Father whom no body understands?

 

Father  whom  no body  understands?

 

Translated by P.R.Ramachander

(as a father  I understood  it)

 

    Do not like  Father’s voice

    Do not like  Father’s adamant  nature

    Do  not like Father looking at me

     Do like   father’s advice

     Do not like   father’s  interference

 

Father is a bundle of  troublesome  things

 

     Father started ifting his responsibility of his family after  his marriage

     Father had to tell good bye to several of his likes  after marriage

 

    Among his life suffocated  by quarrels among his  wife  and his own close relations,

   Father had to stifle all his emotions  and suffer

   For the   sake of unity of his family, for peace   and  to carry on his  responsibilities  properly

            

   After  marriage, he had to struggle   to build their own house

   He had to educate  his children from LKG  onwards,

   Filled with great  expectations  and affectionate love

 

   Inspite  of that when he  became old and lost his health

   Father  becomes alone in his life, with even his wife on the other side

    He started  feeling he was  a nuisance   for his family

    Seeing the children only wanting his   wife not him

 

    No one understands   that poor man 

     Who has   sacrificed   all his desires and dreams

And had spent all his life    for sake of his   family

 

This is not the problem of just one man,

Take  a round and you will see millions like  him

 

People  will sing  about greatness  of mother, and forget about father

Sons will see  crying mother  but never notice   the crying father

 

All children know  how mother  carried  them ten months

And had to suffer great  pain  to give birth to them several times

 

But they will never know   how much extra work a father did  ,

To  buy  hundred of things   to keep them healthy

They will never know how   their father  sat in rain,

Outside the delivery hospital,and suffered all  sort of sufferings

 

No child ever things that  their father sacrificed for them,

They would never heard how   their father  worked 20 hours a day,

So  that  , he could happily give them   all that they want

 

They think about river called mother but forget  the ocean called father

 

Generally people think that fathers do not have affection

And it also   is not proper for  him to show it

 

Suppose   A father  tries to advice his children,
he will sit aghast

Before a mother   who tells him that it is not proper for him to advice

And this ofeten make s him lonely  and shut himself in a room

With his lap top  for his company

 

Once in a while see deep in to eyes of the father

You will see hope , pain and anguish there

 

The boy children will  un derstand him only  when they become a father

But by that  time , the time would have  become late, too late
