It is not everyday that a La Narayan Moorty visits your cocoon and leaves you amazed.
Last week my first maternal uncle's son visited us. My sister and I were suppose to be his tour guides and entertainers for the week. Normally we do not have issues taking relatives for a mumbai darshan and pani puri treat, but taking this one was different. It meant hearing comparisons throughout the trip, can be positive or pessimistic. He is all but 14 and a rising IT star already. He eats,sleeps,drinks and craps IT (ok that was a little exaggerated), he started dreaming of IT at 9 and started taking classes and working towards it by the age of 12.Which mean by the time he finishes schooling he will be all jet-set-ready-thunder capture IT. At 14 he thinks he is smart enough to comment about a lot of things under the global roof, most of the time he is!. He has opinion on right from Mallya to malayalam. You do occasionally feel frustrated at the over confidence shown by the chap, mightveven wish to pull his hair and punch those pearls wrapped in an iron wiring.But you cant deny that he is all set to be a responsible adult, and an agent who can has the ability and determination to make a difference. He tends to get on your nerves when he croackes that Gautam Gambhir is a very casual player and incidental comments about the match to be played of IPL. He would deeply want the RCB to loose simply because Mallya owns it.
The glamourous tycoon is all but a stupid fella to him. Now you do wish you could you not just raise your voice but a stick and shower him with a few blows. But you really cant for three major reasons, one - you have been showered with immense love and affection by his parents, two -your parents love the chap , three- Oh that confidence.
Then there are times when you wonder- was he ever a kid or may be you are a disordered baby. The situation includes both of them. At 19 i lack half of the confidence he struts. Clearly a disorder baby since school and college, a paranoid since then, its amazing to see the chap sport such confidence. When he first started with his 'Oh-i-know-when-you-might-burb-episode' , i did wish to burn him bald. But the little thing for sure aint little.
Anyway my little Narayan Moorty for sure going to be one in future coz neither do his dreams nor habbits will let him waver, remember eat,sleep,drink IT.
Well he can hogg on oodles of ice cream and gola, can be choosy about his food and i guess loooobes pokemon, boy! atleast something like a 14 year old.
