An Interview With Rob Bialostocki

Everything that we do in our lives, be it our education, our career, our choice of partner and the decision to raise a family, stems from one desire. The desire to live a life that matters. The definition of a meaningful life differs for everyone, yet the search for such meaning is just as real and important for each such adventurer. Some people sit and think about a different life, and then there are some like Rob Bialostocki who go out and actually do it. The result? A Life That Matters, which is a blog chronicling Rob’s travels and the things he gleaned from them. Rob visited the BlogAdda office during his time in India, and very kindly agreed to share his experiences and views in an interview.

#AddaTales – ‘I hugged my dad’

Why do we need Father’s Day? Because it turns the normally distant and formal relationship with fathers all mushy and loving, and we definitely need more of that! As we grow up, we refrain from being affectionate with our fathers, and dads also feel awkward to express their love for their kids. We ask ‘Why?’ If moms can get hugs, so can dads! So last week (which was Father’s Day weekend), our #AddaTales prompt did just that – prompt you to go hug your dad! We asked people on Twitter to start a story that will end with ‘I hugged my dad’. Read below the best story that we saw, a story about love between a father and a son.
