As you celebrate another milestone, I proudly affirm that you embody the wisdom, “Be kind, and you will never regret it.” Your kindness and achievements fill us with immense pride. Just days ago, as we marked our 34th wedding anniversary, I reflected on how much joy you have brought to our lives. Even to Vishnu. from the moment he arrived, you became his guiding light, just as you have been for us.
Your philosophy of spreading laughter without harming others speaks volumes of your character. I cherish when, after spending time with underprivileged children, you said, “The world has been far kinder to me than I have been to it.” Such wisdom, my darling!
That summer morning 32 years ago, when I first held you, my life changed forever. At 8:36 AM on April 3rd, our world transformed. The moment our eyes met, I knew our bond was eternal. You were the angel who gave my life new purpose, deepening my love for Aparna. With your humor (which, of course, comes from me!) and a heart full of love (thanks to Amma), you are a perfect blend of all things wonderful.
The embrace we first shared has only grown stronger with time. Your dedication to helping the underprivileged inspires us all. You truly are a Seva Warrior.
A great moment of immense pride was when you became a mother to Anay. Though I had heard of the joy of becoming a grandparent, nothing prepared me for the life-changing moment of holding Anay for the first time.
You are strong, compassionate, and independent, and I am endlessly proud to call you mine. If you ever doubt how beautiful the world is with you in it, just look through my eyes. My only wish for you is that this year brings even greater joy and fulfillment.
Have a wonderful birthday and an incredible year ahead, my darling! And Yes! The biggest gift for any parent, is to have daughter around you and living close to you. I am an extremely fortunate and lucky father to have you as a daughter. If I God were to appear before me and grant me a wish to rewind and let me chart a different course, I would ask Him to bless me the exact journey I had so far with you. Thank you for BEING YOU.
With all my love, A Proud Father
