Happy Birthday Dad! Or not so Happy…….

Mom: “It is okay Tanay, tomorrow is your dad’s birthday.

We will plan something for his birthday.

You know he loves you. He is just worried about you. That’s all.”

Me: “But Mom, Dad never celebrates his Birthday! Remember how he sent his friends and colleagues away when we planned for a surprise last year?

I do not know why he does not celebrate his birthday. All those people really felt bad. He could have at least thanked them for coming!

I am not sure if he would like it this time either and I am not going to go through another round of quarrel with him!”

Mom: “Let us not call anybody home tomorrow. We will bake a special cake for him before he comes home from work. Sounds Fun?

And I am sure this time he might not do something like that…”

Me: “Fine! As long as it changes his mood and gets me my keys back! Love you Mom. Thank you for being there.”

What difference can you make

Voruganti Pavan Tanay NagLeave a comment

A young man was walking in a beach. He saw a kid throwing something into the waters.

After seeing him for sometime the young man understood that the kid was trying to throw all the starfish which washed ashore because of the high tide.

The young man approached him and said, “what difference is it going to make? They’re all washed up and you’re only one?”

The kid bent dow took another starfish and threw it in the sea. He then turned towards the man and said there “I made a difference to that one”

I experienced the same in my life too. I made many friends and each one of them made a difference in my life. 
Every single drop of water is precious because a river starts with a drop and ends up as an ocean.

A small ripple in water caused by a drop of water has the power to create multiple ripples and change the course of water.

Every person no matter how small or big they are. They are unique and they have the power to make a difference.

Just because people don’t recognise you and appreciate your work doesn’t mean you stop doing what you are best at.

Dedicated to my special friend Sai Bhavana, who inspired me to write this.

To all my friends and to all the people. Never stop doing what you are doing. Because you make a difference.
