dad,

Sunil

:
‘So
much
of
who
I
am
today
is
because
of
everything
you’ve
done
and
stood
for.
The
values
you
lived
by,
the
strength
you
showed,
and
the
quiet
wisdom
in
your
actions

they
built
the
foundation
of
my
life.

‘Thank
you
for
being
my
first
hero,
my
silent
guide,
and
the
reason
I
strive
to
be
better
every
day.
Happy
Father’s
Day,
dad.’

Father’s
Day
to
all

everything.
Pa
I
value
all
our
conversations,
laughs,
arguments
and
cricket
talks.
I’m
so
happy
to
be
able
to
get
the
oppurtunity
to
work
with
you
again.

‘I’m
still
a
work
in
progress
but
I
hope
when
I’m
your
age
my
kid
finds
me
as
cool
as
I
find
you.’

‘Confidence
is
the
one
thing
people
say
I
have
in
abundance..
here’s
to
the
man
who
gave
it
to
me
and
taught
it
to
me..
he
used
to
call
me
his
tigress
and
always
told
me
to
be
as
loud
and
proud
as
I
wanted
without
a
filter!

‘It’s
his
birthday
this
week
as
well
