Compassionate LOVE!

To the wonderful two souls who have always talked to each other in the same language that they actually taught to their children- the language of love! And you two are simply the symbols of love for three of us.

Mummy, I know that you couldn`t study further after finishing seventh class because of the circumstances and that is the only thing you still give a miss but I want you to know that you`ve never failed to amaze three of us and that too on a regular basis. The way you managed to send your three children to the school and that too without a single miss, the way you have prepared yourself as a wife of a teacher, the way you never stopped learning, the way you encouraged three of us to study hard, the way you have handled yourself in a family like us which is an ‘educated’ one but you still managed to gain a huge respect from everyone, the way you have always welcomed all the relatives as if they are literally Gods and the way you taught us to respect our elders, I really feel blessed to have such a mother who may not have studied much but has the endless potentials to share the love! Not all can be that much of love giving. That is the thing which keeps you apart from others!

Papa, there are no exact words which could describe the care you have as a father for your children. Being a teacher, you`ve always encouraged us to read as much as we can and this is one of the things I would always owe to you. The way you`ve always loved our mother, the way you put your family always first, the way you have motivated three of us to face our fears, the way you have helped people irrespective of getting back something from them, the way you made efforts to teach us from the old texts of Hindi, the way you have allowed three of us to be ourselves and do whatever we have always wanted to do and for being a very sensitive human being who has always dreamed of better things for human kind, I can`t be on terms with the words which I could use for you! We all simply love you and that’s what we have learnt from you.

Many a times in different situations, there has come a time when one of you asked the other to put herself/himself at her/his place and tell what should be done or what could have been done? This compassionate way in which you have supported each other in your ups and downs is what I really want to see in my life too! There are a whole lot of things to learn from both of you. You two are the ones who never get tired of each other and want to be there together always. That is something really amazing.

I always remember one thing said by you (Papa) to me that -do you know why I don`t drink or smoke? I asked why and you replied- I know that I can afford both drinking and smoking on daily basis and many of my colleagues even do that too. But I simply don`t do any of that. Because I want you four people including your mother to be happy always and in order to do that, I will have to keep distance from the things which could destroy this happiness. I do not want to be insensitive towards you and I want that money to be spent on your hobbies and interests and on your books. As a father, I would do whatever I can and I would never expect much but your happiness in whatever you want to do. Just keep one thing in mind- never stop learning and never loose hope and I as a father will always be on your side.
And after hearing this, I simply cried for that time when I dared to disrespect both of you and then promised to myself that I won`t let that happen ever again!

There is this famous saying- Where there is love, there is no fear! And I have seen it from the very beginnings that you don`t fear each other and that is what helped you to get united in many down circumstances. We as children also don`t fear both of you and that is how we have grown in love. Pure love that is. 

You two are truly beautiful from inside-out. Thank you for showing us the way of love and compassion.

Happy 23!

Thank you for being there always!
