Happy Father’s Day :)

Whenever we look back at our life, we shall always found some persons who were always there for us. They invigorate us when we were sad, they laugh with us when we were happy and they mold us in a perfect soul. When I peep back into my life, I found my father as one such person. I have never ever been a good son. I was suspended on the first day of so called my school life. There did not exist a single house from which I didn’t get a complaint. I remember my school diary in which after daily homework were written
stories of my contumacious behaviour. But even after all this, my dad never shouts at me, he leaves this for my Mom ;).

Till date the relationship that I share with my father is more of a friend than of a father. The most wonderful things of my life, I have learnt from him. Most of my ideas, my thoughts are directly or indirectly derived from him. Recalling one of my oldest memory that I have with my father is one when I learnt bicycle. I remember when my brother learnt bicycle, he used to tease me. I desperately wanted to learn bicycle. One fine sunny day, my father took me to a ground. There was a fear in my heart because I have heard the heart aching stories of people who broke their leg, head, arms, kidney, heart, lungs blah blah and some more blah blah. Still I had the courage because my father was there with me. I sat on bicycle my father was holding bicycle by carrier, he instructed me not to look back. I started pedaling and after some time I found my father standing far away, waving his hand. That was the first victory of my life and I shared it with my father. I remember the time when my father returned from office and I was standing at the main door of my house, he won’t be allowed into the home till he had a long drive with me. In night when I used to walk with him, I held his finger tightly so that if ghost appeared from anywhere, he could save me. I had a belief that he was more powerful than ghost. I never took help from my mom when I stucked at my homework because when that stuck was unstucked, I had my cheeks red.

Since then time changes and as I grow up he helped me in bringing out maturity in me. He transformed me from a kid to a man. I left my home some 6 years back when I went out for my engineering preparation, he told me after that I have to take my decisions on my own and since then whatever I have done with my life I never feel regret of anything. Wisdom is often non-communicable but experience is not. His experiences of life help me in improving my life. How oftenly we tell our mom’s that we love them but we never express our true selves when we speak with our father. This post of mine is dedicated to my father for being so wonderful father, Happy Father’s Day in advance.
