A father is born..


Child is the father of man, but you don't realise it till you are a father yourself. A father is born when he queues up at the nursery to take a peek at his own child. He sees total strangers visiting relatives at the hospital take some time out to take their children to view babies at the nursery. The kids remark about how the baby looked at them, coughed, cried, smiled. But you have to await your turn after the little ones have finished admiring your latest creation. And when your turn comes, all you get to see is that your baby is sleeping soundly. And yet, you want to stand there forever. Till you are told that it's now past visiting hour.
