What I have realized is there is always so much to learn from a situation, a person, and even during the hardest of times, one apprehends how strong can one be. Among the incident and date which can never be forgotten in our lives is of mid-January. There are so many things that we have learnt from that one individual who has always helped people around him, gotten smiles in many faces, and has created an impact in numerous lives. There are many who feel blessed to be knowing a person like him. People from different walks of life remember him dotingly, as different age groups of people get inspired by his discipline towards life.

I am not done describing about that one person, my dad, who took care of me since I came to this planet, and took care of many others in his everyday life. He was a perfectionist, and his work would start and finish with detail and calculations. His principles were very strong yet he was open to suggestions.The calm and patient nature of his had left many mesmerized. The simplicity of his had taught many that life is all about the small things in life, happiness that could be acquired from enjoying a cup of tea, at the home garden on a beautiful day. I have seen a lot of people talk about it, but believing and practicing strongly has been really less. His love for nature made the garden space look different each quarter. He took care of the smallest maintenance in the house, fixing the tube light to getting the paints in the wall. He knew everything, he managed all of it, he was a superhero, my super dad.

His teachings on life were incredible, and the time that we had with him has become a treasure. While he is gone, he has left us so many things that we can still learn, that was the beauty of him. He has taught each one of us how we are stuck up in things which really does not matter in the end, he has made us realize how uncertain life can be, and one cannot race against time. He has made us question our purpose in life and why are each one of us struggling so hard for material things which is of no consequence in a larger form. He has taught us that a true warrior needs to conquer himself and he did that with his life beautifully.

He has given us many directions; it is for us to choose. What I feel is we could and would have learnt all of it, not on the cost of letting him go and not meeting him again.

P.S I miss playing badminton with you!
