Baby Sippy' Diary - Chapter 4
I’m sorry for disappearing out of the blue. But I was going through a tough time. I finally know how complicated love can be. With panchi leaving the Sippy mansion, I felt as if someone snatched away my favorite baby Ferrari that dad gifted me last month. Oh the heartbreak! Every corner of the Sippy mansion my gaze lands on, I see Panchi toddling with that cute little dimple on her left cheek. Oh how I miss having cerelac with her. How i miss watching Arthur with her ...that was our first cartoon date! Sigh. I had also decided to go on hunger strike so that mom and dad could get panchhi back because clearly they have got the message that i loved her company...but that didn’t last more than 2 hours. Hunger strike is a huge commitment and god knows, i can’t stay hungry. I mean I need to maintain my body for the chicks i meet at these random parties mom and dad take me. So hunger strike is out of the question

So guys, the other day pari maasi came to our house and it was quite fun playing with her. She also got me a nice T-shirt that said ‘coolest kid in town’. Must say pari maasi knows my value quite well.
She asked my mom if she could take me upstairs and play with me and when she got the permission, she took me to rohan chachu’s room. I don’t know why she would take me to his room when my room has all the toys. Silly maasi! And then rohan chachu kept looking at our direction with intoxicated eyes and i wondered if tanya chachi hypnotized him as a punishment. Tanya chachi seems a little strict with him these days anyway so i wouldn't be surprised if she did that to her. It could also be that I looked more dashing than him and so he was caught off guard. Could be either.
Anyway, I didn’t know rohan chachu liked me so much because in one swift motion she tugged at Maasi’s wrist and we both landed on his bed. And then he looked at me, kissed my forehead and looked at pari maasi and said “time to close your eyes baby” and he covered her eyes with his hands. For the first time I realized rohan chachu is half blind because clearly the only baby in this room is me but he closed pari maasi’s eyes. Anyway, what followed after had left me traumatized. He filled maasi’s face with kisses and the flashback of that fat aunty squishing my face with kisses came back at me.
“Ahh...ro...rohan st...stop it….oh...mmm... I missed you so much..mmm”
And at that moment, i figured out that Rohan chachu is half deaf as well because obviously maasi was asking him to stop and chachu being blind AND deaf could neither see nor hear that the one you’re showering kisses upon is Pari maasi.i felt like i needed to protect my maasi. Those kisses were for me anyway and I can't let anyone suffer because of me. I am Rohit Sippy’s son and protecting girls is in my genes. So i kicked chachu with my strong puffy legs and I felt my heart swelling in pride when i heard him groan.
He looked at me accusingly and then tweaked my nose with his finger, “naughty boy!”
Height of being ungrateful chachu! I just saved both of you and you accuse me of being naughty? You need to learn a lot of manners from mom.
To my relief Tanya chachi came in and rohan chachu and pari maasi quickly composed themselves. They must have realized what just happened because they both started stuttering and didn’t know what they were saying...and I think Pari maasi got the the most trauma because she started calling rohan chachu “Rohan bhaiya” all of a sudden. Poor maasi, my heart goes out to her.

Pooji bui is a sweetheart. She often takes me out for a walk in my stroller in the afternoon. It’s been quite an experience to have a ride in that stroller. For the past one week, we have been going to this ice cream shop because she must have figured that i loveeee that pistachio ice cream she once made me try last week. We bumped into pulkit mamu that day and i was pleasantly surprised. Mamu played with me while talking to bua. And since that day, we have been bumping into pulki mamu every single day. Such a big coincidence eh? But no complaints. I love pulki mamu’s company as much as I love Pooji bui's. And best part is I never see pooji bui smile and laugh as much as she does with pulki mamu. I mean she’s the mamu of Anch Sippy and it is only natural that he got my genes when it comes to making other’s smile.
I’m not the kind of person to eavesdrop. But how can you just block your ears when they’re practically sitting 2 meters away from me. Plus the conversation was quite interesting to hear.
“Hey how’re you”, pulki mamu greeted. And what do i see?! Pulki mamu was blushing. C’mmon mamu, you don’t get to blush being anch sippy’s uncle!
“heyyyy!!” , pooji bui greeted him as if she wasn’t expecting him in the icecream shop. C’mmon bua, you need to learn how to predict. I mean we have been bumping into him for the past 6 days.
Pooji bui went and hugged him just like every other day and as usual, mamu looked like he would melt into a puddle any moment. Oh mamu, she won’t eat you up. She’s my bui!! She’s one of the nicest people I know.
“So we meet again!” , pooji bui chimed as she smiled.
“Y...yeah.”, mamu shrugged.
“How’s your internship going? I hope rohit isn’t being a pain in the butt”
Mamu chucked before replying, “Jiju is one hell of a strict boss. But can’t complain because he’s all fair”
“Hmm. that he is.”
“How’s your modeling going? Got any new assignment?”
“Uhh...yeah, i got an email from this company it looks like i will be going for it”
“Cool cool! I’m sure you will do amazing.”
“You think? I don’t know i’m… so nervous”, bui sighed as her face covered with distress and she put her face in her palms.
“Hey…” , mamu covered her hand and made her look at him, “I know it’s hard but I know you are one confident and determined woman. You will do great, trust me”
Bui looked like she was searching something in my mamu’s face. She stared at him for far too long before smiling, “Thank you! I needed that”
I can’t see bui in pain. Just like i can’t see mom sad. And i was so proud of mamu at that time when he made my bui smile. I squeaked and spread my arms at him and he craned his head around to stare at me before taking me on his lap. And I wasted no time to lick his cheeks as a gesture of love and gratitude as pooji bui giggled at the scene.

I have been todling quite well these days and I have started exploring the sippy mansion on my own. Dad put a fence near the stairs because apparently i have become really naughty and might fall off the stairs. But let’s be real dad, you just don’t want me to come downstairs and interrupt you when you are having your moment with mom in the kitchen. I can’t believe he is still jealous of me. Goodness!
Today I have decided to explore YK and Nishi Bua-dadi’s room. I toddled my way towards the room and creaked the door open. I couldn’t find YK anywhere but that wasn’t the problem because i wasn’t here for him anyway. I was searching for my crayons that got lost out of the blue. You guys shoulved seen what a pro I am when it comes to drawing and painting. Mom calls me Pable Picasso whenever I paint something. I wonder who that guy is. Doesn’t seem like someone from our family since he doesn’t have ‘Rastogi’ or “sippy’ tagged with his name but must be someone nice because mom calls me that with a lot of pride. Mom also wants to laminate and hang my paintings in my room to which dad got absolutely nuts over saying “you must have lost your mind that you want to hang these doodles and random lines on the wall, sona”.
THAT is quite an offensive thing to say dad! Do you even know how much effort i put into all these painting?! I can’t belueve he just called my painting doodles and random lines. I bet you have never even drawn a sun in your life.
Right now i am under nishi bua-dadi’s bed and I still can’t find my crayons. As i come out, i come across a view that i wish i had never seen in my entire 7 months.
Nishi bua-dadi is infront of me right now and she has her eyes as big and elongated as the egg of an ostrich. She is twisting her head from left to right and she is gritting her teeth as she says something that is obviously going on deaf ears since i am too traumatized to hear even the sound of an atom bomb. The underneath of her eyes has been turned extra black for some reason. Her nails has gotten extra long and pointy which must be to trap her prey and they have been turned into different colours - yellow, green, red, blue, pink. She went nuts and she started smashing all her expensive cosmetics and showcases on the floor. She looked furious as though she has missed to catch her prey for the night as she screams at the top of her lungs that sounded something like my mom's name which of course wasn't
And I didn't have much time to ponder upon what she screamed because it was so loud and monstrous that I was petrified to the point that i peed in my pants. I toddled out of the room as fast i could, running for my life.
With great sorrow, I, Anch Sippy, make this announcement that Our beloved Nishi Bua-Dadi has turned into a vampire!
