TOP 15 REASONS WHY MY DAD IS A SUPERHERO
1)There is a picture of me as a 4 year old, painting on a large canvas. It was a beautiful oil-painting my dad had finished and he had kept it in the hall to dry. The little artist that I thought I was, I couldn’t make any sense of the mountains and valleys and started painting over it. What does my dad do when he sees this? He runs to his room and gets his camera, to capture his daughters first ever painting. Never mind me, ruining his work of art, which he probably spent weeks painting!
2) During our exams, papa would make some exotic coffee (which we would hate, but would drink only to make him happy) . And he would stay awake, even though he would have to go to work early next morning. And I’d see the light in his room and know that he’s awake, and that im not alone. Once I’m done studying i go to wish him goodnight, id see that his computer was on, there was a open book in his hand, a glass of coffee in his table and my dad dozing off in his chair with his glasses still on. He’s never looked more cuter
3) He listens to my claptrap : He listens to me drone about school, friends, neighbors, what I saw on the road, the cultural day practice in college, my dreams, what I hate about that shop, my questions (why is it that way, who is he? Is it true we’re all dying?)
4) He makes me feel special. And he’s probably the most encouraging person in this world. When we were small, didi, Riya and me used to make him loads of cards and drawings. Mine, I could say were modern art (none of us still figured out, what I actually tried drawing), but papa would say its amazing, bring out some meaning in it, which I would be delighted to hear. ‘Wow I am an artist!, ’ I believed that all along, until i grew a little older
5) He taught me how to pray
6) I know for a fact that he works really hard, just so that we have a great life, but I never once heard him complain. I know how pa grew! From an maruti 800 to an Audi. From a tiny 2 chaired clinic to a luxurious bigger one. I dint realize how all this gradual change happened, probably because he kept as happy as we are now, even then. He’d probably have made small sacrifices for himself and I know he still does. But he’d never ever say it.
7) He has a golden heart (ohh with maybe even little diamonds and rubies in it) Again, I haven’t seen him refuse to help anyone!
8) He teaches me to become a strong, big girl who can face the world herself. And sometimes I do feel bad when he shouts at me, but so far it’s all been worth it and for one thing id blindly do anything he asks me to !
9) He’s my best friend :D
10) I love it when he cuddles next to us every morning, trying to wake us up early. He’d sing songs and tickle us and try to make us admit that he liked him more than we liked mom (We never succumbed to that though)
11) To the world he’s a 50 year old artist and a doctor, to me he is like an mischievous older brother (im sure this one’s your favorite point, dad :D)
12) He still has our drawings and cards which we made when we were younger ( 3 daughter, a long childhood, . Now that’s a LOT of junk)
13) He has a great sense of humor! Sometimes when ive lost something or im really depressed I find my self guffawing like a psyched-up freak.
14) He taught us what true happiness is. Money and materialistic things hold null value, in comparison to things like a great individuality, sacrifice and love.
15) He’s just simply a great man! My superhero, My rockstar! (this could probably be the reason why moms finds it hard to find a suitable guy for didi \, knowing papa has simply increased our level of expectation from men )
Papa, you might think that sometimes we don’t listen to you. we do! We grasp every word, we respect everything you say. We try to impress you, to make your proud, maybe we’re doing it wrong. But one day we’ll make you proud. Not for ourselves, but for you and for mom!
Sometimes I really wonder if the three of us are worth such an amazing dad. I know I can never ever repay him, but I want to make him proud and I want him to tell people of his three daughter who did great things. I want him to see that, he is the best father in the whole wide world!
I guess this is how every dad is. similiar, but unique in their own way <3
