It was our three-month ultrasound. We thought it would be like the movies, where you look at an ultra hi-def screen and the baby is crystal clear. It felt like a big moment. I had left work early that afternoon and was hoping to get back quickly. After all, it was just a routine visit, or so I thought. We checked in and were shown into the examination room. The nurse asked Hema to lie down on the bed. She applied gel and began moving the probe across her abdomen, looking for a heartbeat. Her reaction made us realize something was wrong.

  1. Hi Praveen,

    I guess you are finally catching up with me. By the way do you still think that Sharon Stone was not the killer in Basic Instict? We can argue about it if you still think so. Hope you understood the movie Momento. You still have to see Usual Suspects and Equilibrium.

  2. Praveen,
    A persons who thinks Academy & Oscar are two diferent Awards has no right to watch & talk about Hollywood Movies . I suggest you to Forget all those English movies that you have on your wishlist for this holidays and watch how many ever Tamil & Hindi movies you want and sail in see of euphoria.
