Sports: Viswanathan Anand becomes a father
New Delhi April 13: Viswanathan Anand, the World Chess Champion, has decided
to stay away from his game of glory for a month as he became a proud father
of a boy on Saturday. Anand told a national daily that he has no idea what
this will mean for his schedule since wife Aruna has been like his full
time manager for the last 15 years that they have been married. "I'll
have to learn a few new things pretty fast. I will enjoy doing all the baby
things and being around Aruna and Akhil. We are a bit tired, partly because
we have been so excited, but there is no joy that can match that of becoming
parents. We have waited for this moment," Anand said.

New Delhi, April 13: It's going to be a rare April for world champion
Viswanathan Anand as he has decided to stay away from chess for the rest
of the month. The change of priority came at 6.35 am on Saturday, when wife
Aruna delivered a boy. And to make it a family of ‘As’, the
first-time parents have decided to call him Akhil. “We haven’t
told many people about Akhil’s arrival. We are on top of the world,”
Aruna told The Indian Express today.
We've known Vishy like forever. In 1996 he married Aruna in a ceremony that lasted three days and saw thousands of guests in Chennai, India. We were present.
