Happy fathers, Happy families in 21st century

Preamble

Sometimes, when I think I am having good writing skills and suddenly someone told me to write about father. For the particular moment, I started doubting my skills as writing about father is also just like writing about mother. It is not just going through the books, internet resources and elaborate some paragraphs based on the lines picked from these resources. To write about him, you are required to feel like a him and to feel like him first you need to be a father. I don’t know, exactly from where to start? But I am still making efforts to write, what I observed through my father and the society……. So, let start with narrative of Being a Father……….

Understand the points

Sometimes, it looks very easy to be a father. Some may say it as just doing their jobs / businesses and providing resources to the family. But in reality, this is not that simple as we think. There are plenty of times, when he sacrifices his needs just to fulfil his family’s needs. He even takes care of his family requirements by going beyond the situations.

Being a father is to do all that which is required to nurture his family without realising them the disturbances of the external world. For him, happiness lies in the happiness of family and whenever, there are some turbulent times, he always remains at the front to cope up with the challenges.

When his children grow up, he feels extremely joyous with their accomplishments and feats. He even forgot his own pain of not attaining / realizing his own ambitions due to one or other reasons. He starts dreaming through his children’s eyes and always feels his achievements through their successes. When his child gift him something, he always says such gifts as expensive ones and advise them to make expenses wisely for future. However, there are plenty of times, he could not give the sufficient time to his family due to one or other reasons. It doesn’t mean that he does not prioritise his family. He always works for the well-being of his family.

Father as the dangerous person in the family

As we all know the fact that mothers have soft heart in most of the cases. She usually treats her children by pampering them during every situation. At this point, fathers are usually required to take the responsibility for preparing them for future hardships. In most of the situations, we realised that they criticise us every time for even a small mistake. Actually, this is their common way to correct and prepare us for further learnings of life.

So, to most of us, he remains as most dangerous person of our family. This is how, we started talking less with him. But whenever we ask something to our mother, she always pass our requirements to our father in order to fulfil them. But reality is that, they are like that coconut, which remains tough from its outside but soft from the inside.

Important one

Even after growing so much, we have always realised that our earnings are always less than that small pocket money given by our fathers. और फिर ये कहावत भी है कि “जो मजा बाप कि कमाई से खर्च करने में है वो अपनी कमाई में कहाँ”

No matter how much we have grown and becomes old, still, we cannot match the aura of being a father……….

Conclusion

For the children’s like us, he is a superman. He has always been a torch bearer for us in our tough situations.

As it was typical for me to start for writing over father, it is also typical for me to finish the same as there are countless thoughts in my mind to write over the same.

Finally, I can only say that being a father is also not so easy just like a mother. If, mere presence of mothers in the home makes Happy Home, then presence of a father makes the home complete home.

Here, I feel not so comfortable in wishing father’ day as I believe that in order to match the contribution of him to the family, one day is not sufficient. Still, Happy Father’s Day.

Dedicated to my father and eldest sister, who is no less than my parents in nurturing me. Thanks almighty for blessing me with them.

One special salute to those, who are fulfilling the responsibilities of being a father and mother both.

Thanks
