My Daddy Strongest – The Dhara TV ad of 90’s where the kid believed her dad could achieve anything as if he was a Superman homed Perfectly in my heart and mind, that I am still smiling while I admit this fact that I so do still encourage the child in me to perfectly Believe the message behind this ever so beautiful commercial.
My Daddy is indeed My LifeLine and My biggest Strength. There is nothing in this world that He hasn’t given me. Raised me into an individual who walks with a High Chest and Head Upright and so Full of Life ! He is the key to my success Now and Forever will be. Its truly a Blessing to have a Dad like my Papa. Daughters are an apple of their Daddy’s eye – this holds so true in my Life ! I still remember I wanted a Barbie when was 6 and even before I knew it was called a Barbie I had it on my 6th birthday not only on my birthday cake but among my Toy Family too, new clothes on each Birthday and Diwali and Trust me it used to mean a Lot in those days ;-) I often think will I be a successful Parent too !? Who would get my kids everything even before they could even dream of just Like my Dad. I still remember mom’s yelling on the chocolate munching sessions that Papa and me used to steal out of the late night’s and settle on terrace for..Phewwwww !!
Gone are the days..Why did I grow up !? Why is Life so different now that Mom and Dad Never yell at the consumption of those chocolates anymore !? Why does Mom no more hold my ears and raise her eyebrough’s and make a deal that if the glass of milk is not finished then there would be no play for the evening with the kids in the colony !? Why all the play has just become mere shopping and visiting a Mall !? Why has Life just entered a New phase without even being Demanded !? Why has the word Temptation evolved its meaning from craving of a chocolate to Earn Money and Achieve Goals !? When did Life emerge out of “playing teacher-teacher" to today’s “day to day meetings with clients and fetching Business” Why does Love now seem to be a totally new feeling !?
Funny how these words evolved and expanded my vocabulary and I so much stretched myself to believe all that Exists is this. This is it. The moment !! Just before I was able to even capture the flashes of this moment in my photographic memory there appeared a Light that outshined all the reasons inside, haunting loneliness in the eye, skin covering a secret scar and there appeared a hand waving a goodbye, there's no response or action returned, theres a deep prejudice within me, dreams all suddenly ridden with pain and projected unto the Last.
Education seems a necessary evil, what use is ‘A-Z’ if the words that comprise of these Letters aren't too Pleasant at long. Touching the score, world is green, the green buying the over rated joy. Virtues in Life good to read for the evil picture the world paints. Family ties extended, a marriage made in heaven not so heavenly while living it, it seems closest to Earth. Watching a part of me Grow, living moments whimsical. A duty bestowed by god, love blossoms on its own. Being a support for so Long, now wanting support, the call of duty shifts now, as if from Life I prepare to retire. Sitting in the arm chair with flashes of Life Lived. A smile, a tear adorn the face, illuminated by the moon.
Call of retirement comes from far, lived a World in Life, with Content & Smile I’ll close my eyes to open them in another
P.S : I am learning all the time. My Tombstone will be my Diploma !!

A journey down the memory lane.. good one..
So have u stopped craving for chocolate? i still get an orange bar whenever i can and ruin my shirt.. the only difference is now curse myself after doing it instead of getting scared of moms raised eyebrows.. haha

@ Chirag : Thanks..much appreciated :P I Love it too..was suprised Later that I wrote it he he :P
Smiles :-) :-)
There were so many things in this piece... i would have wrote a full length article of my own trying to cover each of them.. i had to pick one.. and being a guy am a slave to my instincts.. especially if its something to eat... there are two orangy things that i loved.. one was this orange toffee/Candy.. it was called 'kampat' and the other was the orange ice cream.. :D
now the same reason as above applies to the rest of the piece.. being a guy i can read about feelings/emotions but no matter how much i like it.. am uncomfortable commenting on that or writing/saying anything about it..
I said it was a 'good one'.. that says it all.. understand.. understand.. :D:D
and i read the poem right after u posted... will comment on that after a few more readings.. :)
@ Utpal : Awwwwieeee :p he he :P

Do lemme know your views..on "Poke-her-Face"
nice one.. connetin lot of things together... may be mistly but somehow do get connected.
WHY is not just any word, it is an unanswered enigma... and we mortals are fascinated with all the interpretations it makes sure are flung at us.
Nice thinking post.
