One of the more responsible cadre for men. The unselfish soul who has to live for each one in the family. An incredible human being who contorts & gyrates to everyone’s opinion in the family. He toils like a solitary reaper long hours just for the well being of his kinsfolk. Despite a million ambition & hopes entombed within his inside, his face blooms to fulfil the ambitions of his wife & children.Ceaseless workhorse who travels beyond the horizon for the aspiration of his family members. He sweats , slogs , struggles so that happiness , coziness resonates for his descendants. Gives so much & takes back not even a minuscule. Never frets if there is a problem but always keeps probing again & again to wriggle out of it. Though he recriminates wealth for his generation to come, nothing scores it over than the smiles on his children’s faces. He has to be a husband , father , son & has to change to so many faces as and when the situation demands. Time just whizzes past when he asks himself “ Have I done anything for my self”. Almost all the hair had greyed leaving out only a few strands of black hair. The well chiseled face loses it sheen with wrinkles. He spends rest of his life as a child entertaining his grandchildren.

Great narration. People tend to love mom than dad, however dad sacrifices a lot for the children. So many responsibilities, so much struggle for the family. Selfless member in the family is dad.
