Father's Day: Daddy Dearest, What to Give You?

Every Father's Day, most of us are challenged with 'what to give him?' I'd say give him what he really wants - a day well-spent, garnished with laughter.Let's raise a toast to all the dads out there! The ones who crack up watching comedy shows and insist you sit next to them. The ones who like to be dressed as sharp as Don Draper and even the ones who like being dressed down like Joey from Friends. The over enthusiastic sporty dad or the dramatic Bollywood buff. Celebrate and cherish them, for there is no man who will love you as unconditionally as him. Here are five great ways of saying "Hey Dad, Thank you for everything!".The Been-There-Done-that DadHe's the one who turns around many times a day just to add "Hey, I did this in my time as well".

 The Mom Dad
This sweet, sweet father will do everything that usually moms would do. Right from attending those gruesome PTA's to working from home just to spend few extra hours with you.

 The Retro Dad
These dads time travel to the 70's and 80's almost all the time. They still haven't quite made peace with the fact that they're now in the 21st century and need to know more than just how to make a call using a smartphone. They are far from technology and notoriously hard to argue with.  Any argument that starts with, "Back in the day..." is a lost battle. Be it cars, clothes or songs, they love all things vintage!A Prawn Cocktail with freshly baked Apple Pie will make this charmingly retro hero happy.
 The Desi Dad'No!' is their favorite expression but all you need is some melodrama to get them around.  They mostly warn you against the 'western' influence but you'll find them secretly trying to adapt to the changing scenario. I am not too sure why but most of them seem to have a forever aching sweet tooth. For the desi dads, this Gulab Jamun Cheesecake is just what you need.  A happy combination of Indian flavours with a Western influence.
 The Disciplinarian'Wait till your father comes home'. We've heard that one, haven't we? You might have struggled with his strict rules but don't forget that he's made you what you are today. He talks less and refrains from PDA (public display of affection). But you know for a fact, that behind the facade you'll find a soft center.Just like dad! A crisp bake that holds a molten surprise, whip up this Lava Cake for him.
