A lot of memories of my dad started swirling in my mind making me so emotional.
I miss him every day, I remember him all the time. I feel his presence and he guides me in all my small and big decisions throughout my life. He is there for me to guide me and show me the right way. It is so strange that most of his students, scouts, and myself we have found out that we would make the almost the same decision if we are put in the same situation. His value system and way of life so much engraved in us, that we think in a similar way.
I am here in Cupertino, CA in the Apple Town but this weekend my thoughts and prayers are in Pune. I am constantly thinking about the ceremony that is going to happen and wishes I could be there. I want to say to everybody in Pune and everybody at the Scout Ground that I am there in spirits and would love to hug those first scouts who will win this trophy that is named after my dad.
My dad was a scoutmaster before my time since I was born after 20 years of their marriage but he was the scoutmaster for life. He has told me so many stories about his days that he spent in Scout that I almost know what happened at that time. Also, I think once a scout always a scout for life. I have started this blog to honor him today and would love to hear more stories of his scouts and students and maybe we can compile it in a book or maybe movie to inspire everybody throughout the world. He was a Parasmani who turned all the people around him in Gold. I would love to collect all the stories of him as a scoutmaster and as an educationist to inspire the upcoming generations.
Please send me your experiences and I will collect and publish them. I am sure that this is going to become the journey of his life.
Best Regards
Jayashree Patil

"Most important aspect of Mamasaheb was that he was ahead of the time and all his relatives I did not realize his uniqueness until he stayed with me in Manchester and then in London.

Whether he is around or not he is always my Role Model. "
