ETA: This post won the "Honorable mention award" for the #55wordchallenge2014 for #weekfifteen . Truly a win for me too as it was my first attempt at the challenge. Check out the winner and overachiever for the same challenge here.

“Congrats!” said Richa "It’s a girl."
“I've truly won!” gushed Tushar.
