Kavi I agree. My father...<b>gigihawaii </b> Thank you !<br /><br /><b> Kavi </b> I agree. My father even had a habit of patting the young doctors on their backs etc when he was very pleased with them. They would call him Appa (like we did). The best part was he always pretended to agree with the doctor, and later on would argue about the same thing with me, and do exactly what he wanted.:-)Ugich Konitarihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15901335427613806798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25171037.post-89450317628302508452011-08-11T21:41:39.712+05:302011-08-11T21:41:39.712+05:30People of that generation were made differently.

It is easy to write about this now, but at that time I was at my wits end on whether to agree to what my father wanted to do , or wait for the doctor. <br /><br /><b>Bikram </b> Thank you.Ugich Konitarihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15901335427613806798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25171037.post-51565863046467618572011-08-10T16:08:10.930+05:302011-08-10T16:08:10.930+05:30I am not sure i shud say Wow or what .. you have t...I am not sure i shud say Wow or what .. you have told a story in such a way .. <br /><br />I liked the last two lines ..

Much like shaking your head to remove water drops after coming in from some rain.' This is so logical! Great man and great daughter combo!<br /><br />I felt I was watching a movie...the narration made me feel like that!<br /><br />My father was 'appa' for the whole hospital staff. Thanks for reminding me of my father. He was in the hospital for rectum cancer.Sandhyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06478831923010850316noreply@blogger.com
