I think I have become the "frog in the well", listening to the same playlist. You can also suggest singers, composers, lyricists, albums etc.
Happy father's day Daddy. Wish I could just hug you. Aap bagal waley room mei baithe ho. Zarur kisi ka status post dekha hoga. Soch bhi rahey hogey "mere khud ke sons mujhe shayad will never wish me". But it's not like that. It's just ki I can't muster courage. I know we both share a bond which can't be defined by a single day, but sometimes I think how damn lucky are daughters vis a vis sons in these particular cases. They are usually expressive and find it extremely easy with daddys. My dad is gentleman in the purest sense. He made suee that our education never faced any hiccups, whatever may be the situation. He introduced me to wonderful world of reading "jab se maine hosh sambhala hai". I remember how painstakingly he made me to cultivate the habbit of reading newspaper way back in class 4-5. He wholeheartedly supports my decisions of writing this exam. Never imposes any kind of restrictions what so ever. Argues politely whenever there is ideological differences between us (he says matbhed manbhed mei nahi badalney chahiye). Helps my mom when as a equal partner, and really treats her like a queen. Maybe it's his demeanor which installed the basics of feminism in my mind without uttering the word 'feminism', and much before I encountered this term formally in my higher education. I aspire to be like him- like a good husband, like a good citizen who wholeheartedly devoted his life to his nation (like literally and metaphorically), like a good dad.
Thank you all for providing me a safe space so that I can pour my emotions unscripted.
A dear friend once sent me this when I was in the deeps of despair about prep not going well.
Can really soothe that racing aspirant heart.
You're so ambitious for a juvenile
But then if you're so smart tell me,
Why are you still so afraid?
You better cool it off before you burn it out
You got so much to do and only
So many hours in a day
Oooof.
You'll may be cool, but are you this cool ?
Whenever my mind wanders from studying, my brain automatically sings this to me.
(Special attention from 2:40 seconds, where RD Burman skilfully cahanges the gear of the song. And what we noobs can say anything about Rafi saab. Phenomenal singing. I think he won that year's Filmfare for this)
