Sanjay Khatri with son Shlok

Readers share memorable pictures of their dads. Share yours too!

With Father's Day coming up on June 19, we invited readers to send in special 'Daddy and Me' pics. Here's the next set of responses!

First up we have this pic from Sanjay Khatri who says:

This is me with my son Shlok Khatri. I titled this photo in typical Mumbaiya style -- 'Stall and Balcony'. Shlok understands it is Father's Day, but expects me to buy him a gift which is really funny! He loves cars, which in fact was my childhood dream. But I never got to fulfill it because of the hardships my dad had to go through bringing up a large joint family. I am sort of fulfilling my dreams by giving Shlok the best I reasonably can. He is born in the UK so he does have a different lifestyle and schooling, but I ensure he is also close to his dad's grass-roots in Mumbai.

Aniket Risbud with daughter Aarya

And finally, Aniket Risbud of Mumbai sent in this pic with his daughter:

I am Aniket and I am a travel freak. I love visiting places and even take my daughter Aarya and wife Priti along wherever possible. Aarya is an environment freak. She doesn't enjoy much in artificial theme parks, but enjoys a lot in the lap of nature. This is one of those times. I try to find places that are unexplored and which reveal the beauty of nature. This place particularly, is a few kilometres away from my residence at Virar, but its unexplored.
