http://raisingafather.blogspot.com/2011/08/what-day-at-work.html
August 10, 2011. What a day at work! When Tuesday morning finally arrived, Raka was ready, looking professional as ever and ready to rock the world. She was her usual confident self and cautious at the same time, as these are important clients of ours. When she was only 13. Normally these focus group days are long and tiring, but each of the moments with Raka made the long day go by fast. I love you Raka. What a day at work! Send this post to a friend.

Raising a Father Book Blog: January 2011
http://raisingafather.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
January 25, 2011. Facebook or a hug? Since the release of the book 14 months ago I have tried to be structured in posting my blogs every Tuesday night, Denver time. I have to confess that many a time I have asked myself if I was writing just for myself or if anyone ever reads what I write. Calcutta to Mumbai, early morning flight:. Mumbai, Oni’s shoot:. Mumbai, Oni’s shoot round two:. Since my return I have been energized to connect with my classmates from IIT Kharagpur. 8221; But one of my favorites was...

Raising a Father Book Blog: {What happens after she goes to college?}
http://raisingafather.blogspot.com/2011/05/what-happens-after-she-goes-to-college.html
July 13, 2011. What happens after she goes to college? How will I stay in touch with Raka after she leaves for college? Our connection is strong today. Though, when we are apart, we don’t connect very often. An occasional brief text message or phone call is all we usually exchange, and those occasions are only when she shares something amazing that she has done. The good thing is our time apart is normally followed by time together where I cook her favorite meal and we enjoy dinner together. I am also su...

Raising a Father Book Blog: {Monopoly Then and Monopoly Now}
http://raisingafather.blogspot.com/2011/08/monopoly-then-and-monopoly-now.html
August 2, 2011. Monopoly Then and Monopoly Now}. Raka loved playing Monopoly when she was a kid. I was not sure if she still loved Monopoly till last weekend when she invited me to play it with her. I was excited. Soon we had the board spread out on the floor and the two of us were surrounded with cash, property, and cards flying everywhere. I invited Raka to the next room and asked her how she would feel if she was winning instead. But I just did not care. To me the fun of the game was defined by se...

Raising a Father Book Blog: {High School Graduation: Then and Now}
http://raisingafather.blogspot.com/2011/05/high-school-graduation-then-and-now.html
July 26, 2011. High School Graduation: Then and Now}. It marked my taking control of my life and being ready to leave home. Raka graduated from High School . She is all set to go to NYU. She does not have a number ranking as I did, but if she had one it would surely be better than mine. As I see her celebrating with friends and living up every moment of her last days in High School, I can also see the overflowing excitement in her. It is the same excitement I felt in 1982.

Raising a Father Book Blog: May 2011
http://raisingafather.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html
May 3, 2011. I know Raka will freak out when she even reads the title of this post. A lot of you who have read the book have asked me if Raka is perfect. The reason for that is that book does not have any stories of her messing up. Raka taught me this very important principle of being nice in moments of punishment when she was just five years old. She had made some mistake and I said something to the effect, “Bad Raka.”. Though my head is full of worry, my heart is simply full of belief that Raka is read...

http://raisingafather.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
February 22, 2011. A New Scrabble Champion}. Over the holidays this last year Raka and I were able to sit down for a game of Scrabble. It was a long, drawn-out affair and close throughout the entire game but the final score ended at 330 to 334. Raka won! It was the first time Raka beat me in Scrabble and it was one of the best games of Scrabble I have ever played. As we were clearing the board and getting ready for dinner, messages began popping up on my Facebook page. Cool, the war was on. Another Valen...
