Parenting at age of 60 means child having 60 years of experience to learn from, 30 years of experience from each. On every mistake pop is the person who pinch your cheeks or ear on the other hand mom is the person who stand beside you to keep you away from mere starring of dad. A story will reveal how father justify his role in our life, however mom play equal role too.
A son completed his masters and started leaving abroad due to job duties. He found that the Indian food is not option anywhere around so he made sure to have his own setup to cook on his own.
However till now he never went into such trauma as he was with his parents till finished his higher education. He brought up necessary vegetables and spices from nearby super market. To get the job done with little guidance he called up to his mom,
"Hello mom, I need your help for cooking today."
Mom said, "Yeah, I can understand pain of leaving in foreign country, we have to be prepared to cook on our own Indian style food with spices. Indian prefer spicy food"
He replied, "Yeah agree, please tell me simple recipe to cook a real quick, I am so hungry today".
Mom explained a simple recipe and about to hang-up the phone, suddenly pop added, "Tell him to add salt else food will be tasteless." who was listening every conversation between mom and son.
A son was listening at other end and smiled on his pop's cleverness. Mom replied to his pop, "That is no need to tell him, Everyone knows that.". Still mom smiled and explained what step pop trying to add to recipe and bust into laugh and put down the receiver.
After all, son prepared food and added salt only after he realized that he forgot to add salt during dinner. So 'Baap....Baap Hota Hai' meaning 'Father is always great'. He is always around and put his thoughts to keep family on right track and direction. This is just an example on how pop make difference in our life.
The post is dedicated to all parents on the occasion of Parents Day.
