My Star, My Idol

My Star...My Idol

Many colors of a man whom I dearly call, Appa…

Courage and guts to face anything in this world

- Fearless and bold yet not arrogant

Selfless...always willing to serve and go the extra mile

- A life of sacrifice yet never miss an opportunity to enjoy life to the fullest

Always positive and enjoys every moment of life

- Brings LIFE to existence yet doesn’t miss a chance to nap

Disciplined and perfection in everything he does

- Who says you cant be perfect in what you do

Social and ever gregarious

- Brings out smile and laughter in you and ever surrounded by people…

Genuine love with no barriers or inhibitions

- Unconditional, without any bounds and most importantly genuine

Devoted Patriot yet appreciates cultural and global diversity

- Poster Indian citizen with a true appreciation for the deserving beyond borders

Master story teller - some real, some imaginative & not many can tell the difference

- Been the Spielberg and Maniratnam to many

Captivating orator

- Makes an empty hall applaud

Un-daunting faith and a personal relationship with god

- Surrenders to none but to almighty

Boundless energy and time for children

- Makes a 5 year old on sugar, look dull compared to him

Fearless and Spontaneous to fight injustice

- A round the clock cop, our own Singham in many ways

Truly impacted and touched the lives of many people around him

- A 70 year old Ambulance always available for anyone

Takes any challenge immediately even beyond his perceivable physical capabilities

- Confronted and brought down many a miscreants & pick-pockets singlehandedly

Full of energy with a never say die attitude

- Going after the impossible, achieving it and enthusiasm to share the spoils

Gives 200% to every role and excels in them - a friend, dad, grand dad, son, husband, father-in-law, brother, son-in-law, student, teacher, messenger, negotiator, guru, disciple
- A life as well-rounded as this, very few can claim to have lived

Hard to find someone with so many qualities of greatness

- Appa, you are second to none

A fine human being, who I know more than anyone else

- People who think they know this man more than I do – You know little...very little

You have taught me more than 

any institution can ever teach, 

any experience can ever provide, 

any book can ever be written, 

any lecture can ever be rendered….

Your life will always be an inspiration to me, to the many generations after me.

A Very Happy Birthday !!!
