Happy Father's Day (2026)

One thing I have always cared about is my family. They gave me a better life. They never let me stay in a lower-class life. They always fulfilled every wish I had.

I still remember when I was in standard one. I asked for a computer. And he brought it for me. I still remember the price, NPR 49,000. Even though they didn't know much about education, he sent me to study in Kathmandu.

I still remember the day he came to leave me in Kathmandu for the first time. I kept telling him I didn't want to live there. He gave me the example of Lord Ram, how he stayed 10 years in exile. Once, I scored first in class. I ran away in the middle of the result just to tell him. "I did it, I came first."

Not going home. Staying away for a year. That doesn't define love. I really love my family. That is why I am on this path, to make the dream come true. He gave me permission to run. So I am running.

Words never define love.

I never want to be a burden on anyone.

There is a saying"When a father doesn't hold his child's finger, the child doesn't learn to walk. And when the father doesn't let go of the finger, the child never learns to run."

My father is like that. He never asks me anything. Where I stayed the whole night. What I was doing. He lets go of my hand so I can run. That also means he trusts me. And love, for me, is keeping that trust alive till the end.

He never forces me for anything. He never says "do this" or "do that." Sometimes, I actually feel like, I wish he would tell me something. Scold me. Force me to do something. But he never does.

When I completed my bachelor's, I started first job in Sakhuwa Engineering Consultancy Pvt. Ltd (Dad's friend company). I worked there for about six months, maybe. I started even before my results came out. Then COVID came. After some time, there was a dispute between my father's friend and me. Even then, my father was on my side. Actually, I was not wrong.

His son loves them a lot. But he wants to stand on his own feet. He knows he should never do work that makes him disrespect others or bow down.

Happy Father's Day.
