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..!

    I was the youngest of the 4 siblings and the only son ,but that  never  made me precious and  pampered by the family. My father was in the army. We all  grew up in cantonment environment, hopping almost every 2 years  from one Cantonment to the other  Like from Allahabad’s Draupadi Ghat we came to Calcutta’s Fort William and  then to  Bangalore Cantonment  Bangalore was the only city where we  remained stationed for almost 5 years before getting  shifted to Delhi Cantonment in 1961, 4th of July to be precis It was the year 1959-60 and I was about 10 years old  studying in the 6th form in the Army’s  Regimental school . Around this time my  father decided to put me into “King George Military School” .This  was a ‘day’ Boarding School exclusively for Defence personnels . It is now called “Rashtriya Military School”. There was an aptitude test which I cleared but failed the written test. I was happy, a...

DE LHI Gasping!!

Delhiites have turned   indifferent to the " Toxic Air" that they breath  They have stopped bothering about the "smoke screen " that is keeping away   "Sun light"  from giving them the ray of "HOPE"  to keep their lungs "Sun Shined" . Like "AGE"  for them now  even the  AQI (Air Quality Index) has become a sheer number .They have long since stopped reacting to the AQI  shooting up. They have lost their "JOSH"" to protest for their fundamental right to breath. Delhi is the very seat of the duly elected "POWER".  of  World's largest Democracy  The "custodian" of this Democracy reside here  at   "7 LOK KALYAN"  but remain hardly visible in and around the city This  "custodian"  continues to remain the very "Most"  'Frequent Flier' of our Democracy and  the only  'STAR '  campaigner for the political party that he comes from.    Getting re-elected...

The Blessed Curse "Nostalgic flashes" !

   When you already  know a little about the  book it does create an  interest “Blessed Curse” was just that.  This book is about an  Indian middle class household  that is holding together three generations in generous harmony with all those ifs and buts about the generation gaps  The book undoubtedly is  an inspirational read  especially at a  time when the concept of   “nuclear households", remains a widely spread idea among the Millennials  It recalibrates your mind to question , debate ,accept and  celebrate every generation’s point of view  This book is the story of Jagdamba Prasad & his wife Pushpa Devi living with their son, daughter in law and grandchildren in one of the colonies of East Delhi’. The author in this book takes the reader through good, bad and ugly about each generation. The beauty is, it does not come as a bout of episodes but as “cosy chats” between the members of the family...
