Who else it could be for a girl my age… Yes. Its my wonderful Dad.
Day before yesterday, convocation ceremony took place in my college in a grand manner. Many parents and family members were seen with great smiles in their face. I was really glad to see this scenario and am waiting for the day when I will get my degree in my UG College and also in my PG.
Today in one of my class session I was suddenly engulfed by the thought of me getting my degree (literally dreaming), with my whole family present there along with the sweet newcomer of my family ie. my nephew, and I was giving a speech in stage as per the request of naffeesa mam, and I was thinking to make a speech like this….
“Dear friends, hope u all remember me. This is something a great day I was waiting for. Some blah blah blah…………. I would like to dedicate this degree of mine to my whole family present here and specially for one person… that’s none other than my beloved dad. The great hero whom I inspire a lot. This degree is not a great achievement for him. As he had already produced two products from our family (My two elder sis). But I would like to thank him for tolerating me the whole part of my life. As I remember my school days when I show my rank card with average marks, displeasing my dad, seeming to break my dad’s dream of being a bright student in my class.(Despite of my sis’s performance as best in their respective classes). All long I have been a great worry for my dad. He used to tell only those two lines “ படிப்பு மட்டும் தான் உனக்கு கடைசியா கை கொடுக்கும். அவர் அவர் வாழ்கை அவங்க கையில தான் இருக்கு.ஒழுங்கா படிச்சிடு மா” . These words often linger in my mind.”
Thus coming out of these thoughts besides my classes going on which I realised only then. Later I was thinking about him whose simple life with ambition of giving good education to all his three daughters and worked only for the particular cause.
He has grant me a fructuous life and showed me silver lining whenever I was in my clouds. His only motto in life is “Work hard and leave the rest to God”. He never aspired for big life but always wanted to live a content life of whatever he had. I salute this great man for all his sacrifice he made for us.
Thank you dad…….
