Father!

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.

Father is the most hardworking man in the family and asks for little or no appreciation in return.
