She was born into the "Malhan" Family during the Monsoons in "Farsh Majra" a small village in the Aurangabad district of Haryana.
She was the youngest of her six sisters and was named Megha ---- The Rains.
When Megha was born, her father, Baapuji, as they called him, had cried, "Oh Lord! What have I done to have 7 girls and not a single boy?"
Her mother, they called her Maaji, had said, "I must have been a very bad person in my past life to receive such a curse in this life"
The entire family, then, went to the Kali Mata Mandir, where Maaji prayed to the Goddess Kali for a boy and sure enough, a few months later,on a cold December night, a boy was born. They named him Aakash --- the sky. Maaji though, died at child birth. The Malhan Family, considers the day of Aakash's birth, as an auspicious one, because Goddess Kali had relieved Maaji of all her sins and given the family a baby boy.
Aakash, since then, was the pampered one. Always given the best of clothes, the bigger fish, proper shoes. He was the one who was taken to the local fair while his sisters were left behind at home to wash the clothes or to cook the food. Infact, Aakash was the first among his siblings to receive proper education.
"My son will become an Engineer when he grows up" Baapuji would claim proudly.
Aakash got all the love that his sisters longed for. He was the Apple of his Father's Eyes. He was the Loved one.
