Dear Papa
I must confess since the last fifteen days my brain was hayware
I started comparing moon to stars
I, a fool, compared the parentage you provide to Prof.Amit Biswas
I, a supreme absurd, inferred you are not a brilliant Dad like him
He proudly narrated his daughter tells him everything
He said he remains cool in talking to her boyfriend
He stated he talks to his daughter daily
I heard him with envy and compared that to you and lamented
"My Dad is too shy to talk to me at times
I cant tell him my problems as he gets tensed
He takes decisions based on eighteenth century approach"
I was a super psycho in stating so
I was comparing the brightness of a sun to firefly
When I was with him, a friend called and I said
"I am with my Papa"
How could I confer this word 'Papa' which hold immense meaning in my life on anybody!!
The word 'Papa' by being you as my father has obtained its meanings in you
None other being than you in universe and beyond can carry the huge implications of the word 'Papa' when uttered by me
The implications are based on the character that I have seen in you
My Papa is the Neelkanth of this world
He drinks poison provided to him by everyday and everyone
He never compalins against anyone
There was a blue poison that came out of the sea after 'Sagar Manthan'
Lord Shiva drank it for the well being of everyone and became Neelkanth
Hatred, enmity, jealousy, backbiting are the poisons of this century
When they come to my Dad, he drinks them all
He ensures that the cyclic chain of vices end after coming to him
He converts the poisonous vices into virtues
That is why he is Suneel
The character Neelkanth has, my Papa has the same
My Papa never lies, cheats, steals, hates, envies, revenges anyone
He is someone who loves everyone as his own son and daughter
I am the daughter to whom who is the fatehr to all
Even to my mother Papa you have been like a father
Forgiving her, teaching her, enduring with her
Papa, the world may not but I adore the renunciation you did
Everyone whom I know has got forgiveness unsought from you
Your understanding of human behavior is far more than him
You may not have resources to purchase a 10 lacs car like him
But everyday you live a kingly life worth more than 10 lacs of him
Papa, the way you say purchase the best, dont bother the price
I see a true enterpreneur in you
The world may call you failure in business
But my management classes start from you
My creativity is nothing but a part of the tales which you weave everyday on the loom of love
Papa I beg your pardon for comparing you to him
No one can stand with head held high before you
None is as pure as you
Even being this much righteous when the God gives you disease
You thankfully accept it
The Lord Indra in the heaven who had sent disease to test you for the fear that you may not take his place was shaken
He too blessed you
The entire world stand stands as a 'cheat' before you
Prof. Amit Biswas would be one amongst those millions in queque
All those who have irked you, pinched you, would go to hell
And there they all would be gardening in a lawn for underestimating you, mocking you
Papa I want them all to come to you adoring you
I want to succeed in this materialistic world.

Author notes
This has been written for my loving Papa admist some tears. I compared him to Prof.Amit Biswas who is my good friend for 10 days and felt a kind of inferior. Then I realised how fool have I been to underestimate my diamond by looking at the glass of someone. Blood relations are stronger. I love my Papa. He is great.
Please tell me what you think

thank you
shivani.. i really thank you from my heart for asking me to read this poem.. I would like to comment though my words would not do justice to tis poem. All i can say is I have never seen your dad, but after reading this poem i can form a mental imagery of him. He really looks cute in that. And the whole credit for his looking beautiful goes to you shivani... i could feel your heartfelt love for your dad. i know you hate negative criticisms bout your poem.. but i cant help saying this .. the language you have used at times was not worthy of using in a poem. Words like "super psycho" they kind of dent your poems.. But it was a very beautiful piece of work yaar.. i really thank you for carving out such a wonderful statue of your father and letting others relish its beauty..
