‘Father’ is the noblest title a man can be given. It is more than a biological role. It signifies a patriarch, a leader, an exemplar, a confidant, a teacher, a hero & friend.”

Some #books that I simply adore due to the way they express the bond of a father & child
#FathersDay

Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance
- one of the best books written in the last century, it tells us endearing story of a father son bond while they undertake a Bike journey across America.

Fav Quote - Sometimes it's a little better to travel than to arrive.

The Pursuit of Happyness- -One of my favourites, the book vividly tells story of a persistent father, Chris Gardner looking to create a better life for his son under all conditions and not giving up.

Fav Quote - The world is your oyster. It's up to you to find the pearls.

To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee
- there are very few Literary fathers like Atticus. His compassion and willingness to let Scout explore the world at his own makes him unique.

Fav Quote - People generally see what they look for, and hear what they listen for.

Letters to My Son: A Father’s Wisdom on Manhood,Life, and Love
Amazing book on what the spiritual side of being a Man is about, emphasising that we need gentleness of spirit

Fav Quote - "Being male is not enough; being a man is a right to be earned and an honor to be cherished,"

Open by Andre Agassi-
Agassi hated Tennis while growing up, and that was due to the rigour which he had to undergo while training but He is what he is today due to his father & his training

Fav Quote-What you feel doesn’t matter in the end; it’s what you do that makes you brave.

“Being a great father is like shaving. No matter how good you shaved today, you have to do it again tomorrow.” –Reed Markham
