India, June 18 -- On this Father's Day, I find myself reflecting on the man who shaped every part of who I am-with his strength, his wisdom, and his grace. My father wasn't just a parent to me; he was my world and my dream come true. As Chief Justice during the centenary of the Allahabad High Court, he carried the weight of the law with dignity, and the world saw him as a towering figure of justice and truth. But to me, he was so much more than his title. He was my hero. My guiding light. I worshipped the ground he walked on. My father also had the honour of being a part of the centenary celebrations of the Allahabad High Court. Even today, when I think of that moment, I feel an overwhelming sense of gratitude. To be his daughter, to witness his contributions to such a prestigious chapter of India's legal history, is a privilege I carry with pride every single day. We shared a bond that was more than just a daughter and her father relationship. We both had a deep love for the English language. I remember our long conversations about literature, poetry, and the meaning behind words. He taught me how to think, how to speak with conviction, and how to believe in truth - even when it wasn't easy. I got engaged at 14, married at 15, and became a mother at 16. After becoming a mother, I set off for London to pursue a dream that was just beginning to take shape. I studied beauty therapy at the prestigious Helena Rubinstein in London, then continued my training across Paris, Germany, Denmark, and New York. One moment during my time in London changed everything for me. There was a woman who sat quietly outside our classroom every day. I found out she was the mother of one of my classmates, a former model who had lost her eyesight after an allergic reaction to a popular eye kohl. That story made me question everything I was learning. Were we beautifying or harming? When I returned to India, armed with certificates and knowledge, I excitedly showed them to my father. He smiled proudly and said, "You've done so much for the material world. But what about the permanent world?" I laughed and said, "I have time for that." "You may think you have time, but the torch can go out in a blink. Start now," he said. Later, when I shared my desire to start a free school for the deaf, mute, and visually impaired with him, he immediately understood how important it was to me. I asked him to help invite the President of India, Giani Zail Singh, to inaugurate the school. The President inaugurated the school. That day, with his presence and my father's spirit beside me, my dream took flight. The school became a beacon of hope, a place where people who had once been overlooked could now learn, grow, and live with dignity. That moment, like so many others, was a turning point in my life not just as an entrepreneur, but as a human being. Even today, with every award I receive and every step forward I take, I think of him. I feel his presence in every success, in every act of service, and in every life touched.The author is a beauty expert....
