ON FATHER’S DAY…..NOSTALGIA
DO YOU KNOW WHY I FEEL LIKE THE LUCKIEST GIRL ON EARTH ? ‘COZ I’VE GOT THE BESTEST DAD IN THE WORLD. I’M SO PROUD TO BE DADDY’S GIRL.

I ENVY ALL GIRLS WHO DIDN’T HAVE MY DAD ! MY DAD ENRICHED MY LIFE BY HIS EXAMPLE DESPITE BEING NOT TOO WEALTHY or POWERFUL. NOT ONLY A PROVIDER, BUT TOOK UP THE ROLE OF BRINGING UP HIS TWO DAUGHTERS ALONG WITH HIS SPOUSE, MY MOM, WITH DUE CARE. HIS SPONTANEOUS INVOLVEMENT IN PARENTING STRENGTHENED THE FAMILY FABRIC.

ALTHOUGH HE TRIED TO MAKE US TRENDY, SIMULTANEOUSLY HE INSTILLED IN US THE FAMILY TRADITIONS and RELIGIOUS VALUES.
ONE SURE WONDERFUL THING DAD DID FOR US WAS HOOKING US ON GOOD READING. HE TAUGHT US HOW TO READ A DICTIONARY EVEN ! OTHER PRACTICAL THING DAD DID FOR US WAS, INSISTING TO LEARN & PRACTISE COMPUTERS WHICH HAS BEEN STANDING IN GOOD STEAD IN OUR PROGRESSIVE CAREER THIS DAY…..

WELL, EVERYDAY, BEFORE DAD LEFT FOR WORK, HE WOULD GIVE A KISS TO MOM and HE REALLY MEANT IT. HE ALWAYS HUGGED HIS DAUGHTERS AND TOLD THEM THEY ARE GEMS & HE ADORED THEM. DAD KNEW, KIDS WOULD BE KIDS ONLY ONCE IN LIFE and WITHIN THE BLINKING OF EYES, THEY WILL BE GROWN-UP AND GONE IN THE BUSYNESS OF LIFE. TIME TO LOVE IS NOW ! HOW TERRIFIC and CORRECT. I ADMIRE DAD FOR HIS SIMPLICITY. DAD SAYS, “ EVERY MOMENT LOVE YOUR LOVED ONES. CHERISH THEM. TELL THEM ALL THE NICE THINGS YOU ALWAYS WANTED TO SAY. ” INVESTMENT OF QUALITY TIME WITH THE FAMILY GRANTS FABULOUS DIVIDENDS.

I BELIEVE, MY DAD HAS POWER OF GOD IN HIS LIFE. DAD ALWAYS THANKS GOD FOR GOD’S LOVE & GRACE. DAD ALWAYS PRAYS TO KEEP HIM FROM THINGS THAT ARE HARMFUL TO THOSE HE LOVES. I’M DAMN SURE DAD HAS SURRENDERED HIS WILL TO ALMIGHTY GOD & THAT’S HOW DAD IS SOOOOO COOL ! WITH YOUR HONEST EFFORTS IN YOUR ENDEAVOURS, GOD TAKES CARE WHATEVER HAPPENS.

MY DAD ALWAYS REMINISCED AND CRIED THAT HE COULD NOT DO ANYTHING FOR HIS OWN FATHER WHEN THE FATHER WAS LIVING, BECAUSE MY DAD’S FATHER PASSED AWAY WHEN MY DAD WAS STILL DOING ENGINEERING AT SURATHKAL COLLEGE. MY DAD’S DAD GAVE ALL HIS CHILDREN VERY GOOD EDUCATION and LEFT A LEGACY OF GREATNESS. GREAT MAN.

“ DAD, EVEN IF YOU WERE NOT MY FATHER, I WOULD STILL LOVE YOU FOR YOUR NICE QUALITIES. ”
“ THANKS FOR BEING MY DAD. ”
DAD ALWAYS PREACHED THAT WE OURSELVES ARE ACCONTABLE FOR OUR ACTIONS and ALSO ABOUT HOW WE FEEL. HE INSISTED TO LEARN TO GET ALONG WITHOUT THE ASSISTANCE OF PARENTS ! THAT’S HOW WE BOTH SISTERS HAVE BECOME STRONG-WILLED & INDEPENDENT.
MADE OUR LIFE BEAUTIFUL……

DAD TAUGHT US TO TRY TO CONTROL OUR MINDS TO AVOID INCONSEQUENTIAL GOSSIPS and BRAIN-DAMAGING TV SERIALS. HORRIBLE THINGS....
DAD SAYS, “ IF YOUR HOME IS WELL-ORGANISED, I BET YOUR LIFE WILL BE WELL-ORGANISED. ” DAD HAS BEEN A GREAT SUCCESS AS A FATHER and ALSO AS HUSBAND. MOM ALWAYS SAILED OUR HOME SMOOTHLY, A NICE MOTHER.

“ DAD, I GREW UP HOLDING YOUR FINGER. I GREW UP SITTING ON YOUR LAP. YOU’VE ALWAYS BEEN MY INSPIRATION. YOU NEVER SCOLDED ME, NO MATTER HOW MANY TANTRUMS I THREW TO GET MY WISHES. DAD, YOU ARE THE BEST and YOU ARE ALWAYS IN MY HEART.”
“DAD, YOU ALWAYS SAID, LIFE IS TOO SHORT AND WE HAVE TO SAVOUR THE AMBROSIA EVERY SPLIT SECOND. ”

DAD WAS APPREHENSIVE ABOUT WHETHER OUR LIVES ARE CONTROLLED BY SO CALLED FATE ? AREN’T WE RESPONSIBLE FOR WHAT WE ARE ? WHY THE MYTH CALLED DESTINY IS HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR WHATEVER GOOD or BAD HAPPENS IN OUR LIVES ? IS THERE SOME EXTRANEOUS POWER SHAPING OUR FUTURE ? MY DAD PUTS A QUESTION TO ASTROLOGERS, “ WHAT IS THE USE OF KNOWING YOUR FUTURE WHEN YOU CAN NOT CHANGE IT ?
HAVE FAITH IN GOD & LIVE YOUR LIFE IN RHYTHM WITH NATURE’S ETHICS. ”

U KNOW, MY DEEP LOVE FOR MY PARENTS PERHAPS IS CAUSING ME TO BE PARTIALLY BLIND TO THEIR LITTLE WEAKNESSES & HENCE U FIND THAT I’M WRITING ONLY POSITIVE THINGS !

THANKS PAPA, I ALWAYS LUV YOU……..
