An Eternal Bond : Father and child

Before a child is born , there is one man who has already planned its days ,its life and pretty much everything for him for his future. 

With his one gentle touch, the child begins to stoke its mothers womb and there exactly the beautiful bond is created .

 

There is no other role model exists for the child . His warm loud voice is the most scariest thing he learns to fear, his charming personality and love, a girl expects to find in her husband .  

All things from hard work to sacrifices , from water to sweat , pains to happiness are dedicated to his new little world. 

Growing up to a complete human being passing the journey from a Baby to kid , to child and finally an adult creating an unbreakable affinity . This is meant to be created  for the time to pass the same to  father ,when he needs the most.

 From the day in his laps, i was being kissed

why My Daddy  is so strict ..

                               

There were days  on his shoulders and back, I played and swirled

Because he is the only one, strongest in the world..

                  I am born a princess , who taught  to fly with my wings

as ultimately ,he is my king

Chitkul is a village in Kinnaur district of Himachal Pradesh .

Life happens to be extremely difficult due to cold weather most of the time in a year

While touring the village ,I was overwhelmed to see the father and son playing early morning near the famous Baspa river.

The little kid is born there and has learned to blend with the villagers and tourists , Moreover the population is very less and so the community is in a way a big family.

Even though unlike the cities ,the child may not receive the modern day city lights  , the father still works hard and ensures he gets almost everything and rather much more

The graceful smile reveals it all ...

Every year Maharashtra receives heavy rainfall ,few villages like Bhandardara located in western ghats are just paradisaical in this season

This father plans to cover a 2 to 3 hrs journey by foot and reach a  nearby village to spend days with his family until end of monsoon. 

The Kids happiness reveals how much merry to ride fathers shoulders ,through the entire trip.

While shooting waterfalls nearby ,I just couldn't have missed the moment of emotion.

One Day you will walk in my foot steps ..

Proudly saying .."Look at my grown up chap" --

Tawang, Arunachal pradesh -- During the journey we halted at a local food cafe , the Kid was actually so confident in giving us the directions as well a very polished behaviour

"You must be a so Proud Daddy!!" 

Introducing his child to a sea of opportunities in the world

This beach is close to fisherman's settlement  at Pondicherry.  

While strolling early morning ,the duo moment was worth capturing .

Makes sure no matter what .. Son must never miss a day at  school

Local village near Kaza (spiti valley) ,the weather happened to be stormy, along with extreme cold blizzard that day , it was quite impossible for us to get out of the car.

 

Suddenly a moment popped out before me !!!

The father carries his son , to make sure he reach school in time

Its about relishing the tough times together with joy ,instead of making his son learn, rather learning through life under right conditions.

I do not want my child to limit to my own learning, for he was born in another time ...
