Father’s Day wishes

Lami

- Neelz Singh,

Father’s Day is celebrated across the world with the objective of realising and honouring the contributi­on of fathers in the society.

It is a day which celebrates the fatherhood, paternal bonds and the efforts of male parents towards their family and society.

The day is meant to recall, recognise and remember the endless efforts, initiative­s and contributi­ons of all the fathers around us.

Father’s Day inspires mixed emotions for many of us.

Looking at advertisem­ents of happy families could recall difficult memories and broken relationsh­ips for some.

But for others, the day could invite unbidden nostalgic thoughts of parents who have long since died.

Every day should be Father’s Day, and I wish to be like my father and carry his thoughts ahead.

The importance of a father can’t be neglected or ignored at all. He is like a superhero who is always ready to take on everyday troubles for his children.

The significan­ce of a father is beyond words as he is the person who works tirelessly to fulfil the requiremen­ts of his family.

To honour the contributi­on of all such fathers and fatherly figures and to celebrate the paternal bonding, a special day is observed every year as Father’s Day.

To the fathers – Sometimes the rules you make hinder us, but we know it’s for our own good. It’s hard to fulfill every child’s dream, but rest assured, you are the best.

I praise all single fathers for their determinat­ion and courage to raise a child with all love and support.

Father’s Day is an occasion to honour all the fatherly figures like stepfather­s, grandfathe­rs, uncles or even big brothers and not forgetting mothers who play both roles of a mother and a father.

Wishing everyone a very happy Father’s Day.

Never ending

Wise Muavono, Lautoka

Are we doomed to a never-ending parade of new and improved variants that get harder and harder to contain?

Or is there a limit to how much worse coronaviru­s can become?

This is evolution in action.
