At my age and stage, not many but a lucky few blessed ones have their parents by their side . I lost both before I was forty. I do not think one needs special days to feel grateful to parents but such occasions do keep one reminded of this wonderful relationship full of selfless love and affection from parents’ side , though unfortunately not always returned or reciprocated by the kids.Increasing number Old age homes and vriddhashrams are a testimony to this bitter truth. I remember my father as someone , who led a simple highly contented life , never caring for any material gains. Never a pampering or cajoling type, but always alive to our needs, which he tried his best to fulfill .Even while buying cloth for our school uniform, he would go for the best. His trademark thaila always hung on his shoulders, fresh vegetables were carried home daily. I am lucky to have inherited his genes and at times, it feels good when others, who knew him have nice things to say about him.
Things are never the same when parents are gone !
HAPPY FATHER'S DAY !!
