No preaching, no gyaan! Just one thought – ‘LOVE YOURSELF!’

‘It may sound selfish. But you know what, be selfish! Only if you take care of yourself,you will be able to take care of others. And how can others love you, if youdon’t love yourself!’

‘No sacrifice but a lot of adjustments!’

If you see him, you may think this man really doesn’t worry about anything. And yes, that’s true. He doesn’t! What he really worries about is - his own health,his clothes, his hair – well dyed and he should look younger by the day :-)

We look more at others than our ownselves but he looks more at himself than others. His face is always beaming with a smile. And the first question he asks me every morning is - ‘How old do I look?’ And my answer is always ten years lesser than his original age. And that’s a reason enough for him to celebrate.  He knows he is successful and like every successful man, he likes to hear that. 

‘Would you have been happier if you were born to a richer dad?

‘Paa,  you kidding me? You have given memore than I have ever asked for!’

And the smile wouldn’t leave his face for the rest of the day.  He loves to call himself a mechanic. For the smallest thing, from the TV remote control not working to the water tapleaking, he wants to fix it all himself. 

He has never told anyone what is right or what is wrong. He understands everyoneis tuned differently and everyone has different fundas. At the end of the day,the most important thing is - you should be happy!

And he has never told me this. I see it everyday. He is always smiling, eventhough there may be a catastrophe in his life. Now that’s how I define strength! 

He is not my papa. He is a Kid. A kid who wakes up feeling younger everyday. You may be scared to go bunjee jumping, but he will jump even before he ties the rope for the sport. Without uttering any words, he lives his life like an example for the rest, unintentionally. Wish we all could take life as lightly as he does :-) No wonder, he looks so handsome.
