Anna- My friend, philosopher and guide

         My Dad celebrated his 78th birthday on the 5th of December, 2014.
         He has a zest for life, matched by very few among his generation. While the others are complaining about imaginary worries and troubles, he sails through life with a smile and infectious enthusiasm, even about the smallest things in life.
        He is an excellent palmist, painter, singer and a friend to so many people. He likes collecting CDs and knick-knacks. Thanks to him, I've also developed the hobby of collecting various things over the years, right from stamps, match-labels, coins, Ganapati statues, shells, costume jewelry, etc.
        He is forthright and honest, just like me. He has taught us to stick to our guns, come what may! He has always been there for us, like a pillar of support. He gets along nicely with all our friends, hence they admire and good-naturedly envy us, as they invariably compare their strict or reticent fathers to him! He is an excellent confidante. He keeps himself active, in spite of some ailments.
         We wish him a very long, healthy, wealthy, peaceful and contented life.
