FATHERS & DAUGHTERS

"Once I wished upon a star
for a daughter to love,
then one day you came into my life, like a burst of sunshine..
Now every year I watch u grow more wonderful,
and every year I love u more..
Happy Birthday Darling!!"
These are the words of a card I will never forget.. a card my dad sent me for my birthday..I don't remember how old I turned that day but I will remember it till however old I turn in the future..!
There has to be a reason God made dads and I think it is to remind every girl just how special she is.
Every Friday for as long as I remember (till I was young enough to wear those frilly frocks!)I had to wear a decent dress,with shoes and frilly socks when we went for mass...and every Friday my dad would tell me that I look beautiful.. even on the days I wore the most outrageous outfits and even I knew that! But the point is he wasn't even lying to me.. to him I did look beautiful... and I probably would, even in a paper bag!!
I sometimes wonder why the bond between a father and daughter is so much deeper..I like to think its because I'd never feel how he feels about me.I never can..because when I have children of my own I'd only know what a mother feels for her daughter.. you get the flow?
Maybe that's how it works!
I think any girl who's watched "Father of the Bride" knows that her dad's gonna feel the same way... that what he's more worried about is her finding the right guy who he's scared might take his place...
Well I'm not married or even in a relationship but i think i know that there can't be anyone in the world who can ever replace my dad for me! & I can vouch for all daughters to feel the same way!
So this is for all the dads in the world who will obviously never admit their fears:) That to a daughter regardless of whether she's 5 or 55, there is no man who will ever measure up to her daddy :)

RELATIONSHIPS ?!!?%#%&^*^%%

What do relationships mean to different people? How different is one relationship from the next or how similar?? For some people, its so important what other people think of them.. to the extent that they live their whole lives trying to impress the world..! Most of the time we don't realize that we really are not answerable to anyone! (Except on judgment day of course;)) But then again, can you live your life without caring about what the world thinks? I mean ultimately, come on, let's be honest, we all wanna be universally loved ;) But then, of the 100's of people we interact with.. Why is it that some people have such a huge impact on our lives? For no reason at all? And it hurts when you don't have the same impact on them? I think its more of what importance we give the other person that lets them have that impact on us in the first place! So it all then comes to why we give some people so much more importance.And do they really deserve all that extra attention in a

On love, dreams and loss

I think the worst part of young romance is that; yes, they fade away because of a simple cause like age, but unfortunate still is that you lose a friend. Probably one that you could have had for life. That is the worst part really, the departure of a true friend. On losing friends, The loss of a friend. By death or as bad when you are both alive and not willing to kick ball together. I have lost more than one friend not because of death. Fortunately, I have lost none to death ; so I cannot truly say which is worse by experience. What I have experienced is that we allow different parts of our personality to come alive with different friends and when the friendship dies; sadly, that part of us does too. On Dreams, Dreams are a mystery. Are they in some strange way reality? Are they even connected to reality? Or are they just an interpretation of what we really want? For all we know they could just be random thoughts the mind brings together when it gets bored of the sleeping

My grandmother was a top ranking student until grade 9, after which her studies were abruptly discontinued & she was married to my grandfather at age 16.  She loved to talk about her keen interest to study, her father and her hometown of Coonoor. Her stories were of a carefree childhood turned into rushed adulthood, when she had to figure out cooking and managing a family. She stayed up a whole night sowing just so she could stitch a dress for my mother (a 2yr old) that she couldn't afford to buy & prove a point. She was a very determined person.  Most of my favourite memories are from when she was still young and able (or should I say extremely capable). She was a very lively person. She loved dogs, and some rather strange pets she had (including a rooster).. she would get her dogs dressed up with sunglasses and a potu at times. She was intelligent, hardworking and did a lot for all of us when she could. She was an amazing host, a great cook and she loved to teach biology
