Oldest dad becomes father again at 96
No, it’s not Larry King. I checked.
KHARKHODA (SONIPAT): Miracles happen and Ramajit Raghav is there to prove it. The farm hand claimed on Monday that he was the oldest person to father a child at the age of 96. What’s more, he has done it for the second time in a gap of less than two years; Raghav was blessed with his first child in November 2010.
On October 5, Raghav’s 52-year-old wife Shakuntala Devi gave birth to their second male child at a primary health centre in the town. The child is doing fine and is with his parents in their one-room accommodation on the city outskirts.
Raghav had expressed his desire for a second son soon after the birth of his first whom he named Vikramjeet. Although he was elated over birth of the second child, named Ranjeet, he has now decided to make his wife to undergo a tubectomy operation.
Claiming to have become a father at the oldest age, Raghav pointed out that he had remained a bachelor and practised celibacy throughout his life until he met Shakuntala about 10 years ago. “After staying together, we decided to extend our family and aspired for two sons. With God’s grace, our wish has been fulfilled,” said Raghav, sporting a thick unkempt beard.

We should all hope to be as virile in our old age as this working 96-year-old farm hand.

When Ramajit & Shakuntala have a falling out, they just change positions and let it fall back in.

He must be the farm mechanic. Imagine naming your firstborn after the first fuel injection units for a Corvette.

Love the byline: KHARKHODA (SONIPAT) Wow, I spent spring break there my sophomore year!
I fight real hard to not be the stereotypical American when it comes to geography but in this case, I would have equally informed had they printed HOLE (HELL).

I luv bacon. Your remark is out of line, a vast majority of Indians are not muslims and to assume that this guy is, does not help anything in this world. It is comments like that that lets libs say we are the uninformed.

@stevie, you’re on a roll today, kid. LOL!
@red, he dodged the bullet all those years and then succumbed.
Probably a ‘shotgun wedding’. Dirty dog.
