May my father live in milk and rice

Baba means contented smile, dormant love,
Baba means with gentle eyes, the term of success.

When I realized the greatness of the word father, I saw a man who crossed the mountain of suffering. The purpose of which is only one, the search for family happiness. He who attains immortality by joining the stream for the sake of the child, only his song of victory is echoed from afar. He is an ideal father.

Fortunately, I am the son of an ideal father. Even if I can't read my father's mind, the expression of my mind repeatedly tells me that people are better off being simple. But accessibility is not desirable. My father is a generally simple person.

When I was tired of trying to prove myself in every moment of my life, Baba was the backbone of my path by inspiring me. My father is a teacher by profession. Built by hundreds of people. My father is the first and best teacher of my life. My maths is in his hands. All the achievements in life have been possible only for my father. My father is not only an ideal father but also an ideal child. Respect, respect, responsibility, duty towards parents is learned from father.

Let me tell you a story. When I was a university entrance exam, my grandfather was bedridden. In this situation, I did not want to take the admission test of Chittagong University. Then my father decided to take me for examination. He stayed with me in Chittagong for 14 days and took me to Rajshahi for Rajshahi University admission test until all the tests and practical tests were over. Every moment of that time I see my father scrambling for my grandfather. Even from such a distance, Baba did not hide his eyes from Dadu even for a moment. Again, he did not deviate from his father's duties. The sad thing is that my father and I visited Chittagong, Rajshahi a few days after returning home, grandfather passed away. However, I never saw Baba making any mistake in his service to Grandpa.

Meanwhile, the result of the admission test came. There I secured 8th rank in Chittagong University and 143rd rank in Rajshahi University. Actually this achievement is not mine, this achievement is my father's sacrifice.

Father is very angry. So I could not say fluently, how much I love my father. I just want to tell you that I love you so much. What happened to your parents? My brother and I will never let you become an orphan. We are your parents.

As Ishwari Patuni of Annadamangal Kavya asked Annapurnadevi as her bridegroom – 'May my child live in milk and rice.' That's how I pray to God that – 'My father is like a son to me. May my father also live in milk and rice.'
