The Pied Piper.

Remember Robert Browning's famous poem 'The Pied Piper of Hamlin'?

Hamelin Town's in Brunswick...
By famous Hanover city...

And who can forget the Pied Piper of Hamlin. Though he played a different music on his pipe and led away all the children of Hamlin when the mayor and council members refused to pay him a thousand guilders.

Last night a Diwali party got me thinking of the Pied Piper. The crowd comprised of serious drinkers and serious teen patti players. They were married couples, singles and couples with children.

Now all the children somehow seem to get attracted to Mr. G.

They stare at him with a wonderment in their eyes.

He makes faces, they make faces.

They smile, he smiles.

He laughs, they laugh.

What is it... What is it... I ask that draws kids to Mr. G like the Pied Piper?

The chubby cheeks I suppose.

Kids like huge bug-bears.

And isn't Mr. G the cutest bug-bear on two legs!!

So that explains the affinity between Mr. G and Lil ones. (This is purely my theory)

AND

Am I glad it is not PYT's in next-to-nothings who feel this way towards him.
