Happy Father's day!

Me: Dad, today is your day! Happy Father's day!!
Dad: Oh OK, today is Father's day? What do they do there on Father's day?
Me: Well, kids show their love and affection to Dads.
Dad: Ohk. Nice!

My Dad has been more than a Father to me. Fate made him my mom too. His character, values made him my idol. His openness and big heart got me a good friend in him.

A simple man that he is, I cannot remember a single day when he was resting at home sipping coffee/tea and watching TV/listening to his favorite songs. Instead he was relentlessly doing something for our family/friends/relatives or for millions of community organizations he is part of. The only thing he ever bought for himself was a car; not because he couldn't afford anything bigger, but he had big things planned for his kids..

I guess he is the only reason I still have my feet on ground. Whenever I become air-headed, a simple conversation with him brings me back to reality. When I look around, I cannot help but realize how lucky I am to be born to such a complete man!

Happy Father's Day, Dad!!

3.5 miles run in central park, dinner by the waterfront

and still we manage to smile :)

How time goes by..

Today I met Pratik - great college buddy, almost after 3 years. It made me realize how fast time goes by. It feels like only yesterday when we were doing this :)



Hmmm.. Well, it makes little nostalgic..
