HAPPY
.... Shakuntala, Ramajit and their two boys.
FARM labourer Ramajit
Raghav, 96, who became the world's oldest dad two years ago, has set new standards
of virility following the birth of his second son. But his 52-year-old wife
Shakuntala Devi is no slouch in the fertility department either.
According to The Times Of
India, she gave birth to a healthy baby named Ranjeet at a primary healthcare centre
on 5th October. The couple from the northern India state Haryana—about 50km
from Delhi—welcomed their first child, Vikramajeet, in November 2010.
Ramajit told reporters that
when he walked up to the doctors and revealed he was the father, they all burst
into laughter. "They just laughed, but they were very surprised. What can
I do? This is all God's wish," said the proud papa.
Having received his
"two gifts from God", Ramajit has decided that God's been generous
enough, so Shakuntala will be undergoing a tubectomy operation—a permanent
contraception surgical procedure to prevent pregnancies.
Despite getting thinner as
he nears his century mark, Ramajit was apparently a wrestler in his younger
days, and he has high hopes for his sons, according to The Mirror. "I have
been a farmer all my life," he said. "I want them to become high
ranking government workers."
He also said that a daily
diet of almonds, butter and milk has kept him sexually active right through his
twilight years.
"My neighbours are jealous
and they keep asking me for my secret," he revealed. "I do it three
to four times a night. I'm healthy and I enjoy sex with my wife. I think it's
very important for a husband and wife to have sex regularly."
Until he met Shakuntala 22
years ago, Ramajit said he had remained a bachelor. "But she didn't have
any family or friends around, so I wanted to help her," he recalled.
"We fell in love later."
Shakuntala believes she
would have been dead by now if not for Ramajit's caring ways. "It doesn't
matter how old he is, I love him and I care for him dearly even, though he
shouts at me sometimes," she said.
"He doesn't seem old to
me, he can make love like any 25-year-old man, even better because he can go on
all night, and he makes a wonderful father." (The Times Of India)
