Happy Birthday To you..
Happy Birthday To you..
Happy Birthday Dear Appa!
Yup ,today is my Dad's birthday . March 7th . 7 is his lucky number . He is Lt. Colonel in the Army even in the house ;-) . I call him Appa ,Pa ,Papa .I am the only elder daughter of my dad . He calls me Vidya ,Beta (Son) ,Beti ( Daughter) .Sometimes Vidya prefixed with Beta (Vidya Beta). Another one is a younger daughter (Sindhu Beta ).
He loves cricket although he is very good at Basket Ball. His Jersey number was 7.
He is known for his 3 pointer shots from outside the semicircle . He used to get SportsStar magazine (which is now replaced by Business Today/Economic times) . I remember all the cut outs from the SportsStar magazine he used to have ,i am sure they must be still there. He used to play Tennis also. Actually he loves all sports and cricket comes on top of his list . And the day India loses a match someone in the house is bound to get scolded ! Usually Mom is the victim. When he watches India playing he is so tensed up that he will keep fiddling with the remote ,its fun watching him do that. He was born and brought up in Salem, Tamil Nadu .His name 'Ramakanthan' quite resembles a Tamilian name(His full name is Sodankur Thimmanabhat Ramakanthan ,i inherit the Sodankur and Ramakanthan + Srividya to make my full name as Sodankur Ramakanthan Srividya ) :o) . Many people remember me because of my long name. He can Read, Write and Speak Tamil very well .Its because of him that i started watching Tamil movies and can manage talking in Tamil or as they say i can kill Tamil ( no offense please ). He speaks Kannada not so fluent but okay okay (chalega kind ) . At home we all speak Hindi most of the time since we were in North India . Only when Dad has to speak something personal he speaks in Kannada ,anything official then it is English , and if you don't understand it once that's about it , you have had it from him!!
His sense of humor is great ,whenever me and my sister crack a joke he doesn't understand it but he laughs and both of us know that he didn't understand it so we also laugh !!!! But some of the very silly jokes ,he laughs out very loud !!! He has a very good hand writing (no ,i didnt inherit that from him !!Saaadly. But my handwriting not so bad also !). He remembers all the birthdays and anniversaries in our family and makes sure to wish them. I did get this habit from him but off late i purposely forget some birthdays ;-) !!! His General knowledge is also very good . He reads newspaper daily without fail and ofcourse the Share market . Now a days he is busy with mom in the kitchen garden, watering the plants .
