GOTHAM HORNS AND HIS BABY


GOTHAM HORNS AND HIS BABY

Gotham Horns keeps saying, “I am not always right but I am never wrong”. The fact that these very words have been also heard from Garfield should be taken as an example that he possesses a great mind that thinks much like the one of the cartoon cat!
The other day he did a Sherlockian tour-de-force! As the three of us were strolling in Patel Nagar, and were discussing about our career prospects Gotham halted all of a sudden and declared, ‘the baby is now 6 months old!’
In the next couple of minutes, I and Md. Sheen were busy locating the baby in question. We looked from the bosom of one female to another but could not zero in any infant! Thus we could only take Gotham’s words at face value and turned our gazes back to him, mine with enacted awe and Md. Sheen’s with overwhelming wonderment like the ever-willing pupil that he is, and we sought enlightenment together.
Gotham enjoys such unhindered opportunities of being didactic! He began, ‘of course the baby was 70cms long and looking at her mother, who was wearing decent make-up and a dress of Vero Moda, I presume they belong to the upper middle class and thus the baby gets proper nutrition from those substantial breasts, to ensure that it has had decent growth according to the charts! Then again, the baby smiled back at her mother revealing only two central incisors and no more teeth and was utterly restless looking here and there in response to the sounds of all the vehicles around! If only you could have seen the confusion in the eyes of the mother while buying supplementary cereal, you would have known that it was her first time! Lastly, the baby smiled back at me too and called pa-pa!’
All of Gotham’s explanations were right and Md. Sheen had surrendered to the tirade of resounding arguments with widely open eyes!
