Rock-a-bye baby Prem

It's really a perfect time for treat. It's been a week since we had a treat. It is a loooooong gap for us. So when we were looking who is going to give the treat, I got a call from my cousin brother. It's good news. This top management guy who keeps on looking at the customer relationship has got a new relationship and he is promoted to Father. Now he has to learn to sing "Rock-a-bye baby" rather than making charts to his peers. Its time for him to change the baby's diapers than to change the projection charts for the day. A busy man commanding all the day at office is going to have sleepless nights listening to the crying of the baby. I am very happy to hear the news.


As delighted as I am, I sent the message along with my morning SMS forwards to all my friends. That's it. Before afternoon, I had an army invading my cubicle. The army consisted of Silpa, Veena, Ramesh and Gokul. That's a big army. I felt my base (pocket) trembling. As the army approached my cubicle, I understood their target. Treat. I tried to show a fight. But with the big army approaching, I was defenseless. First we had a small talk. I was not ready to surrender. I am not the person who should give treat today. It's my brother. I was trying to redirect the missiles to my brother. But the target couldn't be changed in those self guided missiles. Damn it. When I tried to put a fight, Gokul held me away from the system and Ramesh was writing a mail from my system. The mail was short and sweet. "Coffee Day treat today My Brother had a sweet baby boy…." The missile is sent and it hit the target. Mission complete. Happily they went to their base waiting for my surrender. And I did the same.


The treaty of new born baby party was formed by 5:00 PM and there was the treat in Amul. We enjoyed the party and we had a nice time as usual with me doing the honor of paying the bill. The funniest thing was we were shooting pictures with my new digital camera and I got the funniest cartoon faces that anyone may need (lighter side please). To add to the fun, Silpa took photos of me paying the bill. When we saw the photo, we were no where to be seen. There was only a girl in focus. And at last, after searching with a magnifying glass, we could see me and Ramesh at some corner in that photo. Great photography from Silpa. With all laughs and treat we left back to your cubicles thanking and wishing the new born baby who made everyone's day happier.



PS: I really wanted to give treat on this special occasion but I felt that I was not the right person as it was my brother who has to give the treat. That's why all this fuss. Welcome to this wonderful world by Nephew.
