So like my dad :D

I was talking to my mama( a very distant relation of ours iam not even sure how he is related but for convenience sake i call him mama..makes him happy and i dont have to rack my brain to figure out how he is related...:D) yesterday to wish him on diwali and his mom has come to visit him and since me being a very nice girl wanted to talk to patti ( grandma) and i talked to her for about 15 mins and after which she exclaimed that u are so like jambu( my dad)..at that moment i dont know for some reason i felt so happy that someone thought i was like my dad..:)
My dad has always been a source of inspiration for me since i was a kid ..i know we all must have had " my dad is the greatest in the world " feeling when we were kids..but i still feel like that even now...he is a very hard working, diligent and pretty smart in wat he did....there were times when i was growing up i will ask him something and if he knew wat it was he will always explain it to me in a way i understand and if he did not know that he told me he will look it up and he always found an answer for me ...i remember the time when he woke me up at 3 in the morning to show me jupiter that was visible in the night sky i must have been about 10 years at that time ...... as i was standing in our back yard that october morning as dad went on talking about jupiter and how it is the biggest planet in the solar system and all its moons ...i felt so lucky to have him in my life..that feeling is so fresh in my mind..it was a very magical moment for me..after that we both had a glass of bournvita and we were talking about stars and space crafts and aliens...it was so perfect..
He was the one who taught me how to play badmiton and in summers always used to play a game with me in the evenings..at night we used to go for walks after dinner (i think we used to do that since i was about 10 years to till the last night i was in india) and he will talk to me about his youth ..ya tell me about things that happened that day at his work and i will talk to him about my things..sometimes we talk about religion, philisophy,politics..but i loved talking to him about science..as i grew up and went to college our discussions were sometimes my monologue on research and experiments and he used to tell me iam talking about stuff that he cant understand but still i will keep rambling on and on becos it felt good....i still do that whenever i call india...
He is not without faults..but he has been a good dad and a greats friend to me..so when someone told me that i was like him ..i felt like i have the noble prize bestowed to me :)
cheers
