Yes I am missing you Papa.It has been ten years that I last spent father's day with you.Ten years of loss of my confidante and my best friend who had drifted apart in his last years.When i look at camaraderie of present generation with their parents but sadly the sense of respect seems to be lacking.I really feel like flaunting you my Papa,My Papa,who was my first best friend,my first male friend,with whom I was so open and so close to despite my introvert nature My papa was my first hero,and yes I did look for his qualities in my spouse.Imagine co-incidentally matched his day of birth and blood group too:-) Though not intentionally.
My papa was a self made man,he started working from age of 17 and when he had to stop working from age of 55 only due to his heart ailment,He lost all interest in life.I learnt the values of dignity of labour and hard working nature from him.In my real temperament the introvert one I am my papa personified.He was a real soft spoken person which sadly i lacked and that always irked him.Today I am trying to groom my son telling him importance of being soft spoken ,giving him example of my papa who earned respect for his nature and the pinpricks which i earn often due to my temper.
Life has indeed come a full circle.
