So the all important interview is up in three days. But, without having anything to do with the interview, it is a profoundly emotional time for me right now.
My father retired from service yesterday. Three decades of judicial service. Born in very humble surroundings, he is a self made man, who worked all his way up from scratch. Thankfully by then school education was allowed for all children, a privilege his own dad did not have! He studied in a government school, learned his lessons at home without the benefit of an electric lamp, ran a tutorial college for funding his own college studies, became a lawyer, started with Rs.10 as his fees, and rose upto the Highest Court in the State, a Constitutional authority, all by himself - without any so called god fathers anywhere in the field.
Delivering his farewell speech yesterday, taking this trip down his memory lane, he was overcome by emotion, so was I.
You are my true hero, Dad. Always. Forever.
