My Father's B'day

Today is my father's b'day.  Decided to take off today, as felt i should not let this day go just like an ordinary day.

When i was in school, we used to get our report cards today, this used to be the gift we use to give to father. He would always ask, mera asli gift kaha hai.

My father i would say was beyond his time, very liberal in his thoughts, who was ready to always support change.  He believed in doing and not talking. I have never ever heard him talk about anything he did, i always got to know about it from others in the family or friends.

I remember my dad as someone who was totally selfless, who always put others before him. For him everyone was equal. He did not believe in caste/creed etc, he used to make friends at the drop of a hat. Thats the reason, who ever knew him remembers him even now fondly.

I love you a lot Daddy,  hope some day i will be like you.
