You were the man who could always make me laugh. Always - The most intelligent, smartest and without doubt, the wittiest man in the room. Sometimes your sense of humour could border on being politically unfiltered but it never failed the ideological test. It was always a challenge to be an ardent fan and yet like all children fight to be different from you. And you always gave me that space with a smile. You always cared the way only a father can care for a daughter and admired my guts and at the same time hated it. You always complained that I was too strong but did you know that it was because of you also. I miss the laughter the warmth the care the father the leader the friend the guide and the ideologue. Thank you for the lessons and the memories.
