“The most precious gift my father gave me is time. Though we are emotionally close, we are geographically very far apart. Once I felt this incredible urge to be with him. So when he asked me two years ago what I wanted for my birthday, I said I would like to spend some time with him. Though he was very busy he took the time out to go for a trip to Goa with me and we spent the trip walking on the beach, swimming and playing scrabble.”
