The Wooplr “Super Dad” series is brought to you in association with Gant in celebration of Father’s Day 2014.
Anup J Kattukaran is partner and chief optimist at 1st December, a production house that specialises in ad films. He is also a wedding photographer, because he gets to sample some fantastic wedding food while on assignments and finds his ‘nirvana’ moments between the madness at Indian weddings. When he is not snapping at colourful weddings amongst other activities, he spends his time as a professional scuba diver and underwater photographer.
Anup loves Bangalore and his mother’s rice & sambar. He married the love of his life, Clarin, three years ago and recently became the father of an adorable baby boy, Adam Joseph Kattukaran. He talks about his new role, skills he has picked up and a few surprises along the way. Read on…
Transcript (printed verbatim)
Is he going to be a mumma’s boy or daddy’s boy?
As of now he is mumma’s boy. He is happiest when Clarin is around.
When I carry him, his biggest adventure is to pee on this man.
Your favourite moment with him so far?
My favourite moment was definitely when I saw him for the very first time.
I was completely gob-smacked and smitten by him. I was in the OT during the surgery with my camera. The doctor had to remind me to take the snap. And looking back at that moment, I realise that in the 8 years that my wife and I have known each other, of all the amazing things we have done together, Adam is the by far the best!
Baby Adam
What’s the most hilarious thing he’s done till now?
He makes a pouty shy face after he is done with his potty. It’s more cute than funny.
And this evening I was working on some images and he could not take his eyes off the women as I scrolled down the page. Boys will be boys I tell you :)
Every father has his own set of Dad Jokes or “DJokes”. What’s going to be your DJoke?
Adam is very adamant about sharing his apple.
If you and your son had a TV show together, what would it be called?
Adam’s apple?! LOL
What did Father’s Day mean to you before your son was born? And what does it mean to you today?
My dad was my hero. He has been a huge inspiration in everything I do.
I would like my little nugget to feel the same about me.
What’s your favourite part of being a dad?
It’s really humbling to look at my little buddy and realise that I am a father now. It’s been a brilliant 40 days so far. He makes me feel complete and whole! It’s like he was that little missing link in my life.
It’s no wonder I call him “minime”. He is the smallest, most important part of me.
How will you be celebrating your first Father’s Day?
Drink a tall glass of milk with my son :)
