8 Indian Fathers Share Life Lessons We All Need to Heed #IndiaNEWS #Inspirational
From encouraging their children to follow their passion to being there when times are rough, dads do it all. But when’s the last time we looked back at them and said ‘thank you’?
This Father’s Day, let’s not forget to thank our dads for all the sage advice they have given us throughout the years.
And while you’re at it, here are some heartwarming stories of children who recount how their dads were an inspiration to them.
1. Strive to be inclusive, always:

“Back in the day, it was even more difficult for trans persons to find jobs. My father would always help them out with whatever he could. He kept telling me that if I could help them, I should,�? says Diego Miranda, on carrying his father’s dream and opening a cafe run by trans persons.
2. Follow your passion:

“My father told me I need not pursue IIT at the cost of everything else. He taught me not to sacrifice myself for what everyone was doing,�? says Nishant Jain, whose father made him drop out of IIT coaching. While he still prepared for his JEE exams, his father encouraged him to do so while playing sports, exploring his interests as a comic artist and reading literature. The point was not to give up on life only for studies.
3. Don’t let crises get you down:

“I was crying, ashamed, hurt and confused, all together when I saw the pictures. I looked at my mother and said, “This is not me�?. My father straight away hugged me and said, “Even if it is you, toh kya?�? says Shruti Chaturvedi whose father made her fearless by refusing to be blackmailed with morphed pictures.
4. ‘Daughters are equal to sons’:

“Since childhood, my father has told us that we are equal. He would always insist that we treat each other with respect,�? says Roshan, whose father went on to name his business ‘Gupta & Daughterp�&K��K��H��[�Y��'^HH��ۙ�H�[Y]�Y[�H�وو��[�H[��[��[�[��[��H�ۜ��X�]�[K�H�[Y[X��]H�]YH�ۈ�Y�ܙH^H��ؘ]H��[�^Z[�Y��H��ٙH��[�X[�[Y��܈�X��8��^��X��H؝Z�Hؘ]H��YY[��H�]��ܝY��X[K��Y[��[��H�Y[XZٜ��΂��'H�Y�Z[�[�YXH]��Y[��[�HX�H��[[��H��ۘ[[�X�X�]��[�Y��[��]�H�H�X��وZ�]��[�^�[Y[HYۛܘ[��^Hو��[��][��ˈH��X�Hو�[[��[��H�X��܈�]�[��ۙH��YHH��[H�[�ۈH[�]�YX[�H]H�Y�H܈Hؘ[�8��^�Z��H��H��[��H�^KX]Z�YH�]��ˈYX�][ۈ�[ܝ[��'��X]��]�]��]�HۈYX�][ۋ�
