Happy Birthday Papa!

-


We often talk about a mother’s love and affection, where a father’s love goes unnoticed. Not many people in their lives are blessed with a father’s love. The bond of a father and a child is beyond compare as he plays a very significant role in a child’s life. I can vouch for my dad to be the best without any second thoughts.

Daddy, you are very special and my love for you is incomparable. You gave me my name, my identity and everything else. You are the kindest, sweetest and smartest person I have ever met with a great sense of humour. You work really hard so that we can live a comfortable life. Some of your best qualities that always aspire me are your perseverance, determination and modesty. Your diligence and will-power have always pushed my limits and me better and stronger. Everything that I am or will become, will be due to your influence. As a father, you have molded my personality and made me worthy.

 Every time, I was downcast, no matter what, you were there and every time I was happy, we shared that too. No matter how tough the times got, I watched you become tougher.

You should know that you mean basically everything to me. Words are not enough to describe you. Daddy I have always loved you and always will.

“It is the way a father holds his child's hand that makes his child feel safe. It is the way a father looks at his child makes his child feel cared for. But most of all, it is the very presence of a father to a child that makes the child feel blessed.”

This poem's for you...

Daddy you are so kind,
My love for you is blind,
You work so hard, sweat and grind,
Perfect life for us you find,
If mom’s the heart, you are the mind,
The family together you bind.
Your sense of humour is the finest,
My mind you love putting to test,
North, South, East or West,
No doubt, you are the best.
You always make me glad,
Whenever someone makes me feel bad,
If love, modesty and humour we add,
It sums up to you my dad.

May God bless you and fulfill all your wishes. Today is the right time for me to say, how grateful I am to you for always showing me the way. A very happy birthday!

A Phoenix Rising from the Ashes

  A Phoenix Rising from the Ashes The story of the phoenix is a mythical tale of rebirth and renewal. Not able to relate? Don't worry! Remember Fawkes from Harry Potter? Dumbledore's phoenix, which burst into flames when it was time for it to die and was then reborn from the ashes. There are times in life when we all transform into one: facing hardships and breakdowns but overcoming them with boldness and manifesting our true mettle.    Life tests you when you already have a million things weighing you down, when you're down on your knees and about to surrender.     I won't prate on with philosophical ideas, instead let me share my personal experience. Recently, I had a breakdown where I felt I was all alone with nobody out there to help me. All tasks and activities that I had willingly chosen out of merriment started becoming a painstaking and monotonous chore, every day was tougher than the previous one. We know, when we are irritated, we tend to unleash ...

JUST THE WAY YOU ARE!

JUST THE WAY YOU ARE!  Not everyone around us will always encourage us for what we do. People will judge you throughout your life because they are either threatened by how good you are or just don't like that you are unique. We are being judged 24/7 all throughout our lives and this will not change. The change has to be within us. "A strong mind can move mountains." Everybody has their own qualities and we need to learn to respect ours. You know what makes every person special? Nobody can ever be exactly like anyone else. This is a fact and we can't change it. We don't need to emulate people or doubt even for once our talents. This will never make life easier for us. Being in a constant battle with everyone around us, will not make us any better. Take me for example, I don't appreciate sudden alterations in my life and take time to get accustomed to them, be it the entry of a new member in the team, or a modification in my room or even a new friend who I am no...

The Ultimate Sacrifice

  On reading the title many historic tales of sacrifice and renunciation strike the mind, don’t they? We, humans have a tendency to overlook the lush green grass and verdant valleys and obsess with the stars. We usually turn a blind eye to things that surround us and people who shape us. (I’m so glad you’re photogenic because the camera captures a divine beauty with ever click.)  I would not claim that my mother is “perfect”, she has her flaws like any other normal human. She’s strict like a hostel warden and an emotional fool like me. Nonetheless,  her eyes can read the thoughts and intentions of people even before they originate in their mind, she prepares her hug and caressing hand even before I’m broken, the ambulance is ready even before I was made a patient.  You know how a baby cub or a little chick is scared and frightened to take decisions and mother pushes them, she took life-changing decisions for me. I am certain that  she will never show an ounce of...
