I’m not just fond of my father but extremely close to him. I have grown up idolising him and somewhere along the way he became the man I would like to be some day. 

From a family man to a professional, he has balanced everything so well. Today, we are friends and the respect I have for him keeps on growing. No matter what we do all through the day, by the day’s end we need to have some time together — be it via a text, a phone call or meeting in person. He always gives me a reality check.
