A Very Happy 25th Anniversary Papa-Mummy...

Hi everyone!
Today is an occasion of lifetime.My Mom-Dad have grown 25 together, today.And they are happy and contended as always.But the worst thing is that none of their children are with them right now!I m here at college attending boring lectures ,Nidhi is at Nagpur attending classes for her CA preps and Vaibhav had to leave for attending the marriage of Ashish Bhaiya.Anyways,thats just a coincidence and we will surely make up for this day (Although I know this day wont return ever anyhow) when we all are together,may be in 1st week of june.
Well this is probably the day to tell the whole world how my Papa is...
Okay first,a formal introduction:My Father's name is Shri Ajay Thebaria and he is a Businessman.We have a family business of timber and recently we have also expanded to Two Wheelers Finance and Transport.Papa...he is a blend of a philosopher who really practices abstinence and a true family man who can die for us.He has been the Strongest pillar of strength to me throughout my life so far and is still going strong.I really think that the patience and understanding he has ... he is the one man responsible for the building up of my career.I remember whenever my exams used to be there...he used to tell me a single 'Mantra' and that is 'Work honestly..this is what is in ur hands..the rest(results) you cannot control'.And this always worked 'coz I knew my tensions end the day I write my exams.I am not answerable to anyone if I do bad somehow.Fortunately I did well consistently.AT times when I was down,he used to try hard to understand my problems and suggest remedies to them...most of the time solutions which have shaped me the way I am today.One thing I know of him is he cannot hate anyone,easy to mingle with but still maintains his gravity among people.Its still tough for me to disobey any of his orders even if our views differ.

I remember when I was in std V ,studying at Sainik School Tilaiya,and the family was going through very tough times....everyone was asking him to withdraw my name from the school as it was very expensive.They were suggesting the native school for further schooling...but it was his determination that kept me going 'coz shifting from an english medium school to a hindi medium school would have been very tough if not impossible.Such situations kept popping up every now & then ...and may be that were the reasons I always told myself that I can't fail...at least in academics.My life from std VI to Std XII was like a dream.There were problems at home and there was popularity at school.And all the while he was there to help me keep my feet on the ground and not to get carried away by the fame and again whenever the problems of home used to upset me...he was there to pacify my restless mind.

Papa,I love you ... I know I never say this...Neither do you but I know you love me the most among all.With you I feel I am protected.You are the reason for my success,my creativity quotient.I never expect you to be mistake-less but you seldom make any and especially when it comes at the life of your children.I accept there have been times when I was very upset with you,internally,and never expressed them but thats okay 'coz I know I have upset you at lot many other occasions and you didn't say anything either.There are thousands reasons why I respect you but to mention a few: its your mild and sober nature,the way you respect your elders and create an example for us,the way you say that whatever you are doing for us are the part of your duty as a father and you do not expect us to return anything.I love your keenness to learn(earlier it was Palmistry and now its Homoeopathy ).

Above all,I love you Papa.

Now its the turn of my Mom.Her name is Mrs.Pratima Devi Thebaria and she is a housewife.She is not very sharp,neither very educated but she knows to love her kids,her family.Papa says,this is only she knows.But she also know how to cut costs and manage the household even with the meagre income.She will not buy a saree for herself for months yet she will have money for us to buy clothes on every occasion and this thing we realized very late.She is everything a mother is like...the mother we have read in out textbooks and heard from people.She doesnot know how to make 'chats' interesting and all that she talks is generally household.She is my emotional quotient and probably the reason why I cry while watching (senti)movies!!!She can feel others pain and always wants to do something to ease it.She sounds impractical!!!She is no doubt but world will be a better place to live in with such people.Earlier she was bad tempered and we used to get 'broom'/Log thrashing on not studying properly or for doing any mischief....but after the impulse is washed off I have seen her crying by my bed gently roving her hand over me.That was probably the effect of the time we were facing!She is now more milder and sweet.Everytime I go back home,her biggest worries are which clothes have I brought which she can wash...and what(snacks) will I like to take with me when I return.Although I generally am very negligent about food and hardly eat whatever she sends me..I never stop her from diong that 'coz I know this is how she expresses her love to her child who has been so far away from her for most of his life till now.She likes being vexed by Vaibhav and me.Everytime she does anything for me ,he would tell her that she favours me and the next time she does anything for him..then thats my turn.She loves both of us a lot.And there is Nidhi.She loves her a lot too.
I love you mummy for teaching me how to be contended with what ever you have and not to complaint much.I love you for your pure heart which cannot harm anyone.I love you for loving Papa so much that I respect marriages because of you two.

I love you mummy.


Now this is a promise,when you both turn 50 together,we all be together and we will make the day worth remembrance for ever.


Love you both....
