Dear Papaji,
“On Your
Ekyayshi”
Each birthday I would plan a small gift for you, a
surprise or at times and at times I would ask you-for which you would modestly
refuse.
This birthday is huge and hence I would like to
present my feelings from the bottom of my heart and thank you for everything-
right from bringing me into this world to - being with me at every stage of my
life.
A friend ‘philosopher and guide is not just a cliché’
………..
Adjectives like
humble,honest,hardworking,helpful,holistic,hail and hearty represent the “h” in
your name.
But there are so many more I feel each of the 26
letters of the alphabet would well describe the qualities in you.
· An
All rounder,Always ready to advise and help
· A
Self built man,Adventutous,Leader Orator,Outspoken,Extrovert,Always the Centre
Figure of the Crowd.
· Knowledgeable-
in a vast variety of fields, be it
social,political,history,geography,politics,medicine,
travel,religion,music
and legal matters and current affairs-a voracious reader.
· A
fast learner and a great Techsavvy for today’s age and times-you are
everywhere-Whatsapp,Facebook,Instagram,Twitter,Blogger Youtube and Linkedin.
· A
Braveheart,a Great Planner, Researcher and Foody.
The qualities
I appreciate and love most and would try to imbibe within are;
· Anything
in excess is poison-applies to all walks of life.
· Never
to borrow and never to lend-if lent save the relation rather than ask back.
· Accept
life for what it gives and move ahead.
· Raising
your voice does not prove your right- be firm but graceful.
· Discipline
to be followed in all that you do.
·
Be
an Omnist when you follow religion but never pay heed to
false beliefs and baseless rituals.
Hence on your 81st Birthday I can only
give you a promise to imbibe and carry these qualities forward for as long as I live,and always be a
good daughter and human being forever.
Love you loads .May you be so hail and hearty and
bless your great great grand children.
