The quirks and perks of girl dads and boy dads
There's no handbook for fatherhood — just heart, chaos, and the unique joys of raising boys and girls. Girl dads braid hair and wear glitter. Boy dads learn football tricks and negotiate over toys. While the world expects stoicism, these dads embrace softness and emotion. Whether through cuddles, puzzles, or bedtime stories, they're not just raising kids – they're raising humans — kind, curious, and full of heart. Pic: Anindya Saha Soham, Ayaansh & Adhyansh Sohom Chakraborty said: 'My boys only ask for my time. Don and Dontu have their rituals — bhaanrer chaa, football tricks, and their nightly 9pm calls when I'm away for work. All I ask of them is to be kind, hardworking, and grounded. They're emotional kids, and I love that.' Pic: Rahul and Sohoj Rahul & Shohoj Rahul Banerjee says Shohoj and him bond over everything from Satyajit Ray to Harry said: 'Our relationship is a two-way street—we give and take knowledge equally.' A few years ago, Shohoj had asked him, 'Baba, my friends are scared of their dads, but I'm not scared of you! Eta ki thik hocche?' To this, Rahul said, 'I've never told my son to 'man up'.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Switch to UnionBank Rewards Card UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo Arjun & Avantika Arjun Chakrabarty says: 'My princess looks forward to me being home—because to her, Baba means cuddles, laughter and a partner in all things naughty. We bond over word searches, sudoku, and puzzles—just like I used to as a kid.' He explains, 'I never imagined I'd enjoy tying her hair or painting her nails, but here I am. I'm a possessive father, and it's bittersweet watching her grow up, so fast.' When asked about the hardest part: 'When I'm out of town and she asks on video call, 'Baba, when will you come? Why have you gone away for so many days?' Pic: Anindya Saha Ranadeb & Aameya Pic: Anindya Saha Talking about his daughter, Ranadeb Bose said: 'I often find myself covered in glitter, stickers, or wearing neon eyeshadow—definitely not by choice, but because my daughter isn't allowed to wear makeup yet, and apparently, I'm the closest available canvas. Aameya looks at me with eyes full of joy, curiosity, and a kind of wild creativity that I never want to dim.' He says she is growing up into a fine young lady. 'I just get the honour of watching her become her own person,' he adds. Quotes: I love colouring, drawing and playing with Baba. We also love cycling and swimming. I miss him a lot when he's away– Avantika My dad is the best. He spends all his free time with me, we play games together which is my favourite part of playtime. I'm his princess and I love that– Aameya Baba always makes sure I am happy.

Laughter Chefs 2's Chef Harpal Singh Sokhi remembers his father, his 'silent strength'
For celebrity Chef Harpal Singh Sokhi, celebrating days like Father's Day was not about grand gestures or social media tributes. It's about the quiet strength, the silent sacrifices, and the deeply personal memories that define the word 'father. ' Sharing his thoughts on the occasion of Father's Day, which is observed on June 15, he said, 'A father, or a father figure as we often say, is like the strong pillar of our life, our family, and our home. The bond between a father and his family is very emotional and deep. What touches me the most is how silently a father takes up all the responsibilities. He doesn't make a show of it, he just quietly supports everyone without expecting anything in return. That's the beauty of a father. He gives his time, strength, and love selflessly, and asks for nothing back. That is what makes this day so important for me.' This year, Chef Harpal doesn't have elaborate plans for Father's Day. He shared, 'I don't have any special plans for Father's Day this time. My daughters are studying abroad now, so they don't live with me. But whenever they are here, we always go out and spend time together.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Switch to UnionBank Rewards Card UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo However, his daughters don't forget to surprise him on these special days by sending him gifts. He added, 'Honestly, for me, even one small word from them is enough. Just hearing them say, 'Papa, how are you?' that's more than enough for me. It fills my heart and gives me all the energy I need.' Reflecting on his own father, Chef Harpal spoke about a time when occasions like Father's Day weren't celebrated. He said, 'Well, I lost my father many years ago. Honestly, back then, days like Father's Day were not really celebrated. So, I don't remember doing anything special for him on such a day. But I do remember how things were when I was growing up. After I finished Class 12, many of my father's friends had children who had become engineers, doctors, and were well-settled. My father, at that time, didn't have much to say about us, as we were working hard in the food industry as cooks and chefs. I know it must have been difficult for him. But when we moved ahead in life, when I came on television, when our work was covered in newspapers, that's when he finally felt proud. I could see it in his eyes.' For Chef Harpal, those silent nods of approval were worth more than any trophy. He said, 'All I ever wanted was to make him happy. And when I started achieving things through my dedication to cooking and my work, it brought him joy. Being featured in newspapers, on TV it all made a difference. That was my way of giving back to him. He had done so much for me, and now it was my turn to make him proud. Seeing him happy in those moments was the biggest reward for me. ' Among his most cherished memories are Sunday mutton curries and pickle-making sessions with his father. He shared, 'Every Sunday, he would cook mutton curry, and I used to go with him to the vegetable market. We would buy all the vegetables together, and then head to the mutton shop to get the meat. My father would cook the mutton himself, and all of us would eagerly wait for Sunday just for his special mutton curry.' Diwali too brought special bonding. 'We used to make some of the firecrackers at home like anaars and phooljhadis. I would help my father fill the anaars, seal them with clay from behind, and then we would put them out in the sunlight to dry,' Chef Harpal added. What stayed with him most, however, was a life lesson delivered with quiet honesty. He said, 'One of the most important lessons my father taught me was during my time at IHM… When I had just started working as a cook, my father once called me and said, 'Arpal, we don't really understand what you do, because no one in our family has ever worked in a hotel. In fact, we've never even dined in one because we couldn't afford it… You have chosen a path that we know nothing about. So, your success will be your own, and your failures too will be your own.' That stayed with me. It made me realise that I had no option but to succeed. Failure was not a part of my plan.' Asked about his favourite onscreen father figure, Chef Harpal offers a heartfelt response: 'I don't think anyone can ever replace the role of a father, even on screen. For me, a father is a father one and only. No one else can take that place. That's it.' Get the latest lifestyle updates on Times of India, along with Father's Day wishes , messages , and quotes !

Sir David Beckham: Was Manchester United legend the most underrated footballer in the world? Decoding former Galctico's footballing legacy
'Beckham, into Sheringham… and Solskjaer has won it!' 'Manchester United have reached the promised land.' The corner came in like a hymn. Beckham's delivery—whipped, precise, inevitable—was scripture in motion. In the annals of football, there are players who pass, players who dribble, players who score. And then there was David Beckham—who could place a football on a postage stamp from 40 yards while running at full tilt. And look gorgeous doing it. Or to paraphrase Leonard Cohen: David had a secret chord that pleased the Lord. For United fans of the current vintage, it's hard to forget how good Beckham and his mates were and how terrifying it was for opposing teams when they played together. Because at that moment we were all in a Gurinder Chadha film, hoping to bend it like Beckham and if we couldn't copy his mohawk hairstyle, much to the chagrin of mothers and teachers. You had Ryan Giggs running like a cocker spaniel chasing a silver piece of paper. You had Roy Keane looking at you menacingly as he covered every blade of grass. You had Paul Scholes hitting the ball with such power that it took Sir Alex Ferguson's breath away. And you had David Beckham pinging crosses and passes with such accuracy that it seemed barely human. It's easy to forget now, with the beard oils and whisky launches, the sarongs and showmanship, that before he became a brand, Beckham was a baller. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Switch to UnionBank Rewards Card UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo And not just a decent one. A magnificent one. He wasn't a dribbler like Messi. He didn't roar like Rooney. He didn't shrug off defenders like Ronaldo. He didn't drop his shoulder like Cruyff. But when Beckham struck a ball, it obeyed. As if Newtonian physics had made an exception for a young working-class lad from London. And then the universe followed for its rules of celebrity. Born May 2, 1975, he's now 50. Half a century. And yet, there are days he still looks like that boy from Leytonstone, walking up to a dead ball with a gaze so focused you'd think the world was about to tilt. And often, it did. The Lad from Leytonstone The new Knight of the Realm wasn't born into privilege, but he was born with an obsession. His father was a kitchen fitter and a rabid Manchester United supporter. His mother was a hairdresser. Together, they gifted him football boots, not fairy tales. The middle name 'Robert' was a nod to Bobby Charlton. Not that he needed the hint. While other kids played for fun, Beckham played to become. Teachers would ask what he wanted to be. He'd say, 'A footballer.' They'd laugh. But there's no dissuading a kid who knows his dharma . At age 14, he joined United as a youth trainee and was soon part of the club's golden nursery—the Class of '92. In fact, Ferguson, contrary to his image as the Devil reincarnate, would let Beckham hang out with the first team and clean their boots, a task the young Beckham thought was the greatest chore in the world. In 1995, with United letting go of seasoned names like Mark Hughes and Paul Ince, the kids were thrown into the fire. They lost 3-1 to Aston Villa. Cue Alan Hansen's infamous line: 'You can't win anything with kids.' Except these weren't regular kids. By the end of that season, Beckham and the boys had won the league. Of course, they had a wry Frenchman named Eric Cantona to help them along. But for Beckham, the true breakthrough moment came the season later when he lobbed the Wimbledon keeper Neil Sullivan from his own half. Even Eric Cantona was ostensibly impressed with the young man who worshipped him. And once Cantona retired prematurely to follow more philosophical pursuits like the proverbial seagulls, David Beckham begged for and inherited his shirt: the hallowed number 7. The Treble. The Truth. David Beckham Magic | | Manchester United Vs Bayern Munich in UCL Final 1999 Yet it was the 1998-99 season that truly made him, to borrow a line from his father, grow into a man. The 1999 Champions League final was, for Beckham, a remarkable redemption arc that began with the horror show of France 1998 when he was sent off for a cheeky pub-side hack on Diego Simeone, who fell like he was auditioning for the slasher horror movie Hostel where someone had cut his Achilles tendon. David Beckham became the most hated name in England, to the point that his effigies were burned all around. But that actually forged the siege mentality that allowed Ferguson to mould his team into world beaters. And Beckham was instrumental in that season, scoring 9 goals and providing 20 assists, though numbers hardly tell the full tale of Beckham's contributions. He scored the first goal in the FA Cup semi-final replay against Arsenal, he got the first goal in the final game of the league season against Tottenham, and delivered the precise corners that helped United triumph in the very last minute against Bayern Munich. The great lie of football is that it's a game of moments. It isn't. It's a game of margins. Beckham operated in the margins with the precision of a surgeon and the romance of a poet. It would appear that he had the secret chord that pleased the Lord. His right foot was less a limb and more a compass, pointing north every time the team lost its way. The Right Boot of God David Beckham's Top 10 Premier League Free Kicks | Manchester United If Maradona had the Hand of God, Beckham had the Right Boot of God. It wasn't just that he could cross. It was that he could cross on command, under pressure, from impossible angles. His delivery was so accurate, it felt like watching a heat-seeking missile disguised as a football. He made the football curl, dip, hover, and hum through the air—like it had fallen in love with where it was going. He still holds the record for most free-kick goals in Premier League history: 18. More than Cristiano Ronaldo. More than Henry. More than Kevin de Bruyne. More than anyone else in the history of the English game. And it wasn't just the number—it was the weight of the moments. The 93rd-minute free-kick against Greece to send England to the World Cup. The whipped-in goal against Leicester from wide. The relentless deliveries that made strikers look better than they were. Give Beckham one moment, and he gave you a masterpiece. He didn't just hit the ball. He whispered to it. And it listened. Arise, Sir Goldenballs David Beckham was never the best player in the world. But he might have been the most important. He changed the image of a footballer. He built a brand before Instagram. He bent free-kicks, and then bent the arc of what an athlete could be. Goldenballs. Spice Husband. Captain. Galáctico. Icon. Knight. Yes, he's finally a knight now—despite what the c***s on the honours committee thought for years. And through it all—through the fame, the fragrance ads, the fashion shoots and front pages—he never lost that one thing: the secret chord. The one that pleased the Lord. And the Stretford End.
