Oh, yes! Dads of this age are cool! Unlike times of our grandparents, fathers have gone on to be as cool AF! Dads of today are cool to chill out with sipping beer and sharing a smoke! The cool dads of today are there to guide as with logic. They do not just command us with mandates, nah! If they really want us to stay away from something, they validate it with reasons, sometimes citing examples from their own experiences of life. They tease us on social media, and also leaves the most encouraging remarks as comments at times too!

I’m sure you guys have found your dads beside you whenever you might have failed your own expectations. They have been their again, with the silence of support, and talks of cruising you through your difficult phases of life. It is not only for our academics for which we turn to our dads for advice and suggestions anymore. Dads are helping us with our relationships, sports, and unconventional career choices, and extra-curricular activities. A domain that was predominated by mothers is not ventured into by fathers, and boy, they are doing a great job!

Anindya Sarkar, who works with Pantaloons Fashion and Retail Ltd, says, “I play with my son. I feed him. I also share my emotions with him. These are things my father never did for me. These were for my mother to do. But I do everything for my son, and he thinks me to be his friend than a grave father. I scold him when it is necessary too, but he is also intelligent enough to know that he was being naughty.”

Dads are really the new best friends of us. From drives to movies to tips about dating they are there for everything! Need a lift, or need to bum a cigarette? Ask your dad, and they would not say no! Dads rock, don’t they?
