On Father’s Day , I thought to write a blog on my papa ; my most favorite; my first go-to person for anything …. Mainly this blog is a personal not social,,,, about my relationship my equation with him.
First of all, Father’s day is not
entitled to just a single day, but for a person like me who is so close to my
father, every day is for him . I can’t say even a single word in this blog that
I don’t mean from my heart as it’s for my papa. I share a beautiful and unusual
kind of a bond with him as we both understand even the unsaid about each other.
Not a single day passes that I don’t think about him, pray for his well-being.
It’s not only because I love him and he deserves all good but also I can’t see
him having any kind of problem in life. He is such a giving person, not only
for his own children, but everyone around. He is the favorite of everyone in
our extended families.
I love to share everything with
him and he also likes to share with me …. Whenever we all go to stay at our
parents place during summer break, I m always the first one to get up though
slept quite late but the charm of sitting with him in the balcony and gossip….
Too much fun.. is obviously more important than sleeping. Then we sit with tea
cups in hand [ made by him] and talk on and on…everyday.. some of the talks are
on repeat mode but still the same excitement for both of us.
The best thing that he has taught
all his children, is to take the best care of our mommy.. he has never said
this in words but shown by example, the way he cares for her. We all are always
to care for her, protect her. It’s only because of his dedication and care that
she is alright , in good health. I still remember the time my mother had got
severely sick [ back in 2000; I was newly married then] . she had to undergo a
brain nerve procedure for about 12-14
hours, but it wasn’t a success. He is very strong but for the first time I had
seen him crying while sitting in the corridors of Gangaram hospital… then she
had to be operated. I remember my papa had instructed everyone not to tell me
about the surgery as he said priti is very sensitive. When I went there like
every day … to my surprise there were around fifty people of our families here
and there waiting. Thankfully she got alright. These unsaid emotions mean a lot
to me. It’s not that he’ll say… love you beta or hug me… but his feelings are
conveyed to me. Words are not always needed to show your emotions, express your
feeling. You can convey heart to heart. Like today morning when I called him to wish
happy father’s day… he started laughing wholeheartedly n I come to know that he
is happy. Not a single thing in my life I’ve done without consulting him; be it
buying a house, related to children or any other… his guidance is the must. whenever
I pray, it’s always for him first… don’t know why but it’s like this only.
whenever I m happy and excited, I look for him to share, and when I feel sad for some reason or low at times, I try to get answers from him, discuss with him in detail and every time I get relaxed and all my stress vanishes after a talk with him. He also doesn’t leave until I get comfortable. I learn a lot from him everyday. Mine is an arranged marriage; he had chosen kamal for me. I feel so lucky to have him as my life partner as we both understand each other so well that no need to say what’s disturbing us. Moreover he is so much like my father – same caring n loving nature. He respects him the same way I do and my papa is very frank with him. even my children say that for mummy , nanu is the most important person and we all come after that. Oops !!!
on this day, I just wish you to stay happy and healthy always and may you always be blessed with eternal love from all of us. HAPPINESS ALWAYS ! there is so much in my heart for you …. Can’t write everything here. I know you are always there for me no matter what. Thanks for everything.
Always by your side
love you
your first-born
Priti
