CHAPTER 3: The Forgotten Father

Oh, I wanted to write this a long time ago but Mr. Fate was always standing in my way as he was standing in the way of 'Tejas' the HERO of "Anything For You Ma'am". Yes i finished reading yet another novel, and the count has now reached a mighty eight. stop laughing at me!!!

I know i am not a very good reader but I have certainly enjoyed every bit of what i read in these eight, and as my cousin, which many of you may be unaware of, is a complete book worm, not on the studious front but on the novel front. i don't even know how many extra he has narrated me from cover to cover as he was so excited after reading then, but...

But but but my friends, i am not here to tell you about all I have read over the last year, as Mr. Fate is still trying to get better off me as first he cuts my net connection off and then when I am writing this on paper he is trying to divert my mind off, as I so really want to write about the book I just read.

But but but.... again thats not the point I am here for. I will write it on net after I get connected again.

Ya now I am here on my main topic. ya i agree, you must be thinking that the topic is somewhat weird as how can we forget our one and only father. but my friend, in due course of time you will get to know what the hell, i want to tell. (oh thats rhyming)

As I told you, I wanted to write this one from a long time, i still remember that day.

I was reading a blog post named 'Maa...'
the link - http://purgatorio-and-paradiso.blogspot.com/

The post is really touching and the writer impeccable. I almost cried at the end and was deeply touched and it was then I thought when was the last time we cried for our 'baap'(father). When was the last time we talked 'about him' and better 'to him' very nicely and in a caring way. We all know we love our father, when I told these lines to one of my friends, he told me - 'haan if GAANDHIJI was still here...' how the world would have been a better place. i felt so disgusted at that point of time, with all due respect to GAANDHIJI, we are not even thinking of our father, YAAR, our biological father?

Now you get my point... GOOD....

But see whats happening around...
Even when we get hurt or we are lazy and coming out of bed is necessary we say only two words 'haye maaaaaaa...', i am not saying that this is bad, but father is like the crew of the film which works very hard as the actors but still don't get the deserved credit, we people don't even know their names.

I always say 'ladki hone ka quota hota hai' and girls always disagree but see it applies here too. Recently there was this song in the most beautiful film I have seen recently, i.e. 'Taare Zammen Par', ya you got the song right 'Maa', everyone in the cinema hall cried :') on that song. Even those stud types were also literally weeping as I got what is the value of 'Maa' is in our lives but still, do you remember any song on papa, yes you do, very old era, and yet another Aamir Khan flick, coincidently, the song was 'Papa Kehta Hain', but it was a cheerful one. Not many sentiments connected, it was a fun song.............

When you are out of your home, it is your mom who calls you, when you are at your home, your mom serves you food, and regularly, updates your hard drive(brain) saying 'Ye karo ye nahi' stuff, but the father I believe has taken a back seat, he used to work from 9 to 5 but for pushing the family ahead, to make all your dreams come true in this beautiful yet cruel world has made him work from 9 to 9these days or may be 7 to 12. He is there round the clock away from his family, for his family, because a serviceman shouldn't make personal calls during office hours, and for a businessman if business is going bad, work harder to get it good, and if its going good, he cant leave it when its good, can he?, the result......

He has very less time for you(very ironical naa, as he is doing everything in his life only for you), and he is not to blame for it and neither are you as you are your father's favorite, he loves you a lot, but as always, men unlike women are known to be less expressive. He cares for you but cant express the magnitude of his love and if expresses, the magnitude is even bigger and much higher.

I don't think one depends on a mother's and a father's day to celebrate, as they are working and spending their lives for you, just for you, anything for you. Don't mind but they could easily have avoided you by using a protection or by some other ways fully known to the world, and may have had a very happy life for eg. the expenses then would have been just 40%. (i believe i can win '10 KA DUM'). But the point is , as normally seen most fathers are very angry all the time and stubborn, mind it, I am not saying all, but I have seen many men shouting on their children even in public places. But its for our own good. Always remember one thing that its not like the mother is good and the father is bad but just that they play the famous 'Good Cop Bad Cop' technique on you, as they want your good. So don't let your father image be spoiled, and he is the one getting hurt by hurting you.

So please, if you believe, I really meant even a single word of what I have written so far,

Seriously take an advise, get up and go and give your father a hug, a big one the famous 'Jadoo ki jhappi', and say 'i know you care', and from then you will see a different father. I you think what I wrote was good, sit with your father and make him read this one, as this one is which is dedicated to my father as I have written this one keeping him in my mind. So guys/gals go grab this opportunity........

ITS TIME WE AGAIN HAVE A GET TOGETHER WITH 'THE FATHER'
























You still here!!! come on..., you stubborn idiot...
stand up at this very moment, and go and hug your father.

As Miranda says and says well
'PAGALPANTI BHI ZAROORI HAI'

I bet if you do it this will be a moment you and your father wont forget till your lives end.

SO GO.....
