Dad is Fun
Can you imagine learning cycling without dad?
It was dad who ran after me when I learnt to cycle…
It was dad who used to come running when I would have a great fall from the cycle…
It was dad who had bought the first bat for me, and it was dad who had thrown the first ball at me…
It was dad with whom I used to go to the zoo every Sunday…
It was dad who used to drop into school to give me my crayon box that I would have forgotten to take to school…
It was dad who had signed all my ‘red’report cards …
It was with dad that I used to enjoy watching India Vs Pakistan one- day cricket matches while having popcorn…
It was dad who taught me how to tie a necktie…
It was dad’s car, which I had banged for the first time and it was dad’s phone number I had given to a cop after banging the car…
Dad means- cycling, boating, horse riding, zoo, circus, ice- creams, giant wheels, campfire and holidays, cricket and pillow fights.
Dad means Fun.
It was from dad’s shoulder that I had viewed the world for the first time.

My dad taught me to cycle. It was fun to cycle in an open maidan but to cycle on the road? I was scared to even cross the crowded road. I was scared of vehicles and I would feel as if all the vehicles were going to ride over me. It was in the 11th std when Jaydeep’s dad bought a scooter for him and he started coming to school on his scooter. He found it very useful in following girls and he had great fun zooming on his scooter. But once while trying to impress some girl he fell down and fractured his leg and remained in bed for six weeks. After six weeks he returned to his scooter but I took a vow never to touch a two wheeler. I never learnt to ride a two wheeler. But, at the age of 19 I had a license to fly.
