My Parents !!

We don't pay attention to some of the things we pick from our parents while growing up and I just realized today how much I have learned from them. Being a cop, my dad portrayed the image of that Bollywood actor who goes on saying 'Mard ko kabhi dard nahi hota' but in his own ways my dad taught me about integrity, the value of family/ friends and how important it was to earn enough money to support me and my family. My mom taught me to respect women and that it was okay to feel deeply or to care for your closed ones. I think in a conquest to become adults, we start hiding in our own shell. If we allow ourselves to feel what we are feeling and say what we want to say, we'd end up feeling much better and happier which is something this world could definitely use a little more of.
