Royal vadhaiyan!

If you thought the royal birth made only the Britons happy, you must read this...
It was the most awaited arrival of this year…and it's well delivered to expectations. Kate Middleton, Duchess of Cambridge has finally given birth to the third, in succession, heir to the royal throne of England as she bore a son on Monday. While the royals accompanied by their more common Brit citizens' entourage spoilt themselves silly over the anticipated royal birth, it's not just England that broke out in celebration over the news.Sharing an undeniable connection that our subcontinent flaunts with Britain and Briton, it was also time for the dhol to resonate in India; with specific accent on this part of the country, Punjab and Chandigarh. As news of the royal baby went viral, people couldn't help contain their enthusiasm.
"My day began with a phone call from my brother who lives in London. The first thing he said was, 'Vadhaie hove bhenji, the Prince (William) and Duchess are parents to a son'. Since he sounded so excited, I didn't have the heart to make light of the news, which obviously has no bearing on my life," says Satwant Sekhon, resident of Sector 34, Chandigarh. Though for Sekhon this may not be overtly exciting, the fact that the royal baby is a world celebrity has fired conversations even before he was born.
Ritika Gulati and Sachi Gupta, 22, working in a call centre in Industrial Area, Mohali, found it hard to stay away from checking twitter and internet updates all through their night shift on Monday night, since Kate was in labour for several hours through the night. "The whole aura around the couple has been so exciting since they are the only living, recognisable royals in the world. It has been very long since the last royal event in the Buckingham Palace…so naturally, Kate's child was a captivating subject," says Sachi.
If electronic media, besides social networking sites, were buzzing with the happy news all of Monday, personal interactions took on royal, celebratory hues too. "It seemed as if greetings like 'Goodmorning, namaste' etc had been replaced by 'Do you know, Kate has had a son?'," laughs Ankita Singh, a student, "My cousins in London added this new to their FB page and I saw so many of our other relatives from Punjab, besides their friends, liking it. Just shows how popular the news was!"
But the better news is, this celebration is unlikely to end here. With this being the first child of the royal couple, people are already expecting more siblings to follow, thus completing the royal brood!
