What One Quality Have Your Sons Taken Of Yours – That You Wish They Hadn’t?
As a person, I am someone who takes decisions at the moment at times, due to which sometimes things tend to go haywire. In a lot of ways, I see that characteristic reflecting in my sons, too. And as a father, I wish they’d take decisions which are well thought of and then executed.
What Have They Completely Taken After You On?
I hold my mother at a very high place in my life – and thankfully they do exactly that. Not only do they value their mother, but also mine. This is because they’re very emotional and that is a trait they’ve got from me.
What Special Things Do You And Your Sons Do Together?
We spend quite a lot of time with each other playing FIFA and also love watching comedy and horror movies together.
How Do You Rate Yourself As A Father?
Being a father is not an easy thing as it comes with a lot of responsibilities. But with the kind of rapport I share with my kids, I feel I am a decent father.
What Is The Most Difficult Part Of Being A Dad?
A father and child’s relationship is not as easy as it seems, mainly because of the age and generation gap. Hence to fill the void, there are a lot of times I have to keep myself in the shoes of my sons.
