AskBen: Was everything worth it?

At 6 feet and 3 inches and weighing about 95 kgs, I've been known for putting the fear of a Lion to speak, into people when I try. And here I am today, paralyzed with fear by someone who weighs less than 10 kgs

This is something I have been trying to share with all you readers for a long time. Just like almost every man, it took me close to two years to pen down these thoughts about my life. YES, I am now a proud Dad from the past 22 months.

Immediately after Sai Sharan (my son's name) was born, I realized that life is never going to be the same again. And you would be surprised to hear this, that's absolutely fine with me.

Previously it was always cribbing, misunderstanding and a lot of unwanted miscommunications in between us at home. I unlearned most of my favorite things like Coffee, tea and learnt to watch cartoons. Work harder to give my son a happier life.

You know little one, you’re making me feel things I never thought were possible to feel. After all, I’ve loved before, twice maybe thrice in my life. But never like this. This strong. This absolutely.

If anyone asks me if it’s been all worth it. Worth it? Kutty boy, you’re worth a million of me!

As long as you were in your lovely mummy’s tummy, you were her responsibility. Now that you’re here, I’ll do whatever I have to; to make sure you’re safe and happy.

Till you came into my life, I could not stand being told what to do, unless it’s you that is concerned. Never realized changing a diaper was that exhausting.

It took me a while but finally I figured out how to get you to smile for me. And that smile just swept me off my feet and I somehow never managed to plant my feet on the ground till date. Some of my friends can vouch for this statement.
