Sorry this took forever but since I was out of commission that weekend (swine flu fears) I had to wait till the hosts posted their pictures on Facebook. Ace designer Arshiya Fakih Eappen had a lovely baby shower last month with all her favorite girls (and hubby Rij Eappen) including sister Aliya Jaffer, Nisha Harale Bedi, Gayatri Khanna, Cookkie Khanna Ghai, Amrita Daru, Shibani Rokadia, Suchitra Pillai, Anushka Manchanda, Mona Hinduja, Anchal Kumar, Mridula Chandrashekhar and Anshuma Lal. Looks like they had a blast (and just image how stylish this baby is going to be!)
Nice to see that Arshiya seems to be in the perfect frame of mind, “I’m due on 9th October so it could happen anytime after two weeks. I’m very excited but also a bit nervous. Rij and myself have taken our time to have this baby so we are super excited about everything and anything! I’m also excited because its been a beautiful experience in terms of personal growth.”
I was also curious to know what Rij’s take on fatherhood would be, here’s what he said! “I guess along with the baby, its going to be the birth of a father. I am however, hoping the baby will come with a manual…! I’m a bit surprised at how ecstatic and excited I am… getting impatient now… who’d have thought eh?”

Sick! Just received a brand-new Pearl and I can now read your blog on my phone’s browser, it didn’t get the job done on my previous one.
