As I try and gather my words to write this piece among all the happiness and excitement that I derived from that one phone call today morning. I was longing for this moment for a long time now. It all started when one fine Sunday morning a few years back, when I was on a mission of cleaning my dwelling den (very unusual of me of doing so), when I knocked off a window pane in my apartment and the result being all the glass pieces scattered on the common pathway in my society. Seeing a few kids play around in the vicinity, I rushed down and started collecting all the fruits (read glass pieces) borne from my latest endeavor. While me at work, I saw a shadow of a tiny giant, well it turned to be one later, when I heard a voice 'Aho Kaka hey tumhi kay kartay' (It requires a big heart to translate these words for you ? It means 'What are you doing UNCLEEEE') UNCLEEEE (Kaka) never sounded so dangerous to me before and never ever had I felt so shocked, panicked, scared and overwhelmed by that small giant. I never bothered (or even had the courage) to have a glance at the little Godzilla and just completed my work at double the speed and rushed off to my cozy bed. On the bed there I sat and looking in the mirror and searching for a few grey hair that prompted that kid to say so. That day's tryst ith destiny, slowly but surely has made me realize that I was not one of those from the carefree little champs clan now (My good old parents had been trying so hard and long that I realized that - but in vain). This incident has made me mature from a boy to a man (and this has nothing to do about my biological maturity which I had gained read that gifted approximately a decade ago). Well we were talking of some phone call at the start of the page and the phone call was from my good old friend Amlya who was nothing short of ecstatic, when he disclosed this news that he had a son and he called the newly born a STAR.
Its not that I was an uncle earlier and few of my cousins have college going kids already, but I was never so close to unclehood earlier (Well, I rue the fact that I was about 170 kms aways from the newly born and hence couldnot be of more help to the parents apart from recharging my friends mobile account - Now I remember, Amlya, pay me those bucks, mate). Here was this ghantoo friend of mine (well does fatherhood deserve more respect??) disclosing this amazing news to me. The new father and yours truly were mutual companions to those hangouts where we believed that we would have a rendezvous with our lifepartners and then would happily part off from our companionship with the hangouts. Alas, I am still in pursuit for that divine encounter with my soulmate after Amlya betrayed me and married off to Preeti - read pretty (no explanations required) read pity (uh!! she is married to Amlya). This blog was only intended to introduce to you a young new web celebrity. As I anxiously and excitably await that moment when I meet that little champ, I would promise you to feature him a lot more in this space in the time to come. Before closing off for today, this moment in life, 1010 , has really turned on my grey cells (well now I do breed a few grey hair too on my head) and I have already started wondering and asking myself - 'Who would that unfortunate girl be, who would give birth to my child', 'Am I ready to be a father myself ?', 'How will having a baby change my life?', 'How will I pay for all the things our baby will need if I continue spending so much time on the net' Forget it blokes, today I am now officially an UNCLEEE and am not scared too! :)
