WHY MY FATHER IS A ROLE MODEL FOR ME

My earliest memories of my father were that of a busy leader, with streams of supporters and voters from his Constituency. When I look back at my past I wonder how simple he was at his heart, to shed all the hang-ups of power and just enjoy being a simple family man. On one occasion, when he was out of power and not been nominated as a Governor yet, he had personally drove a car to receive me and my family at the bus station in Hyderabad. In spite of his political career, he always had enough time for family members. Being a man of many talents, he enjoyed writing letters to his family members to counsel a member in distress, or to motivate a grand child to aspire for higher education. That is why father is a Role Model for me.

I found him to be very pleasant and always willing to help others, with out any selfish motive; a great human trait indeed. In all his interactions with people, he has been very affectionate, informal and made others feel quite at ease. This is again a great quality coming from a celebrity of his stature who has occupied the highest assignment of Governorship.

He was a man of choice and determination with comfortably rich economic background, educational qualifications, academic abilities, and oratorical talents and his intense love and loyalty for national integration.

As a young man, he participated in all the activities and still studied well, exhibited excellent leadership qualities in every field he touched, worked hard throughout his life for the betterment of his little town, climbed the steps of politics without getting tempted by the money or power, reached the peaks of politics as well as finding time to encourage the development of arts and organizing cultural programs to promote national integration through music and dance. His achievements in various fields of education, sports, cinema, theatre and social work when mixed with many other basic qualities give out the best results.

This man despite being of highest caliber, is loving and caring towards his wife, parents, children, grand children and great grand children and finds time to enjoy with them, crack jokes across the dining table, leaving every member of the family with smiles. He filled joy in everyone in the limited time he had in a day and made everyone feel that he/she has a special space in his heart. Now with all the qualities mentioned till now even God has to feel proud of his creation of “THE COMPLETE MAN”.

Now this man being my FATHER and I being his daughter I feel not only happy but also proud. Knowing indeed very well that he is a rare creation, I do not feel the pressure of emulating him but instead love to watch out for his footsteps and follow them as far as I can. His life is a model of intense creative activity for public causes and should be a model for all young persons aspiring to assume leadership.

THAT IS WHY MY FATHER IS A ROLE MODEL FOR ME.

Happy fathers Day !!!
