He is my father
With people celebrating Father’s Day all around, I wish every father and father-to-be a very happy your day! Since I’m not home to wish him, here is my way of remembering my father.
Being a daughter, needless to say, I am more attached to my dad. He has always been a person I looked upto. From teaching me algebraic equations to helping me in my speeches, he is someone who taught me Bhagwat Gita shlokas. Being a sport enthusiast and a cricket player himself, he is my first Badminton coach. From tennis to football, he showed me all. I still remember during every FIFA, our living room would brighten up from late night football matches on TV with my father glued to it. This year too it’s no different! Just yesterday I recharged HD sports pack on TATA sky on his demand. He is a man who speaks about CK Nayudu, Pele, Dhyanchand, Hitler, James Cameron, Bal Gangadhar Tilak and Brahmin Uttaradi Matha!
One thing I’ve picked right from my dad is his taste of war movies. ‘Guns of Navarone’ is one of the first few films my father and I have watched together. Imagine a school kid trying to comprehend the plot to stop the German Army. I still remember, I did not understand it completely but he was appreciative of the dialogue delivery, camera works and British accent.
Sometimes, his impatience drives me nuts and when he starts lecturing me to be a good girl, I get bored. But, I understand he is simply being a father to a brat daughter. He is too stringent with all Brahmin rules of which I’m rebellious about. I feel many of those rules are obsolete. Best thing is he accepts that I’m not a fan of Brahmin society and let me be. He is a humble man of traditional values and humility who taught me the importance of having varied experiences in life. He has a played a vital role in shaping me.
Happy Father’s Day, Appa. This one is for you. Thank you for everything.
Love,
