Deejay, the Chitthappa !!

25th June of this year will be written in our family history books as an outstandingly memorable day, for twas on this day, that the Lord chose to "open the windows of heaven and pour us out a blessing, that we could not find room enough to receive it". It is quite special in that it saw the twin events of the emergence of Ajith Junior (my brother's first kid) into this world and the long awaited coronation of this blogwriter as "The Chitthappa" at the same time.

The day however, woefully saw me yet strung to my office till late in the evening, busy as a bee, equipping my Leadership with a few key Regional updates to be made to the soon-to-visit CEO of our company. With the work finally done, I was updating my calender and was about to close shop when the mobile suddenly whirred in my pocket. A lazy drawl-of-a-"hello" from my side was enough to cause my jubiliant Mom, who was already besides herself with joy by then, to bubble forth and spill the news of Junior's timely and safe arrival instantly all over me. The tidings was such sweet music to the ears that I let her generously drench me with it all over again a few more times, and even as we shared the joy, we glorified our good Lord for remembering our earnest pleas and prayers. Since then I couldn't wait to get my arms around him in his swathing bands, but wasn't able to until the evening of yesterday. So, I managed my first date with Junior only on the 27th, but nonetheless relished every minute of my time to the uttermost when I giggled, chuckled, whistled, cooed, hooted and made faces to him, letting loose my immature peurile insticts that had remained bridled in me for quite a while. It would've been sheer fun to carry on with him late into the night, but, he had already done his dinner, was yawning like a walrus and was slowly downing his shutters for the night with his soft whimpers. So, amidst unfinished discussions about his first name I retired last night having promised him Chitthappa's return very soon and thereafter quite often.
