Bahut bade nalayaq ho.
Gadhe ho ek number ke.
Kisi kaam ke nahi ho.
Tumahara kuchh nahi ho sakta.
Ye Kyon kar rahe ho?
Vo kyon nahi kiya?
Chup chaap nahi baith sakte?
Ye time hai ghar aane ka?
Jab main tumahri umar ka thha ...

All you Guys:
Imagine the one person who comes to mind while reading the above (married guys: think other than your wives) ...
Invariably, most of us would answer ... DAD ...
:)

I asked only the guys above cause gals somehow never get to experience this. I can't understand, how come God has spared the daughters of this daily daant-phatkaar-hadkaana etc ... :(
Why should only the males have to get blasted ... for first half of there lives from there Dads, and for the remaining half, from their wives ... :( ... Only the interval, when one goes to college / onsite, offers a badly needed breather.

Karan Johar, in KKHH defines Moms very beautifully. In one of the scenes, "Maan voh hai, jo hamein yeh ehsaas dilati hai ki ham kitne achche hain, hamse achcha koi hai hi nahi"

All these days and years I used to wonder how he could get the definition of Moms so very wonderful and so very correct ... I realized a couple of days back ... during the hues and cries of father's day ... :).

He must have just thought of a definition for Dads, and inversed it ... :)
"Baap voh hai, jo zindagi ke har qadam par, hamein yeh ehsaas dilane ka koi mauqa nahi chookte, ki ham kitne nalayaq hain, hamse nalayaq koi hai hi nahi" :)

Some of the quotes I have heard from friends of mine over the last few years, will prove the above definition :), if at all such a universal truth needs any proof.
  • Ashu Gupta (~6 years back): Yaar, !%^#$, Har baap chahta hai ki uska beta amitabh bachchan ho ... Ab other than Amitabh's, duniya kar har baap apne bete se dissatisfied rahe ga ki nahi ...
  • Aftab (2 days back - which triggered this blog): Yaar shad bhai, I was not getting job and was feeling utterly butterly frustrated those days - and then I used to think, ki lagta hai, Papa ki bad-dua qubool ho hi gayee ... :)
  • From a friend's slam book: Against the most irritating person in life, one of our friends has put his Dad ... and then he justified it - "abbe haan yaar, pareshaan kiye rahte hain, dimagh ka dahi kar diya hai, ye course kar lo, yahan ka form bhar do ... vahan ka entrance de do etc etc " ... [those were the days we were in 12th and our futures (to which we were indifferent, but our Dads weren't) looked insecure]
  • Another friend told this joke: A Dad was scolding his son - When Shiva Ji was your age he had already won 3 forts ... Son: When Shiva Ji's Dad was your age, he was governor of a province ... :)
  • Another time during one of the parties in Wipro I had taken more on my plate than I could possibly finish (literally :)) ... A senior of mine comforted me by saying "Don't worry, your Dad is not here to scold you as to why you did not finish" :)
Khair ... the stuff above was (obviously :)), in light humor ...
Coming to a serious note, Dads are our ideals. For most of us - for things we want to do / become, and for some of us - things we do not want to do / become ... :)

Like every good thing, this blog is coming to an end now ... however, before that, the cause of writing it should be justified ... so ...

Happy Father's Day ...

sufficient reasons to celebrate ...but not only...

I passed my +2 board exam with sec div (very poor marks in math the only subject my father belives that should be in course curriculam :( ) and had prepared
myself for a good "DOZE". I was surprized when at dinner I was only asked about the result of cricket tournament I was participating :).

Happy Father's Day
