The most pleasant topic on earth: daddy'r story.😊 I can talk about my father non-stop and will never feel bored or tired.

My story did not become a story until i was 15 and on a fateful day when i lost my MAA. God took away the most precious gift from me and my brother leaving my baba shattered and completely out of clue on how to raise two children. Until then, my baba was a simple man with usual characteristics and a usual tendency of leaving most of the parental responsibilities on maa. But God had something else planned for him 😆. My baba who had no idea of how to boil an egg, suddenly became a super man. 😕

But the path was not a flower garden. Jali huyi khicdi was the starter. The process of dealing with a teenage girl and a 10 year old son made his life miserable. When i look back into those days, i guess i was the problem child. I gave him such a tough time. Comparatively, my brother was naive and always ready to compromise. But i was high on my emotion and not considerate at all. I mean how could i expect from him to choose a matching dupatta and threw tantrums for not being able to do that? How could i? How could i? I am the most insensitive girl on earth; indeed i am! 😭

Things started changing gradually. Baba became a cooking expert and mein bhi dheere dheere sudhar gayi. 😆 Thank God, dutta didn't exist then 😆

We got grip on our family together; shared the responsibilities; gave each other quality time and look at us now. Everything is almost perfect in our family. The way baba took care of my brother was unbelievable. Through his wisdom, both of us learned one thing for sure, that is honesty. and i can proudly say that. Baba was never dishonest to us in any way. He tells the truth right on our faces and no matter how cruel it is, we accept it.

I am so lucky that my best friend is my baba. I can share anything with him and he would not react. Except one thing. He never appreciated my MR deewangi. i wonder why??😆 May be he once caught me zooming through MR's picture and attempting to discover something 😆

For the last 9.5 years, he's been the same loving person who would not tolerate any single word against his children. He completed his responsibilities from his side 100/100 but i wonder if i will ever be able to fulfill half the responsibilities from my side.

My baba is a simple man; who sacrificed the best years of his life taking care of his children. But now, he is weak. He is suffering from various health complications. Sometime, i feel so insecure. I realize he is the strength of my life. He set such a high standard for a man that when i look into Ishaan's eye, i try to find the same security. Poor Ishaan. Utterly confused. 😆

So, this is our story. Everybody please pray for my baba for his sound health.

Thank pri for opening the wonderful thread. You made my day!!!!😊

@Swasti, very inspiring account, God bless your dad, with good health

@ priya..thanks for the great post, it is father's day in UK today..

My dad died in a car crash when I was nineteen. He left home for a job related trip, hale hearty and healthy, but his body returned home. My mother and two younger sisters were devastated. Such were things that in a split second I had to grow up to be the man.. of the house. My father was the only male figure in the family, and I being the eldest had to ensure that my mother was alive and breathing. I felt cheated, as I thought that fathers were infallible.. but found that they were mere mortals and not god!

My mother, reminded me that he was immortalized in his children and memories..

Hence my memory of my dad will always be a very empowering one to this day. The man celebrated that I was his first born girl child. He rejoiced in my academic achievements. I shall never forget that even though I hailed from a conservative family, and was only eighteen and single, he allowed me to go on a Socio/economic international conference to the Far East with my university. He was aware that it was a mixed gender trip, but the fact that as a pupil his daughter was selected out of many for the trip, was reason enough for him to give his full consent. I vividly recall that he never lectured me regarding my conduct on the trip.. there remained a silence between us, but this I knew without a doubt, that my father trusted his daughter.

I never realized how many of his qualities left an impact on me. In my work, there are many situations that have been challenging, where hard decisions have to be taken.. in those situations , I tend to recall his quality of integrity, I remember his words, "keep in mind that in life there are some issues which are not negotiable .. integrity is one of them..." . so today on father's day I would like to say , that where ever you are, I say thank you for being in person with me for a few years of my life, but many thanks for still being besides me whenever I need you.

@ Swastii and Hammie ..what a beautiful stories

Let me tell more abt my dada and Grand dads...
To the three men , who have shaped my life ...given it meaning ...

My story began even before I was born ...absolutely everyone thought , it will be a boy (symptoms so ..)...after my two brother , my dad had enough of my two brothers (I think ) ...that he sd no its a girl ...and her name will be Priya ( Mom hated the Name) ...But dad sd no Priya it is
Then I came out kicking and screaming ...inherited my lungs from my dad...It was from that day ...that we have been inseparable ...perfect magnets as ppl call us
Went with him every way ...followed him around ... but if he had to travel on work ...I cried buckets ...

My dog who loved my dad to bits too literally thought was the other woman in her doggy life ...she had keep my dad away from ...till she found out that I am just an extension of him


Sometimes I wonder with a chatterbox like me ...who talks 24/7 does not his ears pain ...But trust me if I am not around ...my phone will ring thrice day to check on me
nd If I do not talk for a long time ...he comes to chk what's wrg

He is one of the only ones to taste my experiments with cooking ...nd still does
He is my dad ...
________________________________________________________
My Nana

A simple man ...yet extraordinary ...
His home was open to everyone ...I mean it everyone ...No one went away hungry from his place ...
Someone who taught me the values of life ...taught me to be proud of who and what you are ...Taught me if you are in the right ...do not be scared for god is with you ...

Someone who I know he is always around me ...clapping his hands , smiling proudly and ready give me a hug ...


_____________________________________________________--


My Dadaji


Well sophisticated is the adjective I will use to describe him ... Being One of the first entrepreneurs in his field ... did not scare him ...infact I dbt anything scared him ...he taught me actually what I get from him is the attitude ..something I cannot deny ...

Thanks a lot for this thread priya👏……..lovely it is⭐️, and credit goes to all those wonderful posts from my friends as well. Never I've felt the need of a superlike button so prominently then today. People each post is a gem.⭐️👏

I can't say I'm a daddy's girl, as being a single child I've to play mamma's pet as well. I know tough job *wipes sweat*😆 And those who have this misunderstanding regarding the perks of being a single child…..let me tell you, you get no one to share your maar pitaayi sessions, whatever wrong……it has to be you the reason😆. They say one's father is one's first hero…..in my guess he's the only hero in my life…..no super hero in fact!!!

Both my parents are working still I never remember I was left alone with servent or aaya or even crches…..coz he made sure he's always there whenever mom is away. When it comes me my dad can go to extent……I remember I was three when I started going school (till then my parents desperately needed a few hours break from my antics😆….and after a day or two I went to my dad complaining how much I dislike doing homework…..and from that day to 2nd std…he used to do my homework….poor him, he has to work so hard on his handwriting to match it to my standards😆……mom tells me he use to do my homework from left hand😆…when busy his subordinates used to do. Few months back I was telling him about my term papers and instantly he asked me "do you want me to do it".😆

My dad has left me no stones unturned to spoil me, yet when people say that I'm a very sensible, deep sincere girl (too much of misunderstanding isn't😆) it's my dad, who incorporated all these traits so smoothly into me…..that I never realized. Recently I stepped out of my town to pursue my studies from JNU…..later my mom told me, when he came back after dropping me there, he cried. And I n't even react to this piece of information……..how could my super hero can cry…..I guess even super heroes have weaknesses and it feels so nice to know that in case of my super hero I'm the weakness….makes me feel special.😳

I can never love my parents the way they love me…….impossible it is!!! I'm very ordinary to get this kind of extra ordinary love……Thank God for that……if you have to be equally great to get great parents……Ram jaane mera kya hota.😆

Thank you daddy for being there, always, even when I screamed "leave me alone"

But, zindagi se ek complain reh gayi...like swasti even my dad never seems to be shappy with my choice...first Rahul Dravid, SRK and now MR...mere dad ke jaani dushman😆...lord save my hubby😆
