उत्तर
Character sketch of a family
member – ‘My Father’
Born and brought up in Delhi, my father had a typical middle-class upbringing. The youngest of two siblings, he was the most pampered and mischievous of the lot. A fairly average student, he went on to complete his graduation in Physics. Not a big fan of academics, but cricket and bikes were always his passion. He never missed a chance to cheer for Team India and when it came to bikes, he was always on top of the latest launches. Buying his first bike with his own salary remains one of his most cherished memories. Being a government servant for the past twenty years, he has done everything right by the book. Ensuring that his family gets the best of everything seems to be the motto of his life. He has taught me patience, simplicity and compassion and I look up to him for advising and guiding me through life. My father means the world to me!
