Sairam friends,

I have moved this post from another website after an year Since I feel comfortable bringing people to StarSai to spread the message better. Hope you like it.

Hi,

This is the first post in StarSai Mom and Dad especially because of our families connection with the Name “Indra”.

When my sister was born, my father had a different name of his choice but later my Mom’s elder brother suggested my mom that her daughter has sharp features and must be named “Indra” because she must be a Women who achieves a lot like Indira Gandhi.

My sister lived up to everyone’s expectations and carries my fathers name behind her even after she got married. As people in U.S calls by last name, My Dad takes pride in telling everyone

“She’s a Research Scientist and everyone calls my daughter with my name”

Isn’t that something?

When we were kids, My mother used to have paper cuttings of leaders and show us what they did and how they achieved in life. Later everything was forgotten as life goes on…

Realize the Greatness of your Father:

Tomorrow is Father’s day 2013 and Fatherly is inspired by a dream I had by blessings of Saint Shirdi Sai Baba. I wanted to do something that makes everyone realize the greatness of their Father. I never have gifted anything to my Father and If ever I had given him something, Its given as a gift but just as something I add to his life.

The greatest thing I have done for my father is what I wrote in About Us page of Fatherly.in because My Dad took care of us all these years and taught us how to be a Great Father which is why I am able to express how important it is to take care of your Parents as they are aging.

Anyway,

Here’s the first listing you can gift yourself and your Father on any occasion or Father’s day for that matter !

Letters from a Father to His Daughter

Jawaharlal Nehru

Book Description

During summer of 1928, 10-year-old Indira Gandhi was in Mussoorie. Her father Jawaharlal Nehru was then busy working in Allahabad. During summer, Nehru wrote several letters to tell her stories about when and how the earth was made, how animal and human life came into existence, and how societies and civilisations evolved throughout the world.

In his letters, he speaks of races, early and present-day faiths and beliefs of religion, the beginning of communication using languages by making sounds that are meaningful, how writing evolved through meaningful marks, and how the different languages were related. He also referred to civilisation and division of labour, which paved the way to the patriarch and the rule by kings and formation of kingdoms.

He also wrote about trade and travel.He speaks of the Aryans coming to India, and the morals taught by the great epics, Ramayana and the Mahabharata. He has explained the summary of these great epics interestingly in an easy way for a 10-year-old girl to understand, and his way of explaining complex matters is very appealing.About Jawaharlal NehruJawaharlal Nehru was an idealist and visionary, statesman and scholar of international stature, and an outstanding writer.Apart from Letters From A Father To His Daughter, his three most renowned books include The Discovery Of India, Glimpses Of World History, and An Autobiography.
