Each year, 19th June is celebrated as Father’s day. We mostly celebrate it by conducting conventional dinners, lunches and pampering our daddy dearest. This year LG India has taken the initiative of celebrating Father’s Day with a twist by making a ground-breaking statement.
The idea is simple yet powerful. LG India has created a Digital video on Father’s day which seemingly looks like a father’s day video but is actually directed towards the powerful community of single mothers.
It starts with kids of varied age group talking about their aspirations, likes and how their dads contribute in their everyday life. The first kid talks about how he supports his dad spending some quality time with friends, while another kid discusses how his dad’s leg-shaving skills came in handy for his first shaving lesson.
This odd conversation about dads is funny, weird and keeps the audience glued. What truly hits is the end, when these little ones discloses that their actual dads are their single mothers. The mountain who protects and keeps everything together are their single working mothers, who is every bit a woman, not afraid to take the world by storm.
It is truly empowering to see women breaking rules and taking charge of their lives. Wearing the hat of a doting mother, a supportive father and a thorough professional with a smile is not only tough but needs a lot more than courage.
This father’s day, take a moment and watch as empowered women take their stand!

A girl’s father is one of the most influential people in her life, from infant to toddler to tween to teen. Staying away from my father for 2 years now has taught me many things and I have definitely realized his importance. I might not show him but there is a void in my life caused by his absence. I being the smallest in my family have always experienced immense pampering from him. And now I am that directionless barnacle who is lost in this infinite sea without her whale.
Every girl wants a guy just like her dad. But I am sure I will die alone (*LOL*) because there is no guy present on this earth who can match the standards set by my father.
He is a true inspiration in my life. Never I have seen him being weak. He has taught me to be the person I am today. So I am blessed to have my dad that god knew I needed in my life.
If I am a cell, he is my mitochondria.
If I am a bird, he gave me wings.
If I am a fish, he is my ocean.
If I am an egret, he is my cow.
If I am a parasite, he is my host.
If I am a heart, he is the reason for my Systole and Diastole.
He is the synapse of our family.
(Perks of having biology in high school! I have a never ending list of such examples in my head :P)
I want to wish my first superhero, my invisible pillar, strength, trouble shooter, support system a very HAPPY FATHER'S DAY and to all the fathers and father figures out there.
And I salute them for their untiring efforts and contributions to make the lives of their children better. <3
