Last year, on the 26th Of November, My Dad walked into the Trident after hearing of some 'random bomb blast' in the Lobby. We didnt know what was happening as the media had reported stories ranging from Shiv Sena to local gangs to what not. We werent strangers to Hostile situations. 26/11 was certainly the worst, but not the first time My dads put his life on the line in the Call of Duty.
Little did we know what he was getting into.
You Heard my story - Now Hear His. My Dad, My hero.

Honestly speaking I had always wanted to know his side & seriously I have no words to describe to really tell what am feeling right now!!!
the way ur dad had selflessly put everyone first is admirable!!! I won't say anything more because anything I say is inadequate!
Kudos to your dad. :) The video gathered mis in my eyes.

Thanks Smita, I remember your comments were a great encouragement during that time. There were times that you just told me to move on and deal with things... thank u.
@the tiny window.. thanks!
A true hero. I remember that was around the time I first started reading your blog and haven't been able to stop since. I distinctly remember your pride in and love for him that shone through your posts in those days. It's great to see the man behind the story.

Am so touched by this comment..
wow! I am speechless.
hey thanks for sharing this.
I was gearing up for a tough prestation later in the day. I jokingly referred to working on it last evening as 'saving the world'
Saw the link and the video. Amazing. Couldn't help smiling when he referred to your SMS. Hats off to your dad
And, you are on TV :)
Would love to share the post on F B if you are fine with it
And just continue the thread, its folk like your dad who help us have a reality check on life.
Unlike him very few of us are actually 'saving the world'
Hi Knife!thank u...

Hi Utopia, thanke :)
Hi, Your Father is a true human being , a great one at that only few have graced this earth who could put duty first and family later. You are blessed to have a father like that, but your ordeal was really a tough one. The nation is proud of your family. Take care. Rekha
thanks Rekha for your kind words
hey Serendipity, couldn't spot the link on your profile. I'd really like to share it. Please see if you can mail me the link or I'll look it up on the CNN IBN site
I was wondering the other day why we bother to teach kids values like integrity, courage and selflessness because in the real world you have to unlearn them. Your dad's (and your) story demonstrated to me that some people actually do live by their values.
S, I need to meet your dad someday.
