prominent signs of ageing such a excessive wrinkles and rough skin
texture." However, The parents of the baby are said to be jubilant with
the birth of their "miracle" child. Biswajit Patro, father of the
baby, who is a farmer, is ecstatic and cannot hold back his happiness.
"We can only thank God," the father said.

house."

attending to guests curious to get a glimpse of their newborn. "We have

even people from neighboring villages have come to see our son. The family have
been told by doctors at their hospital that the baby well be well for now.
