A New Chapter In My Life

April 24, 2010
By

Have you ever been peed upon, shitted upon, kicked, and punched…all at the same time? This is part of my routine now. And it’s awesome.

Yes, my little one loves me.

The best thing that ever happened to me. My own little bundle of joy.

I am a dad. Say hi to AD Jr.

He has already started staring at the laptop greedily. Sometimes i wonder whether he finds it an alluring target for testing the laws of projectile motion, or is he just raring to try out all that Java i taught him while he was stretching in there.

Of course he needs a name. I proposed a name starting with double AAs. That would put him on top of any alphabetical list, which helps. Except during college vivas where you end up becoming the scapegoat, and everybody else benefits from your experience.

Somehow the family didn’t quite go with it. Whats wrong with being called aakraman? Nobody in the right frame of mind would dare mess with my boy with a name that means ‘attack’!

Oh well…whats in a name anyway?

Being a father rocks. Life is good.

    @Prerna – Thanks. That’s so sweet of you!

    @Dev @Kavi – Thanks!

    @Perx – :) Thanks!

    @Usha, @Reema, @Dids, @RDB – Thanks!

    @Puneet – Thanks! And dont worry, the wont let me name him Aakraman even if i wanted.

    @Dinu – Thanks! That’s an apt corollary ;)

    @Lata – :)

    @Solilo – Enjoying is an understatement. My life has turned on its head. Thanks for the wishes!

    @ms – Thanks! So your son is named Aryaman. Nice! Aakraman would make a nice brother. Their team would sound like a tag team from Mahabharata!

    @Vijay – Drool will come later. For now he cant wait to pee on the keyboard! Thanks :)

    @Kiran, @Smitha – Thanks!
