There is this one particular department on my floor where the employees are always having babies. No, I don't mean to say that the employees are giving birth in the department, during office hours. But seriously. So far, during the three weeks that I've been here, there have already been at least three babies whose births have brought glad tidings into this world and sentenced their parents to years of Pamper-ing (the brand, not the verb) and putting wailing tomato-faced cherubs to sleep. To celebrate the occasion, boxes of greasy mithai (sweetmeats) promptly arrived, carried in by peons who were by then tired of distributing them to everyone in the entire office.I don't really like mithai. Gulab jamuns maybe, but nothing else. So every time a wimped out peon would offer me some from a box, I'd disdainfully survey the globs of mithai swimming in sheer (syrup) and politely decline. My friend Emma interns in another department, and time and again she's been boasting about boxes of Lindt and other chocolates that have been coming to her office and how successfully she's managed to swipe a number of them. So my interest in these babies eventually declined.
But today, an employee in Emma's (fellow intern) department has had a son. And Emma has promised to pester him until he gets chocolates to distribute in the office. Let's call this employee Daddy. Apparently, Daddy had told everyone that his wife was expecting, and since he's new, this kind of stayed in everyone's minds. It's hardly been two weeks since Daddy has joined, but he's been trying to be popular. While this is an insanely joyous occasion for him, it does have a downside. He now has a new nickname - Daddy- and whenever anyone calls him that, he pouts like a petulant five year old and childishly admonishes 'I'm not a daddy. No, I'm not.'

The word "Non-existent" is a copyright of Kanwalful co. I will sue you, evil teacher of Anees Hussain. ;)
You're surrounded by new parents and I'm surrounded by brides...I don't know which is worse. You have to listen to all this babbling about the baby or wedding and it always sounds mindless to me. :P

Roxie: Haha, new brides must be quite bad too. Although here brides get very busy with their new family, so we don't get to hear that much from their side.
Emma: Haha, OMG I can't believe that someone actually said that to Daddy! :O And jee nahin, technically the hot guys sit in departments next to your's, so boo back :P
Saira: There's acually only one hot guy, but you're at the end of the floor like me, so we don't get to see the sights that often :P
