Wish dad was around.
Hope he is there in spirit.
My dad participated in the 1971 war.
I was a baby and missing dad. We were in mathura UP.
Mom used to say how I used to squeel when the lights were gone during blackouts . Dad used to tell war stories during lunch and dinner.
I never documented those stories.
He used to tell all horrible things like dead bodies lying as they took shelter to fire……
He wanted to contribute to such endeavours. But he is not more.
He was in signals. He loved his work to bits.
Missing dad.
