Of daddies and awkward expression of emotions
Daddy, papa, abba, abbu, pops, pa, daata, sometimes even Chachaji - the many names of fathers given by their loving (sometimes fearing) children. Betu, Gudiya, Sona, Pari or Aanchu (in our case) - the names that daddies give to their little princesses. While the father-son bond is quite easy and natural, the father-daughter bond is quite unique. Yes! That’s how it can be best expressed - unique. And though much is said and written about this bond, am penning a few thoughts here as I see it through my eyes. With a son, the dad knows just where the line is to be drawn as dad too was once a young lad (ok ok, my apologies - they always remain young-at-heart lads!!) but with daughters our beloved daddies are kinda lost. They want the lil girl to be all tough and strong but then are afraid of letting her free to explore the world around. They want to be around their babies all the time. Will share a few instances of this awkwardness with which these cutie pies deal with their daughters
