- If today, I can write English, am confident, have made sense out of my life and stay cool when things get sizzling hot, it's all because of my dad.
- Can't remember when he shouted at me, or anybody else for that matter.
- He introduced me to the world of words, giving me comics first, then Enid Blyton, James Hadley Chase and then Arthur Hailey and Sidney Sheldon. He too was an avid reader.
- Lost in the realm of imagination, I lived among created characters and always had a ready word for all situations.
- Shy and recluse, but still I let my hair down only in front of close ones. And my dad would always laugh at whatever I did and was proud of me. This was a great encouragement and made me sure of myself.
- More than everything, he introduced me to the world through various books. Such an experience still stands me in good stead.
- I thank him, though he is among those enjoying eternal life.

Krish, I was reminded of my own dad who encouraged me to read. A fine tribute.
Yea I was also reminded of my dad after reading this...But the truth is sometimes I think why my dad is pushing many things on me when I really do not like them but after understanding him I started accepting it but yet...........anyways the relationship between a DAD and his CHILD(Every DAD thinks his Son or Daughter is still a KID I think)is very precious...
