Dad, I was never your Son!

-


 

You called me Princess, you called me doll

& when I was growing up you called me superwoman,

I loved it all as it was so much fun,

But you never called me your son

 

You never called me your son

As that would have meant that sons are better

But for you the difference never mattered

 

It didn’t matter whether I wear frock or I wear shorts

Whether I play with doll or with cars

On my graduation, you opened a bottle of scotch from your bar

 

Whether it was an adventure sport or a trip to Iraq

You encouraged me to pursue all the things

I didnt see many girls at these places

Because it was their fathers who didn’t give them the wings

 

I don’t say it enough, but I am really thankful

For not only giving me this life but letting me live the life

I am not your son neither I want to be

For you taught me that a good kid is what I should be

From GST to politics to cricket to Netflix, I was loving the way we were changing the discussion topics like Mumbai weather. Engrossed in a serious discussion about how India is moving, finally Amit remembered that we are supposed to feed ourselves. On asking my choice - I expressed my desire to have a tap beer. Isnt that too precise and why Tap beer. So, my subconscious mind remembered that it was a dry day. Both laughed as this wasn’t the first time I was asking for something that was unavailable. With a giggle Chetal diagnosed me to be suffering from Tap beer syndrome – basically chasing something what I cant get. That made me think, whether  I feel very needy or maybe greedy in those moments. I am weird and I like that awkwardness. But I am not alone.  "Too often, the thing you want most is the one thing you can't have," heard Meredith
