Just about...being a "Father"

A new world greeted them with smile and happiness when they... "Just met" and soon for them the wedding bells rang...

Now, they are happily lost in their own world & together are learning to set-
up a 'Home’ of their own... away from what was a home for them a little earlier in the year....That's "his" daughter & "his" son in-law.
..Being very adorable, the house has become little less chirpy after her moving out…..
…."He" now does feel the boredom...but will never show it off...
Because "he" is the father ...and expected to put on a stern face & always remain a 'matter of fact' person.....

He is all set to explore & build-up a learning curve that may see him well in life in about a couple of years from now. After his graduation he may probably start living away from home in a distant land in pursuit of excellence...That's "His" son
Being the darling of the house, "he" is sure to miss him but will never come to express it...
Because "he" is a father...and is expected to remain a strict disciplinarian......

Long years away from today..."he" did not fall in love nor had "he" ever met her. However, "he" was married to her because their horoscopes matched .They do remain poles apart on temperaments... but they get on famously together...That's his wife and "his" life companion.
Now, whenever she takes a short vacation to be with her parents..."he" does miss her a lot but will never speak it out...
..Because "he" is a father of their two grown up children...and expected not to show any emotions...

"He" never could have gone through the different & difficult phases of life with a reassuring calmness... and this "he" owes it to them..."his" parents...who are always there to remind "him" that staying positive makes life little more comfortable and little less harassing......
Now whenever "he" finds himself little helpless.... "he" feels very reluctant to ask their advice...
Because now "he" is a 'father' of their two grown-up grand children...and therefore expected to be Worldly 'wise'...

Being simply a living mortal even "he" has the right to’ ‘cry’, right to feel ‘helpless’ and at times may be even get ‘scared’ of “darkness”…but "he" has to rise above this because now "he" is FATHER.. and …his children will always look up to "him" as their 'shield and anchor’.
For a child a “FATHER” will always remain the learning curve…for.. 'a dignified and a quality life’ and I know that ...because I am a father too..!

May 'God' give every ‘CHILD’ a ‘FATHER’...Who is Loving, Caring and always there …with smile and confidence to make his child say “MY DADDY STRONGEST..!

In conversation with Bapu....

With 'Sare Jahan Se Achcha' and 'Abide with Me'the Soul-stirring martial tunes and solemn drum beats at the majestic Raisina Hills the "Beating the Retreat" ceremony marked the conclusion of the week long ceremonial functions of India celebrating her 62nd year of Republic.As the illumination lit up the edifices of Imperial India..my thought reached out to that day into the history of independence that finally dropped the curtain on a life called "Gandhi"...the man whose experiment with truth may not have jelled with today but his name has truly become the brand that remain most misused & manipulated both in trade & politics.As I key-in these lines I can read out the conversation that would have transpired between the "soul of Nation" (SON) and "Mahatma Gandhi"(Bapu)....Read on what I read..... SON: Bapu it's me,are you sleeping....? BAPU: How can you ask that...don't you know this day in the year 1948..I was gu...

But 'PAPU' Can "Vote"...'Sala'..!

"Sala".. is a generally accepted slang for both 'hum' the "Hindustani" and 'tum' the "Indian". Together this "HUM TUM" make the "Aam Admi"of the world's largest 'democracy'. This is our "INDIA".I agree with the TV ad that almost says "My India Strongest" in spite of the "Everest" of issues that surround her. Normally in this country the fate of the 'ordinary' people ie 'Aam Admi' always remain woefully harassed, pushed and frustrated through the year. However at the close every 5 years this 'Aam Admi' suddenly become extraordinarily powerful and remain wooed by all 'big,small and sundry' political parties of the country. Yes it is time for General Election. In the coming months for the 15th Lok Sabha, 714 million eligible voters would be 'bee lining' to the ballot boxes across 29 states,6 union territories to elect 543 members . 'Jaago-...
