On this Father’s Day, I’m reminded that a father can turn into anything — a guide, a protector, and sometimes, a real-life superhero.
In the summer holidays of 2009, our family planned a trip to a temple in Kolhapur. I got to Nagar in the morning, ahead of everyone else to handle the bus reservation. After booking the tickets, I headed over to my cousin Swapnil’s place. Lunch, casual catch-ups, and then—because we had time to kill—Swapnil offered to show me his new movie collection. I picked Ghajini. The movie was amazing, but the ending? Totally incomplete in your mind. You keep wondering, 'What if Kalpana knew the truth about Sachin being Sanjay Singhania?' For hours afterward, my brain was still running mental replays.
Soon, my family arrived, and we boarded the night bus to Kolhapur. After a long night of travel, we finally reached in the morning, checked into the hotel, and went to the temple for a divine darshan.
