Paa, real life hero

We always remember and praise the sacrifice of our mother and the role she played in our lives. But we often forget the fact that our father too played the equal role in shaping up our lives. I think its nature that most of the fathers are less expressive than moms and often reserved because of their work tension.

In my childhood, since my dad was the only source of income, I had to ask him for everything. But I never asked him directly. In turn, I always tortured my mom to request him on behalf of myself. I was so afraid of him. I still remember how I was jealous on few of my friends (Baji, Ramesh and Kudi) to get such a friendly father. But that’s in my teenage. Now, I can understand the part he played in my life.

I can realize how hard it is to get the ground and construct building in Madras. I can realize how hard it is to educate three of his children in well esteemed institution. Now all three of us (me, my brother and sister) are well placed and leading the sophisticated life. Next week, he is retiring from his job and I am very proud about him.

In this post, I just want to list down few of his good habits and ideas which I already adopted in my life to do wonders.

• He never tasted alcohol and tobacco.
• He never get loan for anything. He always do some sort of savings and accordingly he will run the family. (my mom helps him a lot in this case)
• He never hesitate to attend relative’s function irrespective of distance and climate

Negatives:

• He is too short tempered and introvert 
• He never took us for outing. 
• No friends and feels hard to socialize with others

I finish my post by stating this quote. “Rarely does a child express love and affection to his/her father. While saying ‘love you’ or ‘thank you’ to a mother is easy, articulating the same to a father is difficult”. So let’s give the same respect and love as we do for mom and make him happy.
