Chef Vikas Khanna’s ‘Heart-breaking’ post about his late dad teaches us a hard lesson!

While we’re busy making a living, we’re gradually forgetting about making a life. We’re so occupied within ourselves that we often overlook the fact that the clock is ticking. And with each passing moment, our parents are growing

On Jan 31, 2015, as a morning ritual, I called home and to speak to my Mom and Dad. Dad was super excited for 2 reasons, Serena Williams was playing Finals for Australian Open and Mercedes had signed me up for their association. He told me that it was his dream to drive his son’s Merc. I laughingly said that why didn’t you tell me before, he joked and said: “you had never asked.” We laughed as usual and disconnected.

At noon on the same day, he passed away. No child can ever be ready for this loss; it leaves a hole in your heart. Makes you feel empty, betrayed by Gods and unprotected to the World.

I still wonder about the line he said: “you had never asked.”

So many times since that unfortunate day, I wish I could have done more for him, made him proud,and fulfill all his wishes.

Life lesson - Don’t wait for a single more moment. Our parents might never ask for anything and just give all their lives to us.

Surprise them, spoil them, hug them, ask them about their dreams, and love them. Because one day you might be able to buy a fleet of cars, but you can’t buy time.

We all wish that we could reverse time and bring our loved ones back. But can we? Unfortunately, no!

So dont wait .....just fulfil their wish NOW...... no point feeding 100 Brahmins with your parents favourite food ... after their demise...... better feed your parents with their favourites .... and be blessed !

You are living because they gave You birth, now it's your Turn ....

Give them everything so that they feel proud of bringing you in to this world.

For them You Are their World.
