Happy Birthday Appa

Appa,

Happy birthday!

And Advance Happy Father’s day!

I never wanted to post this online, and I know you won’t like it..

But I had to..

You have made me what I am.

My strengths are those traits that I have got from you.

My weaknesses are lack of those traits that I still have to get from you.

As I keep making mistakes in the simplest of scenarios, I realize how perfect you have been in handling the toughest of problems.

As I keep worrying for the silliest of problems and lose my sleep over those, I marvel at how you have crossed the roughest of the tides.

As I keep losing acquaintances, friendships and relations by not fulfilling the responsibilities, I wonder at your ability to have maintained the bonds for so long.

As I grow and face the issues of the real world, I appreciate what you have gone through to reach the heights that you have attained.

Being the bad student I am, I might not have learnt all that you taught me.

But I have learnt more by seeing you being yourself.

After becoming a dad myself, I appreciate you loads more..

If I can at the least be half the dad you are, I will be happy.
