Happy Father's day

my dad is my first hero!

I wish to clarify that statement. As a child, I was really scared of my dad. He was dark and had a big mustache (to me at that time ) . I've maintained a 10 ft distance for a long time and staying between the folds of my mother's saree (ofcuz my mother was a fair pretty maiden)  and seeing my dad from a distance.After a few years I realized I am not that fair a maiden and that skin colours dont pass when you touch the other person. That realization hit when i was 7-8 years old. He always sounded important and I started tagging along with him wherever he went. As years flew by, I realized that my dad was actually fun.  He involved me in sports and politics and automobiles. Discussed at length and taught me every bit of what I know about it. My dad never spared us  for anything. Even as a child playing cards or carrom, we have to win on our own. He never yielded to the fact that we were kids and he can do a little sacrifice. Thinking about it now, I can say with pride that I ve won my games without help (Independent uh ! )

Psycho analysing all that shows how important that lesson is in life. No one, not even your dad helps you. Your on your own in this world. 

I am a chip from the old block. I never back down without a fight, take it all head on and argumentative as hell and have prided myself in saying that I am a lawyer's daughter. (wielding over arguments must be genetic too ) And the most important thing, his driving. He was my first, is and always will be my hero in driving a car. That he told me I drive well made me sit in cloud 45 and shout my heart out with joy.(வசிஷ்டர் வாயால் பிரஹ்மரிஷி பட்டம்) There is a saying "Arrogance has to be earned" and no one but my dad fits that sentence more aptly.

I dont think he has any idea that I actually love him. Never gave him a chance to ever realize it. My dad is definitely my hero not just because he is my dad, but because of his AWESOMENESS :)

 I love you

Happy father;s  day :)
