I lost my mom during my childhood days! My dad did double duty in my upbringing! He gave his qualitative time to me so that I should not miss my mom! He taught me the essence of life like truthfulness, honesty,to be hardworking,meticulous,punctual and value every human beings without any discrimination between caste, creed or color.He believed every human being has a soul which is a part of God!
He always stressed the importance of education by saying that money will come and go away but the knowledge derived from education will always remain with us!
He was a great foodie who loved to cook,create and experiment new cuisines both National and International. This way I was lucky enough to learn the tricks,hacks and ways of cooking. His inspiration,motivation and encouragement and my hard working made it possible for me to be a doctor!
Today all his teachings are of great help in my daily practice which I spread to my patients! With confidence I can help my patients with their diets,recipes and regarding selected healthy meals too. Parents do keep motivating and inspiring us but unless and until we abide by it then only success can follow us!
Today whatever I am the credit goes to him! My life would have been incomplete without him around me! I truly feel blessed having such a beautiful soul who made me walk the hard path of my life in a smooth way! I do miss my dad all the way!
He was a great Angel send by God to mould my life for the betterment of others!
Today my most patients come to me to get distressed with all their problems and leave my clinic with smiles! Their blessings matter a lot to me which keeps me on the go!
Love you my Dad! Keep blessing me from above!
