Happy Father's Day!

I was thoughtful and emotional today when the world celebrates “Father’s Day” and one word continuously haunted me is “Kal ho na ho”. Its 10 years now when we lost you daddy; but we miss you every day.

Most of us plan in our life that once I have money and resources, I will give all comfort to my parents. I also thought the same about my father; but one can only plan; ultimate decision maker is GOD. But I lost my friend and my daddy in 1999. I realized from that day that it’s better to live in present and take actions “now” rather than postponing them. I also decided not to dwell over the past and worry too much about future. In 2007, I started Atmachetna with the same quest.

I really miss my father more now, after being father of two kids - Sanchit & Udita. So many myths are broken when you yourself become a father. Now I try to be a good dad for my kids with help from my better half- Shilpi!. I really want to chat/discuss with you daddy; but can’t.

My advise to all those who say “oh I was remembering you” or “one day I will do this/that for my parents/friends” – just take the action now; b’coz you never know what GOD has planned for you. Please don’t postpone happiness and joy in your life and to other’s life through your actions and behavior.

Daddy, I really wish you were here with us now.
Happy Father’s Day – Daddy!
