My Hero..



As adorable as a child..as caring as a mother, as genuine as diamonds are, as reliable as a true friend. The one who has always been there by my side, to support me more than anyone in this world is this .. His My Father!.

I am sure to every child, his/her father is the best role model.
But to me, my father is not just that. Pitaji (my father) has been my inspiration, my guardian angel, my advisor, my confidant, my best friend.

The one man I can share my thoughts and seek advice and guidance,having no fear of being judged and knowing for sure that he will have entirely my best interest at heart.

The way he lives his life each day, the warmth and kidness anyone would feel around him, the self-lessness and giving nature, thats truly admirable..That's my father.

Some people say parents are a form of God presence /God. I have a living example in my life and I feel truly blessed.

And if someday I am half the person he is, I'd consider myself truly lucky

My Father..He is not just One In a MIllion But His my Hero...

Turning 21

As I turn 21 in 12 days, I feel a whole lot different from the way I assumed I would. From a child to a teenager, I had been impatiently awaiting the day I turned 21, having the dream that the man of my dreams would come into my life, sweep me off my feet and propose to me with a diamond ring. I assumed that life after 21 was nothing but total freedom and a happy ever after like the fairy tales...But now, as I come closer to the day I turn 21, I realise it's not how I always thought it would be. Day by day, I realise there are so much more responsibilities and decisions I will have to make on my own that could change my life forever. However, in my 21 years, I've learnt a lot from life. I've learnt to cherish every pleasant moment and face the challeges that confronted me with a brave heart and learnt from every step I have taken since I was a child. I wouldn't say my childhood was the best any child would have had, nor would I say it's the worst compared to any other child. Coz I still remember how much my brothers had bullied me and how much I hated my life as a child because I was the youngest and the weaker one..but as I grew I realised that back then, all myy brothers did was they made me a stronger person in the world. I hated being the only girl with no sister. I begged for a sister so I would have a friend..and again later realised that being the only girl, I got all the attention and luxury my brothers didn't have. When I turned 16, I felt like a young adult..a real teenager. These are the years that I learnt about the world. I saw people's true colours and realised that there are very different types of people in life: good, bad, bad and ugly. People that could be mean and people that could be heartless even though he or she was a friend. I learnt that what people say is not always what they mean and I realise that every step taken has to be taken very carefully as you will never have a clue when you fall and you'd be surprised that the cause of your fall could be caused by a dear friend. These were the years I learnt the meaning of true friendship and love and that life can only be beautiful if you want it to be. I realise that no one can make you cry unless you let them. I realised that I am special and that not many have a unique quality in me. I know my dreams can come true if I want them to, and nobody can stop me but myself. So as I turn 21, I am sure to miss my past ..but I never wish I could turn back time coz if I did, I may not be the person I am today, nor have the friends and love I have. But I will never forget my past, as it plays a massive role in every step I take. I am grateful to God for each incident and experience I have gone through in the past and pray to God to guide me even more in each step I take and in each decision I make after this.
