Father's Day!
Today is Father's Day! Am sitting in that part of the world, where Mother's Day or Father's Day was not in practice! But today here also everybody recognizes and celebrates, and I guess, it's cause of Facebook, mainly, that everybody get to know what's happening in the rest of the world! And since it's sort of nice tradition I feel no harm in following it!?
Last evening I happened to be in a coffee shop, ...since I was waiting for someone so I had a chance to look around and observe....! I love to observe people, and everything and I love to analyze or understand everything going around...! So as I was waiting with my brother, I saw couples coming to that coffee shop, of all ages, there was loud music, and on TV, they were showing how to reduce tummy fat, with some weird(I felt it that way) gadget. They have the most comfortable seats and you can sit there for any length of time, coffee, pastries,sandwiches are served to your table!
Next to my table, there was a very young couple, well not sure a couple or I can say a young girl, may be in early 20's and a guy, who might be in late twenties or early thirties, eating sandwich and sipping coffee! I started to look at the girl, rather stare......and she also saw me looking at her, and I tried to escape eye to eye contact with the girl, but she did caught me staring at her. She was a sweet looking girl, and the guy was not good looking!! Or may be I felt it that way! Lol as I am mother of two daughters, I felt myself, that I am judging here! Lol or that mother instinct made me feel bit protective about the girl!! They sounded happy, laughing, and only girl was eating and drinking coffee, but the guy was just looking at her and talking...! And after few mins they left...while walking past by, the girl looked at me...I also,looked at her, just came up with a "dialogue" in my head, suppose if she says or asks me why are you staring at me, "don't worry, it was just a mommy look, nothing to worry about"! And I myself had a smile on my face, and saw that girl was more puzzled looking at me, just walked fast....! Unfortunately or fortunately(for him) the guy did not look at me, and am sure, I would have a different look on my face!
After that I felt, when and how I did transform as a protective parent!? And I remember how my Dad used to feel, when I was a teenager.....he felt his daughter was very beautiful girl and the guys in the rest of the world are manipulative, who can with their sweet talk, take advantage of his beautiful innocent daughter and later on break her heart!! So he was very protective and I never felt he was over protective, but felt he was very caring!
And, of course coffee was awesome and am sure Appa would have loved it!
So yesterday I understood more, how he felt and why he felt that way! And also felt how different am I, today.....it was just some strange boy and girl, in some random place...for that I felt so many things....!!
Remembering Appa today.......a tribute to an amazing, wonderful, Appa! Love him, miss him.....!
