DEAR PAPA : A LETTER FROM A DAUGHTER TO HER FATHER



DEAR PAPA :

"We three"



THANK YOU.

For Being There. For inculcating in me the values that have made me reach here.

If it weren't you, I would not be who I am today. It is not like I want to discredit mumma, however, there is something extremely important about a father and daughter relationship.

You have taught us what exactly the love is. You have shown us the standard. Because whenever I think how my life partner should be, I always want him to be like you.

You have made us to see the life from a ride on scooter to countless car rides; see your success story from being a teacher to a lecturer.

I know its hard to raise TWO DAUGHTER'S in a society where we were raised (when every other person asks Oh!! no son) and you proudly say we are your sons only.You stood firm and calm in handling those people. From giving us the best education to teaching us that we are no less than boys.

I still remember your words - "I have raised you both like a son and I expect everything a father expect from his son".
(P.S.- He said he won't marry us to any guy, until we a get a job.)

Every time you have saved us from mumma's scoldings and I know sometimes I don't listen to your advices but when I fall, then immediately something strikes my head and I realise I should have listened.

YOU WERE THERE.

Papa you were there every time from the first Bhangra in the NGO till dropping me here in Pune .
I was taught by you, to speak truth, to live  by faith, be calm and patient in hard situations and embrace God's beauty around me.

You gave us everything the best.

Being  kids we never understood what you did for us, but today, I owe eveything to you.

Love you Papa, Stay strong

I am a woman, and I live in a fear of being raped.

I am a woman, and I live in a fear of being raped. I live in fear of walking anywhere on my own, not knowing who might be silently watching, or stealthily following behind me. When my head goes to rest on my pillow at night, I fear of our home being broken into, and what they might be looking to steal from me. Riding in a taxi alone has become a trauma in itself, as my mind always wonders who this strange man is, where he might be taking me, and how I can escape from this moving vehicle if I need to. The stats tell me that 1 in every 6 women in India has been the victim of an attempted or completed rape. But we all know that number is far lower than the real one, because so many assaults go unreported. Why ? Because we feel shame. We are often convinced it was our fault. We shouldn’t have drunk so much. We shouldn’t have been wearing that. We shouldn’t have gone back to his flat. And funnily enough, talking about it in detail with a tonne of strangers who often don’t g...

Story of a girl who found her dreams

There once was a girl that was full of endless dreams. She placed them high upon a shelf and when people she knew and loved would come by she would show them: See my dreams, she would say, I am not sure which way or go or which path to take but I have so many. Many nights she would lie in bed and these dreams would filter through her mind so much that occasionally she would try one on to see how it might fit. Would she be a teacher? A doctor? A vet? A poet? And time went by and years cycled on. Eventually she took hold of one of those dreams and followed it. She fell so far down into the ideal of what she wanted that somewhere along the way she couldn’t remember who she was or what she wanted to be. Light shined on ideas that she had held to be true and formed shadows. She saw that things weren’t always as they seem. And then she became a girl without a dream. She took each one, piece by piece and part by part, and tucked them away. How silly, she would tell the people she k...

PATHBREAKERS

"Be neither a conformist nor a rebel, for they are really the same thing. Find your own path and stay on it", advised Paul Vixie. What we think is our nature, is actually a force of habit and Habits have a tenacious hold on us. A conformist will toe the line, with misery in his heart, pain in his eyes, living the life of a docile sheep in the herd. One amongst many, who get tossed and hurt by the shear power of the herd. To conform to already trodden paths and be wary and traumatized of your own unique identity is a squashing and subjugating of your own beacon light...your personal trademark, your own rubber stamp. No one can ever be 'you', for your 'DNA', is peerless and matchless. YOU ARE THE CREATOR'S WONDER. Why do you want to be cowering and hiding like a shy bride, in the shadow of the luminaries? Why should your lamp be a, flickering candle in the vast ocean of light? You are the sun, you are the moon, You are a spectacular, many sp...
