Parents — perfect or flawed — teach us a lot. Corporate and sports standouts talk about what they learnt from their father:
Kunal Bahl, CEO, Snapdeal “My father has always kept himself busy with work, and my earliest memories are of him leaving early in the morning, driving his red Maruti 800, with the windows rolled down in scorching Delhi heat, and returning late at night, exhausted. But in all these years I have seen how he deeply loves, adores and respects his wife, my mom. However tough the situation he may have been in, financially or personally, he always has had time and affection for her. I never realised the importance of this till I got married. Observing the love my dad felt and showed for my mom while growing up had a profound impact on my relationship with my wife.”
“Growing up, we didn’t have the kind of relationship where we would hug each other or share much. There was always some fear in approaching him. As I grew up, the fear turned into admiration for how supportive he was of our family and my game. He has gone out of his way to support the family, financially and emotionally. My unconditional love and passion for cricket comes from him.”
Vita Dani, Chairperson 11Even sports “I still learn from him. I lost my father, Rasiklal Meswani, when I was only 14. There were three things that he taught me, which stayed with me — hard work, being truthful and self-belief. He used to say no matter what, be true to yourself and be true to others. If you do that, no matter what it is, you will sail through. The harder you work, the luckier you get. He was a selfmade man and he believed in himself. He believed that some things took time, while some things happened fast, but if you didn’t believe in it, nobody else would believe in you. And of course, he taught me to cook a bit, especially tea and sheera.”
“My father taught me to dream big. I have seen that the first step to achieving something worth having, is to dream it. This has been the secret of some of my best performances.”
Adarsh Jatia, MD, Provenance Land “He taught me to imbibe integrity in every aspect of life. This golden rule is etched in my DNA and forms a core value of our corporate belief system. There are no shortcuts in life. Perseverance and focus with humility always get you to where you want to go. It may take a little longer, but you will definitely be successful.”
