A dynamite of blazing optimism as the steps tread resolutely upon hapless floor ,

Majestic bristles of grey engulfing a handsomely robust jawline ,

Raw bundle of energy compounded with fearless streaks of adventure to clamber the mountain,

An unparalleled commitment to each project undertaken ; to take it to an honest success ,

A desire to excel in whatever stage life offered ; without the tiniest of enviousness towards others who were better off ,

Thorough professionalism which never got office work to home ; relishing the verdant landscapes of the lawn with a rejuvenating stroll ,

A flamboyant charmer with unmatched talking skills ; that converted the most dogmatic “ No “ into a mesmerizing “ Yes “,

Sheer astuteness compounded with an unbiased desire to make it independently ; evolving a lavish civilization from threadbare scratch ,

Rustic truth which earned hostile foes at occasions more than friends ; but which culminated into royally satisfying victory at the end ,

Profound love for the environment and wildlife ; flourishing with mother nature in its lap ; without asserting the slightest of spurious power or might ,

A loyalty to spouse whose examples were cited to household’s in strife ; as an outstanding human saga of real life conviction , faith , understanding and forbearance ,

Hailed as the Supremo of Denim in our very own Manchester of Textiles; Ahmedabad ,

Most importantly a faith in God and his holy messengers which gave him his own inimitable position on mortal earth ; as he happily jostled in his freshly constructed Kingsized farmhouse ,

The man turns 59 years today by the grace of God .
And though I have no regrets of not following his marketing prowess and write Poetry instead . I am still proud to have him as my Father .

Here’s wishing you Daddy a  Happy Birthday for today , this gloriously enthralling 25th July , 2009
