Vivaan is 5 today

My kid turns 5 today. The day he has been waiting for and talking about almost for one year is finally here. I don’t know anyone else who can be as excited for a birthday. I am thankful the day is here. Once, I tried to educate him that this day is like just another day. But I quickly caught the cynic in me and pushed it back. Let the kid have his birthday!

Vivaan is 5 means I am 5, as a father. It has been a strange but rewarding experience. Nothing has demanded so much from me, but nothing has given so much back either. No experience compares to this.

Not that anyone asked, but the only insight I want to share with you, if you want to be a dad, is this: It is very difficult to plan and decide what kind of father you will be. You will be the same type of father as you are a man. So try to be a good man.

Our 1st father's day together

Just because I am too tiny to talk doesn't mean I can't write you a letter either. I have a lady here whom I am gonna call Aai, who understands all my emotions, hunger, pain, and joys. If she can understand my hunger, my pain, and everything which no one can, then definitely she ...

“Real” Mother

On last Thursday I was dropping Vivaan at his daycare. Since Mother’s day was coming on Sunday they had a prop to take photo with your kid. I saw some of the mums taking photos and quickly proceeded to drop Vivaan. Thought that came to my mind was I am not a “real” mother so I do...

Parenthood

Parenthood is taking us to a new level of maturity, strength, and perspective on life. Your priority becomes your child, and everything else shifts to accommodate this incredible journey.

Holiday

It’s been a fulfilling couple of weeks as a father. Every jump and every cry, every leap I was there to catch. Every day was a milestone and every day a new something. Every stolen word you knew where it came from because you were there all along. Every tantrum you could decode w...
