hindu mythology as a fearless woman riding a lion or tiger, with many arms each carrying a weapon. The 10-day long Hindu festival, Navratri, is celebrated to offer prayers to 9-Avatars of Ma Durga”.

There are some very interesting tales which made me believe in the power of Ma Durga,

• When my mom was 5 months pregnant with me, she visited Vaishno Devi Temple to pray for her unborn child and get her blessings. She used to say, I was the gifted child from Ma Durga whenever I questioned my destiny and was looked down by other members of our family for being a girl child (my paternal grandparents never loved me for I was a girl and that too only child of my parents).

• My belief got, even more, firm when my mom told me that my 1st birthday was celebrated at the Vaishno Devi Temple, I was unwell at that time and how my condition improved drastically after getting the blessings from Ma Durga. My mom had said this many times, that I was Ma Durga’s blessed girl and she would always take care of me. 

Being an Atheist

Now coming back to the present day, I describe myself as a half atheist since I don’t believe in the existence of God anymore neither I believe in prayers offered to idols at temples. However, I do believe in One Supreme Power and have faith in prayers which are done from within. I am not afraid of any God because for me God doesn’t exist. (Why I turned an atheist is a story for some other time).

I BELIEVE IN MYSELF! I BELIEVE IN KARMA!

‘But I do have a Modern day – Ma Durga – in my life and she is – My Mom – and if I believe in any God, that is only my mother’

Some facts about Durga Ma and My Ma as Durga –

Durga Ma – is also identified as Shakti (power), she rides a Lion, which symbolizes unlimited power and she uses that power to fight evil.

My Ma – has been the pillar of our family, I have seen her fighting with the world for underestimating her power as a woman. She was the only working lady in our family full of orthodoxs’. She was the one who wanted me to follow my dreams and always supported my decisions.

Durga Ma – has many hands which depict she protects her devotees from all directions.

My Ma – doesn’t have many hands but she does shield her family from all the evils coming in the way. The way she worked hard for me so that I could get good education, she used to keep awake whole night when I would fell sick and she still comes running to me when I feel lost or scared of some situations which clearly depits how protective she is for us.

Durga Ma – is considered as the Mother of Universe and takes care of everything under it.

My Ma – is now Mother to my husband along with me and also to my baby and is always there for us in the time of need and support. She is the most loving and caring person who is always there for us no matter how far we are, she is in our hearts and is always there in our prayers. We are lucky to have her blessings around us.

Durga Ma – carries a Trishul in her hand which depicts the 3 human qualities – Satwa (inactive state of mind which means more awareness of thoughts), Rajas (energy associated with desires and ambitions) and Tamas (lethargy and stress). They need a balance between them to acquire happiness.

My Ma – doesn’t carry a Trishul but knows how to maintain that balance among these qualities. I have seen her early morning sitting in a meditative pose for hours which she says helps her in being aware, I have seen her working till she got retired and still she has desires and ambitions for which she stays active and I have also seen her stressed keeping awake whole night as she tries to figure the way out of it.

Durga Ma – carries different weapons in her hands which convey that different weapons must be used to destroy different kinds of enemies.

My Ma – has many weapons of virtues like honesty, kindness, loyalty, compassion, courage, modesty, patience, self-dicipline to name a few which she use to fight demons like negativity, arrogance, aggression, fear, judgement, rejection and self-doubt.

I am sure you all agree now, that my mom is no less than Goddess Durga in today’s time. And if I have to worship a God, then she is the only One. Meet my Ma Durga –

• I look up to her for inspiration.
• I get most of my motivation from her.
• She made me learn how to be thankful in any situation.
• My mom showed me how to face my fears and fight them.
• My friend for life, I got my friendship lessons from her.
• She taught me how to laugh away all the pain.
• Showed me the value of a family and described the meaning of true love.
• Mom made me realize what a Mother-child bond is all about.
• She is always there beside me, holding my hand and making the walk easier.
• I am confident as I know she will catch me if I ever have a fall.

Do I need any God when I have my Mom with me always? 

Thanks for reading this post. I hope I didn’t hurt anybody’s feelings by mentioning anything negative or wrong about the Goddess. There are many people who have divine faith in the power of Gods and Goddesses. But I didn’t mean in any way to hurt their sentiments. The views and beliefs are my own and personal.

I want to thank Wiki (Wikipedia) for proving some mythological content to help complete this post!

I also want to confess to the hosts that this was the most difficult of all the prompts. But I still enjoyed writing about it. Thanks for arranging this Blogathon!!!

And my lovely friends and readers if you liked this post, please shower some love in the comments section below. And feel free to share this post. Thanks!

Now, I would like you to meet Sumira Bhatia, my friend, and co-blogger who blogs at cuckoosnest-sumira.blogspot.in. Go check her awesome blog to read what she thinks about today’s prompt.

The post Meri Ma Durga – My MOM (Indian Goddess) appeared first on Growing With Nemit.

The prompt for today’s post is ‘The First Year of My Baby’ and this is my favorite among all the prompts till now as it was the time that changed me completely for good of course. The eventful year made me understand what exactly motherhood is all about. They say you need to be in the shoes of the mother to actually experience what she goes through and that’s what happened with me.

It brings me immense pleasure to share that I, along with 24 other bloggers are celebrating #9daysofwomanhood throughout Navratri. I thank Gagandeep Kochar for introducing me. Her blog is named as My Diaries and I loved reading her blog on the prompt for today ‘First year of my baby‘.

So, I am done with 9 months of pregnancy and 16 hours of delivery and now is the time to do some Bhangra, yay, my baby is out and in my arms and everything will go smoothly as I had wished for, poor mommy brain thinking like all the work is over and now the time is to be back to your old self.

How wrong I was, those long feeding hours started taking a toll on my health, I was sleep deprived to the extent that I fell off the bed twice because I refused to lie down and wanted to keep sitting for the next feeding session, those endless peeing, pooping, cleaning and washing made me felt as if these were going to be my best skills to be stated to others in future.

I describe my baby’s first year as 4 trimesters outside the tummy, into the real world – 1 to 3 months, 4 to 6 months, 7 to 9 months and 10 to 12 months! And today I will share some snippets from each, maybe you (expecting ladies and new mothers) can take some hints and prepare yourself accordingly. Rest others can enjoy reading it!

Trimester – 1

(0-3 months old)

I describe these 3 months as Depressive, I suffered Post Partum Depression from Day 1 we stepped inside the house. It was already the baby’s third day and I was longing for my 8 hrs of sleep but realized that no one could help me in that now. I was given many instructions to be followed for my baby’s health and that included remaining inside the room for 40 days. Then after a week, I felt like a useless machine which was done with its job of producing the baby and now no one needed it. All the attention was showered on the new member. At one moment, I hated my baby for coming into our lives and I blamed him for everything that was happening to me.

Thankfully, Sumit, my husband, noticed the change in my behavior and decided to find out the reason. He asked me, ‘Are you ok, want to talk to me?’ I cried hysterically, the baby started competing with my howls and he cried even louder. And, I told my hubby, how I was feeling neglected, no one was interested to talk to me, to ask me if I needed anything, they were just giving me instructions to get me complete my motherly duties. I expressed my hatred towards that little being and how I was planning to run away leaving the newborn behind.

Are you a new mother? Do you feel the same as I felt? Please talk to someone. Don’t keep things in your mind and don’t assume anything. There are people around you who are your family and they love you. It’s just the faulty hormones that are playing weird And once you discuss your feelings and express your emotions, you will start loving yourself back!

Sometimes, these emotions are nothing but ‘baby blues‘ which typically go away after a week or two. But if that still persist, then you may want to know more about PPD. The depression is very common among new mothers, and its effects can be felt during the first 3 weeks after childbirth. There are treatments available to bring you back to your normal self, but I would suggest talking to someone close and whom you trust the most before considering treatment.

Speaking with my husband worked for me, can work for you too. But, if there is no one who is able to understand you, please take the help of a specialist. Again counseling is what I would suggest before directly starting with medications, so you can consider meeting a Therapist too. By the 2nd month, you will start loving yourself and your baby. And by that time baby will also start babbling, cooing and responding to sounds, which make the experience a lot more fun.

We followed a trend of celebrating our marriage anniversary every month by cutting a cake or having something sweet to eat. Hence, we decided to follow the same for our baby’s monthly birthdays.

I spent the 2nd month in online shopping, buying everything which I thought our baby might need, I bought a cot, a rocker, a pram, a baby carrier, lots of toys, a baby gym, diaper bags, different types of diapers and cloth nappies, every new style of clothes and shoes, bathing tub, fancy quilts and blankets, nursery items and what not. It was my wrong decision and I accept that. My baby made his first ever road trip from Delhi to Amritsar during his 2nd month which was a total fun outing.

You may want to read this article, Must have items for your baby, where I have prepared a list of things which we found really helpful and useful for our baby.

Now came the 3rd month, the baby started looking bigger and acting smart, all the clothes bought in the previous month were not fitting him well and the toys were not as exciting for him the way we expected. He was responding to our facial expressions, would smile and babble as if responding back to us. He started liking his massage time, bath time and tummy time. But, what followed in between all these were the Growth Spurts.

During a growth spurt, your baby will put on weight, reach developmental milestones, feed more, and sleep more or less than usual. Please note, this period can range from few days to few weeks. While we were struggling to understand the pee poo session and colic bombardments, we were hit by these growth spurts.

I have written this article, Do you know what Growth Spurts are? where I have mentioned how you can tell that baby is going through one of these episodes.

Trimester – 2

(3-6 months old)

This is my favorite trimester, the baby finally got a nickname, Noyi, as suggested by his Papa, earlier he had as many names as there were members of the family, everyone had their own favorite name. From this month, Noyi developed a sleep pattern during the day, he would take 3 naps which meant a lot of time for myself.

He started holding his neck for few seconds which was a milestone, he started using his whatever power he had to try to roll over which was again a milestone, his teething phase started as he would drool a lot and most of the times spent hours chewing on his frozen teethers. He loved to shake his rattles and smiling to their sound. There was so much to capture during this month and I loved every minute spent with my baby.

But, the month also brought unwanted advice from elders in the family’ to start the bottle feed as per them the baby was growing and not getting his daily requirements from my milk. That made me furious and mad and I would fight and reason with them but to no use. I had to go invisible for a couple of months just for the sake of my own sanity.

Noyi started crawling during his 5th month.

Although he was still not able to sit on his own, he liked crawling backward and tried to stand just like we elders do. This was the time when we prepared a separate room for him, completely baby proofed, we placed the mattress on the ground and ditched the bed just to avoid any falls, also this was necessary to avoid getting him near to Caesar as Caesar had still not accepted Noyi as part of his pack.

Next month was special. We arranged a family get-together to celebrate our baby’s first 6 months. That day Noyi surprised us by sitting on his own, unassisted. New milestone reached.

Trimester – 3

(6-9 months old)

Next 3 months were beautiful, Noyi had started recognizing me and he was expressing different emotions. It was fun to watch him grow and learn. He developed a liking for songs. His favorite one was ‘If you are happy and you know it‘ and we would play peek-a-boo a lot. The first day after his 6th month birthday, we introduced solid food. And to our surprise, he loved having something that tasted different from breastmilk. It was pure bliss watching him slurp his 1st meal, which was just 3 spoonful of mashed dal!

This was my Birthday month and we planned a trip to Goa, which happened to be Noyi’s first flight, first beach visit, first drenching in rain, first pool dip, first tasting outside food and sprouting first set of teeth. We soon realized Noyi is just like his parents and grandparents who love to travel to new places and meeting new people.

Next 2 months involved lots of new activities which I used to search over the net to make the growing process fun and exciting. These months were also the bonding months for Caesar and Noyi, gradually Caesar developed a liking for Noyi.

You may find this post interesting as I have shared a few tips on Let your baby explore!

Trimester – 4

(9-12 months old)

The past 9 months passed really fast. The next 3 months were for me like I was on a watcher’s duty. The baby was quite mobile and there was no way to stop him from moving around the house. And explore any and every new thing that came in his reach.

Noyi wanted to stand and walk unassisted but he was clearly not ready. And we had to witness a lot of falls. He liked climbing up the sofa, chasing Caesar, pulling his ears. And sometimes would try to chew his tail too.

I want to mention here, we never followed any rituals or practices in the name of tradition. Neither had any other so-called beliefs, we did not know what is Nazar utarna, never did that. We did not believe in the power of black tika and black threads, never used them.

We never used anything to assist easy teething. Luckily, we had a smooth teething phase without using any Tilsmi moti or giving any calcium tablets. And Noyi turned out just fine. He did not fell sick even once during his first 11 months.

It was just before his first birthday, he caught a cold for the first time. As per our pediatrician, getting common cold is actually good for improving baby’s immunity. We followed her advice and didn’t give any medicine to treat it. And to our surprise, he was back to normal within a week. That day we decided to keep the use of medicines as limited as possible. We only used the saline nasal drops and gave steam to provide relief from blockage.

Next month, Noyi was going to complete his 1st year outside the tummy, and that called for A Celebration. And for that, we planned a trip to Malaysia to make his birthday a memorable one. On his D-day, we spent the whole day at an Amusement cum Water Park. And, yet again Noyi surprised us by walking for the first time. Yes, Noyi walked for the first time unassisted on his 1st birthday on some other country’s land. And since then, there is no stopping him!!!

Now, I would like you to meet Sumira Bhatia, my friend, and co-blogger who blogs at The Cuckoo’s Nest. Read her blog on today’s prompt, The Beginning of a Journey! to know about Uday’s first 5 months and read some awesome tips from mommy.

The post Four Trimesters Outside the Tummy – My Baby’s First Year appeared first on Growing With Nemit.

The prompt for today’s post is ‘My Delivery & My Baby’. Whenever I take a walk down the memory lane to the day I was admitted to the hospital for the final verdict, I get a twinge in my heart, those 16 hours and that hospital bed, witnessed me in the worst of agony and distress. But, today, I am going to laugh away that pain and look for some humor in that.

It brings me immense pleasure to share that I, along with 24 other bloggers are celebrating #9daysofwomanhood throughout Navratri. I thank Gagandeep Kochar for introducing me. Her blog is named as My Diaries and I loved reading her blog on the prompt for today ‘My Delivery & My Baby’.

When I delivered a baby in January 2016, I was already a mother to a 9-month-old pup, Caesar, but I did not bring him into this world, he is my baby born from another mother.

So, when I got admitted to the hospital, I already had a little idea what being a mom is all about but what I did not know was, what is it like to give birth to a baby who had rented a place in my tummy for 9-long-months. Though I had read a lot about childbirth and seen numerous videos of live deliveries both natural as well as cesarean but nothing could prepare me for the climax.

Your mind says, if others can do this, you can do it too, whereas your body shouts back at you, “Shut the f*** up mind, we are going to die any moment“. And your poor heart has no idea what emotions to exhibit.

Yes, I felt like I was going to die any minute, I was shouting at the doctors and the sisters for not listening to me, as I wanted them to go-ahead with the surgery and bring the pumpkin out through C-sec, I didn’t care about the pros and cons of anything at that time, actually it didn’t matter at that stage.

It was 6 a.m. when I was almost drained out of energy, words had lost their way, and I hated everyone present near me including my mom. I asked my hubby to bring me something to eat, I was hungry. He went off and suddenly, I felt the urge to poop, (yes, poop and the urge was quite strong), thankfully the doctor was around.

But within a few secs, she started calling the sisters and giving them instructions to prepare the delivery room, while I could sense the panic in her voice, I was smiling because I knew the climax was near.

And, then, I heard her saying, ‘we are not yet prepared and the baby’s head is already showing up’. Oh my God, what did she mean by that? Weren’t they supposed to be prepared all the time? She turned to me and said, “Just hold on for few minutes, and don’t push”. Wow, I always thought one was supposed to push as hard as she can but there the scene was different.

It was 6.30 am when the doctor looked at me, smiled and asked me to push. And I was excited to do that, many delivery scenes from the movies flashed in front of my eyes. (Push, Push, Push harder). But, for me, it was just the second push and the naughty one popped out.

My hubby was back with the packet of chips when I heard the baby cry for the first time. What a timing!!!

There is something which I remember from that day, once the baby was out, I was anxiously waiting to have a glimpse, when doctor brought the baby near, she whispered, “It’s a Boy” and for a second I thought how? I finalized Tisya as the name, and my instincts told me it will be a Girl! Snapped back from the thought train, I kissed my baby and exclaimed, ” And he looks like his Papa!”

So, guys, don’t depend too much on your instincts, they can deceive you. My baby was niether a girl nor looked like me!!!

Hope you liked reading my delivery story and didn’t feel any pain. Do share your experience of childbirth with me in the comments below. I LOVE IT WHEN YOU SHARE!!!

The post PAIN that left a SMILE – My Delivery appeared first on Growing With Nemit.

The prompt for today’s post is to write about ‘My Pregnancy’ and as every other mother, my pregnancy too holds a very special place in my heart. Those 9 months are still fresh in my mind though I am almost going Ghazini day by day. It’s a great opportunity to pen down my memories and retain them forever.

It brings me immense pleasure to share that I, along with 24 other bloggers are celebrating #9daysofwomanhood throughout Navratri. I thank Misha Jain for introducing me. I loved her blog Freshlybakedhead on the prompt for today ‘My Pregnancy’.

May 2015 – Newlywed and The Drama!!!

It was just 3.5 months of our marriage and I was still trying to understand how things work when suddenly you were made in-charge of your new house, my life was set on full exciting mode, knowing that I was finally free to live as I wanted. (Haha, that was my presumption as a newlywed). We were a happy complete family with a month old cute little furry baby – Caesar.

I was not used to working in kitchen but I found satisfaction preparing meals for my family (my husband-Sumit and baby-Caesar) but, that one day was different, I was getting irritated without any reason and got even more irritated to see that Sumit was not noticing what’s happening with me (thanks to the hormones).

And then the unusual happened, our first fight after marriage (no, not the Dhishoom-Dhishoom) and the next moment we were sitting in front of my parents, answering what and why behind all the action and drama. I was crying don’t know why and I was crying even harder if anyone was asking me Why. So that was one weird situation.

Thankfully, my mom is an angel, she interpreted everything was normal and we should do a pregnancy test. However, we were quite positive that the drama had no connection with pregnancy. I was dead sure the whole scene was created because of Sumit not understanding my emotions, he should be able to do that just by sniffing the air around me (again the faulty hormones). Mom’s advice was ignored!

June 2015- Hug, Tears and A Go Ahead!!!

But, for how long? We had to clear the doubt. I spent good 30 mins to read the instructions on the pregnancy kit, somewhere at the back of my mind I was counting my chances, can it really happen this easily with someone who had PCOD? Those 2 pink lines, cleared all dark clouds of thoughts. Strangely, I was emotionless in that moment, didn’t know how to express, I was clearly not prepared for anything. But that hug from hubby changed everything. Oh, my God, I can still feel that tight squeeze, I noticed tears in his eyes and that was the moment of realization and acceptance, I knew we were One Soul now!

Sumit had to attend a training programme for one month at his company’s headquarters in London and he was given a choice to take his family along, now, I had to go, I just couldn’t miss that opportunity to visit the UK. We were waiting at the Doctor’s clinic to get a go-ahead to travel during the 3^rd month of our pregnancy. My gynecologist could see the excitement on my face and after explaining the criticalities of 1st Trimester and a failed attempt to convince me to drop the idea, she gave her consent and wished us luck! (I was flying high)

July 2015 – Most terrifying 15 minutes!!!

Just to fall hard face down! I experienced the worst case of morning sickness, nausea, and vomiting throughout our stay in London, I lost 3 Kgs as I couldn’t eat anything, I had cramps in my lower abdomen and often lose consciousness while walking.

One fine afternoon, I got startled by a sound, it was like a siren, volume gradually increasing to the point I could barely stand it. I was terrified, I dialed the reception but no one picked up the phone, I ran out of the room and noticed that the elevator was not working. I came back to the room huffing and puffing, again dialed and this time someone on the other side of the line informed me that they were having a Fire Drill and all the occupants needed to come out of the building immediately.

I was in pain, I was not able to keep my eyes open, that sound of the siren was deafening and that word ‘immediately’ petrified me, I picked up my mobile and with shaky hands called Sumit and asked him to rush back to the hotel. I gathered some courage (would say courage and strength one gets when they know they have the responsibility of one more life on them) and started walking towards the stairs.

I saw a lady rushing downstairs, she offered me help, which I happily obliged, I was leaning on her, tears were rolling down my cheeks as I saw Sumit entering through the gate and running towards me. I hugged him and cried, he was terrified to see me like that. Those 15 minutes were like a nightmare!

It was the second last day of our stay and till then I hadn’t been to any place outside our hotel because of my poor health but that day was sunny and I was feeling a little better. I asked hubby to take a day’s off and take me to the city tour. The most memorable day of our London visit; spent the whole day roaming around the city, had loads of fun, took hundreds of pictures, the only day I didn’t vomit more than twice.

August & September 2015 – My Grown Up Canine Baby and the Busy Months!!!

We were back to India and I decided to stay at mom’s house that month, we had so much to talk about. This month was the bonding month, we visited our in-laws on all the 4 weekends as everyone was so excited to meet us after hearing the good news. In a month, Caesar had grown from a baby to a toddler and he was too naughty for his age but it was a lot more fun playing with him and looking at his funny activities.

I knew Caesar was a hyperactive boy and would create problems near the end of pregnancy, so I had to spend a lot of time with him to make him feel comfortable with the changes happening around. We had to take the hard decision to leave him with mom till the baby arrives or at least till he gets a little sober and mature.

October 2015 – Baby moon with Family!!!

So, the last month of 2nd Trimester was special, it was Sumit’s birthday and my mother-in-law agreed to come and stay with us for this month. I wanted to make the birthday month special for everyone so planned a weekend stay at a resort in Jaipur which was also pet-friendly. The month was full of activities, I indulged in a lot of art and craft to keep myself happily engaged and came up with another idea of making a big Birthday Card. So, the Trip and the Card were a Surprise for hubby.

Those who want to know more about the Pet-friendly Lohagarh Resort near Jaipur, Click Here!

Last Trimester – Movie Buffs and Parenting Apps!!!

The more I think about the last trimester, the more I realize it was spent mostly in front of the Screen. We are movie buffs and watched a movie or two every weekend on the big screen. Sumit is a great fan of Old Hindi Songs, hence our evenings were spent listening and watching some old melodies and copying the expressions of yesteryear’s beautiful actors, oh I still remember that song ‘Tum agar mujhko na chahogi to koi baat nahi…….’ and Sumit used to act the song and we would dance and laugh, what beautiful memories!

All the other times, when I was alone at home, I would flip through all the pregnancy websites, to gain as much knowledge and information as possible to make my delivery and post-pregnancy experience smooth. There’s no pregnancy app which I hadn’t downloaded.

Sites which I used to surf are Baby Center, Mom Junction, What to expect and now I can add Babychakra App to the list too as I have been using it for quite some time now and it’s one of the best apps I have come across.

19 January 2016 – The Wait is Over!!!

Meet the Dude who spent 9 months inside my tummy and almost equal 9 months inside Papa’s head! Oh and yes, Caesar was not happy at all, maybe he was expecting a Baby Sisterrrr!!!!

Hope you all enjoyed reading My Pregnancy Story. Now I would like to hear stories of your 9 months or something special about your pregnancy. Share below in the comments. Looking forward to getting more emotional!

And now, I would like you to meet Sumira Bhatia, who blogs at The Cuckoo’s Nest. I loved her Pregnancy Story- From the Womb to the World! Check out her blog now!!!
