Indian dads are awesome! They may always berate for not being as good as Sharma Ji’s son and nag you for life for a favor they did years ago (like raising you), but they are the one who took you on exciting summer vacations every year and got you bit by wanderlust in the first place.

No matter how embarrassing or irritating those were that you wanted to change your family then, but now those same things are cherished memories of your childhood.
