Happy 20th Birthday Nidhi (from Ashok Gupta – Nidhi’s dad)
(Nidhi is Ashok Gupta’s daughter. Ashok wrote this piece 20 years ago when Nidhi turned 20. How time flies!
Nidhi recently found it in her scrapbook. So here it is. Enjoy)
It is a special day today Nidhi, as you turn twenty
I have fond memories I cherish indeed aplenty
I remember peeling oranges for you one by one
Sitting in the room trying to catch every ray of the sun
Buying “teeny weenie” clothes was so much fun
I was a proud papa; you were my beacon
Aah the twenties — time to leave college
Time to find a job, put to use your knowledge
Serve the unfortunate and build your self-image
Life is not just a destination but a voyage
