His name is Gopal Hegde, 

21st April 1955 is his birth day!! 

Born and brought up in Hubli, he achieved what he dreamt,

A small town boy with simple thoughts, yet very elegant!! 

He got married to a beautiful woman, 

He has two lovely and naughty children!! 

He is a journalist by profession, 

Now leading a peaceful life with his dearest grand children!!

 He loves to read , it's his favorite hobby, 

He is my hero, I love my Daddy!! 

He has been my inspiration for everything, 

Without him I am nothing!! 

He has supported me to reach my aim, 

The biggest gift he has given to me is my identity and name!! 

He is my strength and I know he will always be there 

He is not only a father, he is the definition for love and care!!!
