Here's a toast
- To the one who recorded all the gibberish I spoke when I was 2 because he was proud of me
- To the one who religiously took me on those daily scooter rides, come what may, when I was 5
- To the one who painstakingly labeled all the awards I ever won, so that he could look at them proudly every time and relive the moments when I won those awards
- To the one who has carefully filed away all the sketches I ever drew, all the letters I ever wrote to family and all my report cards, so that he can look at them and go back in time
- To the one who patiently taught me complex math that I refused to comprehend till a very long time
- To the one who pampered me to the core but ensured that I was never spoilt
- To the one who broke down while dropping me off at a hostel and missed me every day of his life, during my college days
- To the one who believes that the picture of my convocation makes a living room wall piece, rather than being tucked away in an obscure album somewhere
- To the one who insists on coming to the airport/station to pick me up every single time I visit home, even though I am grown up now, just to make me feel real special
- To the one who has always been proud of my achievements, however miniscule they might appear to others
- To the best man I have ever known from the day I was born, till date
Happy Birthday, Dad! Here’s wishing that life gives you the best always because you surely deserve all the happiness in the world!

Really really liked this write-up about your dad. I guess we're very fortunate to have such nice dads.
Love,
