Thank you dad for being there.. Happy Fathers Day !!

Once again I welcome you all to my world ! And once again nothing new or unusual has taken place in my daily routine so there isnt anything worth mentioning about the day. However, Aparna has suddenly decided to leave Saudi Arabia and go to Banglore , her flight is on Thursday I guess. Well I dont know if I should say adios to you aparna, because you have just moved a step closer to Bangladesh and Manipal, two places where I will be spending the next 3 years of my life ( inshallah). So anyways, all the best appu and hope you have an amazing flight with amazing meals ! Please do tell me about them when you reach there. So other than the " Aparna leaving news" we have the grande finale of the La Liga on Sunday. It has to be another exciting night ! Any of the three teams can win the championship! Its also going to be David Beckham and Robert Carlos's last game for Real Madrid and I do hope that they can walk away with their heads held high ! All the best to the Madrid team. Right, lets also not forget we have Barcelona and Sevilla, two teams who equally share the chance to win the La liga with Real Madrid. It is going to be one hell of a night !

So moving on, how many of you actually know that today is " Fathers Day" ? Sure, I bet most of you didnt even know that ! ha ! So thank me for reminding you all ! Actually honestly speaking, even I didnt know that today was supposed to be fathers day. It was Sheena who reminded me through facebook. I know that most of us, especially us guys, we are comparitively closer to our moms and there is nothing wrong with it. Its just natural and as a matter of fact our prophet (PBUH) had once said that the amount of love for our mother should three time more than the love for our fathers. I am not that good in exact Islamic quotations, forgive me for that, but I am sure that that was what he meant.

But nevertheless, that doesnt mean that we should stop loving our dads ! Of course not! And I think its a huge shame that we actually fail to remember the importance of this day ! Especially me , because i think my dad has had a huge influence in my life. I lived alone with my dad for the past 5 years and it is said that the age period between 10-16 requires very good grooming. That little span of life decides how a person's future is going to be. So i can actually say , that my dad groomed me single handedly and looking back at those 5 years i dont think there was even a single moment when i had to regret living without my mother.


My dad is an English professor and works double shift. He has classes both during the morning and the evening. Inspite of all that he used to come home cook lunch , take a small break , asked me about school and my plans and then go back to college again. He also had time to drop me for tuitions, trainings and any other place that i wanted to go to. He also did a lot more which I have to agree got me a bit spoilt ! hehe. But, I really didnt realize how much he worked for me back then, but now that I am here in Bangladesh with my mom and siblings I do feel his stress. I mean me being a lazy ass didnt help my dad at all , but inspite of that he never complained. I guess my dad was like air to me, you know what I mean. You cant see it, but you really need it and you only understand its importance when its not there.


So dad , I just hope that you are in good health in Saudi and that you come home soon and stop getting tensed about us here in Bangladesh ! ha ! Thats another thing about my dad, he just can never stop getting tensed ! Always worried about my mom and us . Thank you dad for everything that you have done and I really miss you today...


Hehe sorry guys i think i got a bit too emotional back there, but hey thats just how i am !

So , have a nice day and hey dont forget to give your dad a hug today .I know it may sound weird to some of you out there but trust me it feels really good . Thank you once again for reading my blog and until the next time you log on to my blog ADIOS.

cheers,

Naim.
