Father’s Day is here. That one day of the year when you’re allowed to express emotions without being met with a raised eyebrow, a subtle nod, or that classic Indian dad reply: “Hmm.” While the rest of the world writes essays on love and gratitude, we in India keep it low-key. Why? Because Indian dads are not exactly emotional vending machines. They’re more like Wi-Fi routers: powerful, always around, silently doing their job, but never asking for credit.
