For a babygirl her father means the world.. she might get as fearless but absolutely loves how tender she is around her father. Her father may win the world fearlessly but would just lose it all to see his sweet child smile..

Just finished watching this movie called 'Like Father' and fo the vulnerable human that I am.. I cried..

It is about how being alone & being in denial impacts you and makes you realise why you take decisions that won't make any sense years from now..

I often wonder how beautifully my relationship with my dad would have been if he was still around..

This movie is about a 30year old workaholic woman whose father left when she was 5.. She lost her mother while she was at work..

I could relate to this on so many levels..

I have been a person who wanted to have a stand in the society right after I started working early.. I wanted to achieve so much that I always kept myself occupied to never feel that anything in life was a luxury or a a privilege..

We make so much effort to make the most to attain each material only to forget to Live today..

She was disappointed that he left, her fiance left her at the altar..

I have been heartbroken before but always too proud to accept it or even cry over it..

Never letting emotions win.. when you shove practicality in everything.. you lose the meaning of life..

I have been exactly like him and now I know he would have gotten better only to show me that I need to be better than that.. Circle of life they say..

I imagined how I would have re connected with my father after so many years of staying apart, so many years of doing things that hurt each other not to apologize alone but to hug and co exist..

I have realised the value of life with each passing day now.. I remember I didn't attend his death anniversary because I didn't want to acknowledge that he is no more, I let my mom suffer alone..

We as kids often feel our pain is always more than our parents..

Never giving them enough bandwidth to shed a tear or speak their heart out..

In the parallel universe, I watch this movie with him.. hug him, revisit good old days and we both walk past all the memories that could have been better..

'We are both proud of each other'
