Happy Birthday Dad.

People say I have a lot in common with my dad
And every time someone says that I feel out of the world
Sometimes I wonder what is my identity, but for my dad
Today if people recognize me and identify me for what I am
If people like my work, its all because of him.

Would I have been the same person if not for him?
I guess not.
He has made sure that I have the right upbringing
The right attitude and the right mix of assertiveness and courteousness.

People tell me that I have a lot in common with my dad
But I wonder, if I am any where close to the kind of ideals he has set
The principles he follows, and the aspirations he sets for himself and for me as his son.

Whatever people say
The truth is, for me he has been my Friend, Philosopher and Guide.
All my life, whenever I found myself at crossroads, whenever I found myself struggling to take a decision
I would just close my eyes and wonder what he would have done, if he would have been in my place. And then the going gets easier for me.

I love you Nanna,

And wish you the very best that life has got to offer on this day and the days to come.

Many Happy Returns of The Day.
