To my Dad!

I still believe....
that it's the statue that knocks on my head really in Meenakshiamman temple when I tap on the drum in its hand

that promissory notes of treats at Arun icecreams or Supreme Hotel can make people work harder and with more enthusiasm

that bed-time serials with highly creative bgm can make a day complete

that God is everywhere, anytime for me

that gender bias in education is the stupidest thing conceived by people

that it's possible to have enormous fun and at the same time be responsible

that making funny faces and actions and noises can lift up low spirits

that books are the best companions

that tolerance is the biggest asset one can possess

that friends bring a lot of joy in life

that money is to be spent - not locked in.

that it is possible to get more than the money's worth by sharing it with others

that every cloud has a silver lining

that birthdays ought to be made special

that my Dad has a solution to everything....that Cricket will never be half as much fun as watching it with him.... that even so many miles apart I still share a strong bond with my Dad that makes me feel so secure and in place....And that there's never a wrong time to eat chicken ;D (makes mom mad!)

Happy Birthday, Daddy! Love you! :)
