Raised By An Indian Father : “MY FATHER GAVE ME THE GREATEST GIFT ANYONE COULD GIVE ANOTHER PERSON, HE BELIEVED IN ME.” – JIM VALVANO.

I’m sure that many will relate to this quote.

Our Fathers are our heroes, right? They set great examples for us, they work hard, and they sacrifice big things just so that we can live an easy LIFE.

If Indian Mothers are known for asking “Did you have food?” Fathers always want to know “Do you have money? Shall I send you money?”

No matter how bad financial situation the family is in, he still returns with home with a packet of biscuits in his hand for his kids.

Dad speaking with the kid over phone

American Dad: I was worried about you.
Japanese Dad: I was worried about you.
Indian Dad: Mom was worried about you.

(Isn’t this true? Our dads will never tell us that he were worried about us. But yes, they’ll say our mom was worried, just to hide their emotions.”)

5. Atreyee Ray –

It was a Sunday afternoon. I had an exam at my coaching institute. I performed really bad in it although my peers had done well. I was disappointed at myself. It wasn’t the first time. My IIT dreams were slowly shattering with each passing week. I couldn’t hold myself up. I called my dad. He was enjoying a lazy Sunday nap at home.

“Baba, tumi amake nite esho. Ami ashte parbona scooty kore.” *sobbing*

(Translation: Dad, come to pick me up. I can’t manage to go back riding my scooty)

Dad realized something was wrong. He didn’t ask any questions. He came within 20 minutes, rode me back home and gave me a long motivational talk back at home.

Lesson learnt: Dad is always going to stand by me.
