Handsomestest Man in the Universe


It is, in a way, embarrassing and perhaps vain for gentlemen my age to put out photographs of themselves online, but my daughter clicked this one and told me I am “…the most handsomestest man in the Universe, from London to Bangalore to Goa to Pune one hundred million thousand; I love you!” and so, in a fit of self-indulgence and emotion, and with quite some awkwardness, here is me in the elevator on the way to drop the 5yo off to her school, trying to live up to the impossible standards set by her.


Psst!: When do I break it to her that she’s wrong, and the most handsome man in the Universe passed away in August this year. He was my father.
