DADDY, The pain never goes away and every time the same question pops up, why you? Why us? The same thoughts rise in my mind, how nice it would have been if you were here for some more time.
When I was small, I didn’t realize everything you did for me, standing in the queue for the whole night just for an application form to get me into a good school, dropping me to all my examination centers, waiting outside while I gave my first interview, teaching me to drive my first bike. You really made me believe that a daughter is a princess for her father.
You were so special. You are loved and remembered by every one in the family because you touched each one of us with your caring, understanding and kind nature. I feel so proud when you are looked upon as a benchmark for good parenting.
Daddy, I promise you that I will bring up both my kids in a way that will make you proud wherever you are.
There are not enough words to describe what I feel at this moment and to say how important you are. If someone grants me a wish, I will only ask for some more time with you. Nothing else matters. There is a special place in my heart only for you.
The day when you gave me away and we cried, both of us did not realize there will come a day when we will part with each other for ever. All I have now are memories.
To the man who loved like no one else can, HAPPY FATHER’S DAY.
To who ever is reading this post, please don’t wait until it’s too late to tell your parents how much you love them.
I want to just believe that my dad is with me every moment and I pray that he can hear me wherever he is.
I LOVE YOU, DADDY!

Rajshri Deshpande, who played the fiery protagonist in Trial by Fire along with Abhay Deol speaks of her journey and her social work.
Rajshri Deshpande as the protagonist in ‘Trial by Fire’, the recent Netflix show has received raving reviews along with the show itself for its sensitive portrayal of the Uphaar Cinema Hall fire tragedy, 1997 and its aftermath.
The limited series is based on the book by the same name written by Neelam and Shekhar Krishnamoorthy, who lost both their children in the tragedy. We got an opportunity to interview Rajshri Deshpande who played Neelam Krishnamoorthy, the woman who has been relentlessly crusading in the court for holding the owners responsible for the sheer negligence.
Rajshri Deshpande is more than an actor. She is also a social warrior, the rare celebrity from the film industry who has also gone back to her roots to give to poverty struck farming villages in her native Marathwada, with her NGO Nabhangan Foundation. Of course a chance to speak with her one on one was a must!
“What is a woman’s job, Ramesh? Taking care of parents-in-law, husband, children, home and things at work—all at the same time? She isn’t God or a superhuman."
The arrays of workstations were occupied by people peering into their computer screens. The clicks of keyboard keys were punctuated by the occasional footsteps moving around to brainstorm or collaborate with colleagues in their cubicles. Most employees went about their tasks without looking at the person seated on either side of their workstation. Meenakshi was one of them.
The thirty-one-year-old marketing manager in a leading eCommerce company in India sat straight in her seat, her eyes on the screen, her fingers punching furiously into the keys. She was in a flow and wanted to finish the report while the thoughts and words were coming effortlessly into her mind.
Natu-Natu. The mellifluous ringtone interrupted her thoughts. She frowned at her mobile phone with half a mind to keep it ringing until she noticed the caller’s name on the screen, making her pick up the phone immediately.
