Happy Parent's Day

Happy Parent's Day

Happy Parent's Day. This is one of my favourite picture from my album. The love, warmth, joy, comfort, pride and care all depicted in one. No matter how many years and whatever situation we have been, these emotions have nurtured my character.
Last time, when Papa was in town, we drove to Greater Noida for a day out. When we were heading back home, looking at me driving with ease, he proudly put his hand on my head and said, "your my wonder woman... very strong lady."

Hmm.. while their emotions nurtured my character, my strength and the craze to fight my everyday fears came from Joanna. I can never forget the day, when this 6 year old daughter of mine, had cupped my face with her tiny hands, looked straight into my teary eye and said, " Your a very strong woman Mumma...." Those words resonated so loud, that I had to believe it. If, I weren't a parent, I would have never fought my fears. I would have never traveled alone, never even thought of swimming, never tried paragliding, never learnt to play guitar and definitely not in my wildest dreams would have ever driven a car. They were all my fears and distant ambitions. And the only way I dealt with them was when I wanted to give her that extra love, extra warmth, extra joy, extra comfort, extra moment to be proud and extra care. So Happy Parent's Day to me too :)
