“The one person who can take various roles in his life is a father.”

Everyone has a role model in their life but the first thought that comes into our mind while thinking of strength will retrieve an image in our mind that is of our “Father”. I was born on May 3rd in the year 2001. I do not know why but I remember everything from the moment when I started to understand things around me. My father’s name is Dr. S. Kaladhar Reddy. He learnt a lot during his education. He is a successful doctor. He is an icon of medicine. He is the only one who had predicted the disease of many patients in spite of the fact that many medico experts failed to diagnose the health condition of those patients and till today those patients remember him in every prayer of them which in turn made me inspired to help others. He is my incentive in every situation I need to solve. He taught me to rise every time I had fallen in a process to gain a position. He gave me motivation to face any situation in my life and find the best pathway to cross it by myself. He just gave me wonderful preachings of his talent which molded me not only into a best daughter but also a perfect girl who is ready to save herself and indulge happiness in her life. He taught me to spread smiles to everyone by explaining clearly that, “No one has their problems for lifetime. They are just passing clouds which just drain out in no time.” He never treated me to being reserved at any place; instead he had let me free to fly and explore anything I wanted to learn. He gave me a full lifetime freedom to learn whatever I wanted. 

Everyone tells me my mother is the best teacher but unlike this routine sentence I can say my father is the best teacher in my life. He neither let me down in any condition nor discouraged me that you are not capable of doing this. He always used to tell me, “You are my baby girl, Sonali but you will prove to everyone that you reflect a tiger in attitude and success in your life.” He never used to treat me as a baby girl because he never wanted to make me sensitive. He used to take utmost care of me. I remember that I did not spend much time with him because he is a doctor. I never used to understand when he leaves for the clinic and returns home. I just remember that whatever the late night time it is I used to wait until he comes home and feeds me then goes to bed. He is the greatest gift in my life. He has an excellent IQ level score which makes him remember everything of his MBBS course which always makes me realise that gaining knowledge is equally important as scoring a GPA. He was an excellent teacher. He taught me studying, playing, reading, thinking innovatively, exploring myself, participating in every competition conducted throughout my network. He just always told me that winning does not matter but what we learn from a task matters the most, where I learnt to take part in every competition, contest, challenge etc. and won first place most of the time. He stood as an icon of inspiration for many who settled well today. He gave me the best memories of my life right from caring for a person to facing a challenge. He taught me where to speak and shout because things happen exactly according to your pace. I learnt to talk slowly and politely when the others do understand what we are trying to say and it is the same me who screams to get things done if others think I am silent and soft. He is the only special person in my life who gave everything to me. He used to never refuse any wish of mine and fulfilled them at any time which gave me the quality of sacrifice which does not hurt me for the happiness of others. He never told me, “You are a girl. You should be silent and listen to whatever anyone says because if you go on listening to everyone what is your life for you?”. This sentence planted a strong feeling in my mind and heart that until and unless I am wrong I do not need to listen to any other third person in my life which made me learn to completely rectify any worry of my life by myself just by remembering my father’s face and thinking to solve gives me the finest answer to my troubles. 

He is ever smiling which helps me not to cry because I learnt the value of tears when I lost him at the tender age of six and half years. Anyone does not leave a child alone in trekking, rock climbing etc. but my father made me learn even these hardest trekking and rock climbing by myself because I did not have him beside me. 

Everything happens for a reason and in my life whatever I had done happened because of my fathers’ motivation and lots of love for me. It is a fact I lost him forever but I am still happy that he reflects himself completely in my best friend. Sometimes I remember all the things and golden times spent with him and cry a lot because I start talking to myself as if God had taken my father away for that distance which he can never return back to me. Even this gives me a thought that he is always beside me to guide me. No one might believe but it is a fact that if you close your eyes because of depression and just think of your favorite person to find an answer you feel their presence and might also hear their voice.

I would like to conclude that father is the only one who builds up a bright future for you as a one in lifetime gift for you. So, know his hard work and importance in your life by doing a small thing to respect and love him truly.
