YOU NEVER SAID...

You never said:
But I know-
You were glad enough to see my smiling face.


You never said:
But I know-
You were deeply distressed to see me in tears.


You never said:
But I know-
You were angry when a playmate hit me.


You never said:
But I know-
You were proud of me when I won a prize.


You never said:
But I know-
You consider me as one of the greatest gifts of your life.


I never said:
But you know it well-
Dad, I love you more than life.

Lovely...

Just raises a curious question in my mind - "are all dads the same - the affectionate silent overseeing power?". Even before you answer I know it is a no. But most dads would line up in this category.

Lovely dedication.

Nice post! I know, there are very few people in our life who says everything to us using without or few words that how they feel gifted & loved, and proud for us. And without any doubts the two of them (Mom & Dad) always top the list :)

MRS DESPATCHER(PART II)

CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS POST… Eighteen months later…. I was beginning to like my work. It was a challenge sometimes. I had learnt to go beyond boundaries. The dreams which had eluded me once, were dawning as reality now. I had my taste of success and as they say nothing succeeds like success. I had developed a knack for solving my own problems. One day , I chanced by a couple who were seated in a corner of the quaint little coffee shop. I couldn’t believe my eyes…. Divya and Sandip…here of all places. I couldn’t help but confront them. Divya was warmer than ever before and Sandip… I knew he was feeling a bit coy..its so typical of him. But I was more than surprised when he asked me to join them. Though I didn’t refuse, they found me going after five minutes. I invited them for lunch on Sunday. It was a fine Sunday morning and my guests were sharp on time. Divya offered me help in the kitchen and I chose not to refuse. My books kept Sandip busy. She could read my mind and went on with h

ILLUSIONS OF REALITY...

The more you point out my mistakes, The more you are drawn towards me. The more you try to hurt me, The more you bleed in your heart. The more you run away from me, The more my memories haunt you. The more you want to forget me, The more you are reminded of my presence. The more you want to chase me away, The closer I come to you. The more you hate me, The more you end up loving me. The more you call me an “illusion” The more I dawn as the reality of your life….
