👀 Dekhneka Nazariya... Perception matters!

It is so rightly said: “Change the way you look at things and the things you look at change.”

It feels soo good when a person can turn your anger, anxiety, desires- that seem un-achievable, concerns etc into Happiness/Possibility when he/she comes up with a solution or a different perception, a view that is beyond how you look at the situation at that point of time.

I feel soo blessed that I had a chance to encounter such a lovely person in my life who has an answer/a better view to my concerns, making me feel good,special and wanted!

👀 Once my best friend and I had a fight, a little misunderstanding and I said to him in anger, “I think we need a break” to this what my sweet friend said is: “Yes!!, bolo kahan chalein??”

 👀 Once while chatting just like that casually, I said to my friend “aap 

kehte ho, ki humne aapko chane ke jhad pe bithaya hai” (this Hindi phrase is for false praise!) meaning I praise him often and more (Yes I do it because he is really good, and not false praise) to this he had an awesome reply, he said, “Aapne humko chaneke jhad pe bithaya, par you know what?? Your chaneka jhad is on the tallest building of the world”

👀 Once while talking on phone, I was angry with him as he was going on saying “yes man, no man!” I said angrily to him “What is this 'yes man, no man'?? I am a woman!!”  To that he replied to me saying, “Who said?, You are a sweetheart, beautiful, darling!!” J ;)

👀 Once he had called me on phone after a hectic day, but it was his weekend, I said, “You must be tired na?” to this he very smartly replied, “I can go on the whole night long, your phone won’t go out of battery(landline) and ill put my phone for charging.”

👀 Once he gifted me and my sister a wrist watch for our birthdays (as our birthdays are very close (mine in Feb hers in March) he brought a gift for both of us),  I asked him, “so watches for us both??” to this he replied, “Yes, Gold- for your sister and 'Rose Gold' for you!” [He an awesome explanation too  he said: "a rose gold watch  rose- valentine day gift and gold-birthday gift] J ;)

👀 Once while chatting I told him “close your eyes and tell me the names of faces/pictures/things you see” (it seems that when one does this, their girl friends pictures are to be seen ;)) As a reply to this, he sent me my 10 plus pictures!! What a gesture to cherish!! J

👀 And the best of all, the cherry on the cake was:

I told him, “I collected one side of the fare to come to meet you...” and he replied, “so what?? You can come and never return!!”

Not all of us can think in terms like these most of the time..Thank-You soo much my friend, for making me see things from your perspective that is soo much beyond my perception. Feel very special to have met you and known you.Looking forward to having many such opportunities, to see things your way! ;)

Dear Daddy

Dear Daddy,

                  You have always spread the cheer, wishing all whom you met, the greetings for the day, and to me “Good Morning” when I woke up in the mornings and as a kid I didn’t reply you the same as I was not so happy to wake up and go to school! (I regret it now) and when any guests came, you made them feel comfortable and at home..If while cooking some dish, some of its ingredients were missing, you never hesitated to step out and get it from any corner of the world and at any time, hats off to your enthusiasm, and the love for all of us. Although you were from a different religion yet never complained even little about anything, always took part with body, mind and soul in all the festivities and prayers. 

                 At times I know I have been hard and demanding, been rude, fought with you for silly things, yet you just let it all go with a smile. You scolded us at times but never beat, I thank you a ton for being there for me, by my side always. You always kept yourself as last priority, thought and still think of others well being first.

                I remember how neat and clean you used to make me ready for school when I was in primary, and you used to put incense when I used to have head bath.

                  I also remember the royal mango and ice-cream treats on summer nights on our terrace.. They were of soo much joy!  

How you used to feed me when I was small, last few spoons were left and I didn't want to eat,  how skillfully you made a story and fed me.. Not just then but even in recent times when I used to get late to school/college you fed me before I left home. 

                I remember how much pain you have taken, while I was in college, tuition was far with odd timings, yet daily for 2 years you took me to them without complaining, though you were still working, you took time from office and came to pick and drop me whenever necessary. My friends who saw you do it for me, used to say to me, "so lucky you are, truly your daddy's princess!" Not just that, whenever I felt bored at home in holidays, you took me for a ride on our two-wheeler.

                You have never thought of your own happiness as 1^st at anytime in your life, always think of others happiness 1st.. I remember how you went to the fish market to buy fish, just because we liked to eat..You never thought that it's smell while cooking might irritate you or anything like that as you don't eat it.. You taught me maths, as I was not that great at it.. Also in college taught me Hindi (as u know how dedicated the staff is in colleges, specially PU colleges) and we still remember some stories and cherish those learning experiences.

               You always thought of our comfort, took us in an hired car for feasts and holiday trips..It was soo sweet of you to make us feel soo good all the time.

I don't know what I can do to tell you how grateful I am to You, you are the best..I haven't met any other perfect person as you, so disciplined and good. I always used to say to you, how and from where you bring all the energy from, your voice was soo clear and commanding, I always said "talk softly.. why are you screaming!!", little did I know then that You would stop it all soo suddenly..I cannot see you this weak and weary, Dad, I want you to get strong and be the same and strong as before. 

It is soo rightly said that "Dad is a Daughters First Love and Hero".. Dad you have always been my sweetest..You are the best dad in the whole world, I am proud to be your daughter, I Love you a lot..
