‘Last conversation was disagreements’: Indian techie misses father’s last call before passing due to work commitment, emotional post strikes a chord

He shared that he was sitting at the airport, waiting to board his connecting flight, overwhelmed with thoughts and emotions. “I’m sitting at the airport now, waiting for my second flight, and hundreds of thoughts are running through my mind, thoughts I have no control over,” he said.

While scrolling through his call history, Naskar noticed that his father had also tried to reach out.

“I didn’t call him back. I should have. I always thought I had more time with him. I didn’t,” he admitted. “The last conversations between my father and me were about some disagreements. But we loved each other. He told my mom he was proud of me — not to me, though.”

Naskar described himself as someone who isn’t usually expressive about his emotions; however, the weight of the moment left him overwhelmed. “I’m writing this with a heavy heart and tears in my eyes because I need to keep a tough face when I see my mom and sister,” he shared. “I’m writing here to process everything and prepare myself to see my father, one last time.”

I lost my father this morning.

I got over 20 phone calls from my mom, but I was working late and didn’t hear calls. When I finally picked up (at around 8am), I booked the fastest flight I could, but I’ll only reach by 7 PM.

I’m sitting at the airport now, waiting for my second…
