FATHER'S DAY 2021

This year to celebrate Father’s Day, I created a mini documentary featuring stories from nine dads from different parts of the world.

I had a blast listening to the dads and fascinated to see how dads all over the world are connected by a common thread… how dads, who normally do not show much emotion, break into a ‘smile from the heart’ when they talk about their kiddos.

Enjoy!!! Share with your loved ones in your life.

Raising a Father is a talk, and now a book by Arjun Sen. It is a father’s memoir which takes the audience through an enchanting journey of wildly entertaining and heart-touching stories. Each story marks a professional dad’s journey to leave the corporate world to become a dad first. Raising a Father emphasizes the importance of taking responsibility in relationships and introduces the break-through concept of taking measure of your relationships.

During Arjun Sen’s days in the corporate world, a wise, rapid corporate stair-climbing friend told him, “Arjun, in order to achieve bigger glories, one must make smaller sacrifices in life.” It was clear he was referring to spending less time with family, not being there for children’s special moments, and similar “small” sacrifices in personal life. Now that Sen has learned the hard way, he is reaching out to tell him that you can have both.

Seeing his father-daughter future reduced to obligatory phone calls on birthdays and Father’s Day, Sen left corporate America. He started a home-based marketing consulting company in Denver, his 10-year-old daughter’s favorite city, named his daughter as manager, and began the journey of becoming a true father.

Sen measures success differently today. His daughter Raka leaves for college soon, and Sen believes his success is determined by the time he spends with her. This is a story of Raka using all her charm, patience, love, and caring nature to teach her father how to be a better dad and person. Click here for reviews and feedback
