Papa....You are my Prince.....



Have so many thoughts to pour out, don't know where to start..
It isn't your birthday and it isn't a Father's day,
still somehow feel it's important to express it today,
If i say you are the world's best dad..
that still would not do justice to great personality that you are..In fact, whatever i write down today would not even be half as great as you are.
We always knew you are a special Dad...a Dad different from what a typical over protective Dad personality is supposed to be..'My Dad doesn't allow me to do this,My dad doesn't allow me to get this', were never our words...
You have always been protective, yet allowed us to fly and explore our dreams,
our wants,and learn good and bad our own way, though you have always been standing at the altar, warning of the dangers, and saving us from the pitfalls.

How i remember when i was young, and came with my progress report cards, you always appreciated my efforts,regardless of what the progress report showed, your never changing words were..'Tum dekho, how much improvement you have done, and how much you need to do', this might be a small line from you, but you have no idea how much this encouraged me to move forward,and how much grave an impression it has on me till now, it gave me a sense of protection,that my Dad is there for me, has faith that i can move on,and move on ,on my own.

I cannot any time remember a 'NO' from you for anything we have ever asked for..
I can count on endless things starting from a never required mobile when
i was just in standard 12th and when no kid of our family had,
then a computer, a laptop, a Walkman, best Nokia mobile when i got through Infy,and a never expected and never required Apple Iphone...though i am ashamed to say this does not constitute even half the list,
however, these just being materialistic demands, can never thank you enough for always being there for us ,always supporting us for all that we wanted to do,always having that trust and faith on us, more than we had on us,
How can i not mention, when no one allowed us to drive, you gave us the keys to hit the road and learn our lesson, how you have been the ever patient Dad to follow us to our never ending shopping sprees, which would last for hours and you would willingly enjoy being with us, with full enthusiasm and no hurry at all...how can i forget the endless rounds of shopping at my engagement , even after your hard day at factory...

Not enough, i cannot thank you enough for so lovingly accepting my choice of a life partner,Now that i am on the verge of getting married ,how i hope each moment that Ankit acquires each and every quality of yours....

Papa....i seriously have no words to express my gratitude towards you
and have no words to let you know how wonderful a Dad you are,
how you have been our friend, philosopher,guide,
how you have understood all that we ever felt,
how you have taught us the lessons of life so well and so easily,
how you have developed that special bond..
I am proud to be your Daughter Paa..

Love you always...

P.S I Love You....

I just watched 'P.S. I love You' and amazingly it has had such a deep impact on me that has led me move my fingers to pour out my feelings in this blog...

The movie starts on a rather strange mode, husband and wife having a tiff over a small issue and wife shouting at her husband for not planning out things and not planning out his life...it moves on with a very sad note with the husband dead who indeed has penned down a series of letters for his loving wife to be given to her after his death, with careful instructions planning her life ahead and also which give her the strength to continue to live her life, and seek out happiness, which of course was miraculously planned by the husband while he was alive.

The movie left me full in tears wondering whether such true and eternal love still exists...It amazes me to find around these days so many relationships given the name of love, meeting today,falling in love tomorrow,breaking up the day after, and that's not enough, finding a new one yet again the day after,and then again calling it true love.Alas! if only love was such a petty word to be wasted on everyone.

Love today is empowered by selfish motives of one and all.
Love has moved down to momentarily happiness not giving ultimate peace to one.
Love does not mean to share beautiful moments and part ways in difficult ones,
Love does not mean to share and care when life is moving on smooth,
love means to shower your blessings when road is all uphill,
Love is not being with someone for a life,but being with someone for an eternity,
Love is not being with a person till your life goes on,love is in being with someone also when your life ends.

The movie has moved and touched me to the bottom of my heart making me wonder if such eternal love only exists in some one's imagination and movies or it still does exist in real life.

Mum's the world for me...


That beautiful smile..the eternal love..that everlasting care..the warming hug..those ever helping hands..the serene face with gleaming eyes always thinking for dreams high...those small tiffs and those lectures big..that anger with concern that warming security....i missed them all as years passed by....Yes!!!! i missed u MOM more than i ever thought...

Six years is a big time...the day i left home for college and realized what warmth n love a mum is made of...

I missed you when my first tear dropped n you were not there to wipe it off...
I missed you when no one listened to my shouts at the dinner table n i had to sleep without food for the rest of the night...
I missed you in my exams when i had to put alarms to get up...
I missed your motivating words when the studies depressed me..
I missed your pat when i scored highest in my batch...
I indeed realized i had been brought up like a child divine...
I indeed then realized the precious gift that i had never taken care of...

The four years passed n i was excited beyond limits...but then came the professional world, and the distance now became larger...n this time it was worst..

I missed you much more than i ever did before...
I missed you the day i cooked my first meal...
I missed you the day i went to buy the first grocery...
I missed you the day i got my first salary...
I missed you the day i paid my first bill... [still can't understand how you could manage without a single frown]
I missed you the day i first shopped with my account...[never had i before realized i was such a spendthrift]
I missed your angry red face the day i had a first night out with friends...
I missed your rebukes the day i came late from the last movie show...
I missed your presence the day i had a tiff with my manager...
I missed your suggestions the day i had to take big decisions...
I missed your supportive hand on my head the day i started something new...

The years have changed and the seasons have rolled,i cannot now behold...to be in your arms enrolled....Yes mum...i am coming back...your little angel is coming back as a big girl with loads n loads of experiences of the big bad world...i will come n live each second of the six years missed...all the lovely talks...all the juicy gossips...all the wonderful laughs ...all the beautiful moments..all the peaceful dinners...all the exciting outings...all the teachings...all the preachings...will live each moment to the zenith...

Love you always...Maa...
