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...
