To my Superhero...My DAD

It was Fathers Day yesterday and this is the first time in life that I was away from my dad on this very special day. Wanted to dedicate this blog to the one and only Superhero of my life....My dadda....just to let you know that how much I missed you and you mean the most to me in this whole world.
My dad...He never told me how to live life, all he did was lived his own life with his principles and let me watch him do so. And this made him my biggest inspiration.
My dad has served the Indian Air Force for 20 long years so he has always been a fitness freak and I am highly inspired by this quality of his. He always says that health comes before anything else in this world. He is a man with few principles of his own which he follows irrespective of anything else.
Coming to my relationship with my dad....I am very proud to be my Papa's Princess....I call him baba and he is my best buddy. Baba knows all my secrets and is always there to give an ear even to my silliest topics. If my mom tells me something 1000 times, I hardly bother to hear it but if the same thing comes from my dad....I instantly start thinking over it. Baba has always been by my side but he made it a point to make me an independent human being. Whether it be going and spending my whole day in getting my domicile certificate or making a career choice...he has always left it to me.
I happened to come across some beautiful marathi lines which I felt are appropriate to describe my dad so I am writing them here....
"Ayushyachya Uun-Paavsat, baba tuch dilas aasra,
swataha jhel les kashta pan majha chehra thevlas hasra,
fedu mhanla tari fedta yenar nahi, baba tujhe upkar,
tujhya mulech hou shakli majhi sarva swapne sakaar.
Bagh baba tula me ashya sukhat thevin,
saare jag tujha heva karel ashya anandat thevin."

Thats just how I can describe my dad.....Dad, you are someone to look upto no matter how tall I grow.
Luv you baba and I am truly missing you a lot....Mwwaaahhh

From USA.....

What an awesome feeling it is....a cup of coffee, plate full of doritos, cloudy weather and me with my laptop. Here I am...finally writing a blog after ages, sitting in the lawn just in front of our university apartment....Oh yes...I am in USA. It is no less than a dream come true in a real sense. Who doesnt wanna go abroad....all of us do and moreover when dis opportunity knocks your door through your college...it is altogether a very special feel.
I really couldnt believe it when I got to know about it from my college. Though it came up throgh college but from our sides we had to put in quite a big amount which I really dint think was that easy for my parents to put up at this time. So I decided not to tell Aai-baba about it at all. But then they have always been my best buddies and I made up my mind that its my duty to convey it to them. My dad was not in town at that time so I decided to gave him a call. Baba simply asked me one thing on phone...."Do you wanna go to USA?" On my part, I tried convincing him that theres a big difference between what I want and what we can afford in reality...to which my dad instantly repeated his question...."Do you wanna go there?"......He knew my answer and that was my FIRST STEP towards my Dream Journey....
And today its been more than a month since I am here in US...making it one of the best and most memorable time of my life.
Even today it all feels like a dream and I still cannot believe that m actually here...all thanx to my Aai-Baba for being so supportive and encouraging at each and every step and turning my dream into a reality. Thanks to my attya-kaka for being there at every point and for being the best mentors...Thanks didi-jiju for being the best solution to all my stupid problems....Thanks bhayya for simply being there whenever I turned back and thanks to all my lovely buddies for being so wonderful.
I wanna dedicate this blog to all those precious people who are a part of my memorable journey and who helped me to make my dream come true.
