chikoo the perfect host

Yes, we have guests who come to see the new baby. Even some relatives who have kept studiously away, citing busy schedule throughout the year, for a few years in a row, make a beeline to see chikoo. There is something utterly fascinating to see a newborn.Maybe it is a typical Indian psyche.I would not know otherwise.

Once they come, they are transfixed by the utter charm of seeing a tiny infant.Ladies and girl kids want to hold the baby and take him in their lap.They start talking to the baby in gibberish language all the time happy and smiling . Men and boys usually are quite happy to sit in the drawing room and talk about politics.The baby is sleeping does not bother them. They have come visiting and they have done their bit.Now they can safely move on to saner topics in life!

Chikoo takes his job as a host quite seriously. He smiles at them and is quite happy to be cuddled and talked to. He likes that he can see new and happy faces around.He  gets into overdrive to gurgle and make funny sounds to the baby talk that they indulge in. He is trying to turn now, so he rolls on the side and tries to arch his body. He of course puts his entire fist into his mouth and continues to smile.
He forgets that it is long past his sleep hour(that we believe and try to cajole him into) and keeps going,  entertaining the guests and simultaneously getting entertained. He keeps yawning and his eyes are dropping but he fights it off valiantly.

The guests leave and only then he remembers that he is just a 3 month old baby and he needs to sleep and rest. D has taken him to his room. Awaiting positive  results!
