Every time I leave for Bangalore, my dad drops me at the bus stop in his auto."From nursery to my degree, my education was made possible because of his hard work. When many people around us were saving money for their daughters' weddings, my father chose to invest in our education instead. But the greatest thing he gave me wasn't education, it was independence."I have a sister, and he never raised either of us to believe there was anything we couldn't do because we were daughters. He trusted us to travel alone, make our own decisions and face life with confidence."The daughter shared that both she and her sister are now doing well in their careers. During the Covid pandemic, they started a farm as a way of giving back to their parents. Since then, their father has been looking after it with the same dedication he has always shown.A father's quiet supportShe also spoke about becoming a mother and the difficult decision of whether to continue working.
