All the grand people are gone...
Gone are the days when I looked forward to summer break, just to get away to meet all the grand people - nana nani and baba dadi. All I can hope today is to catch one last glimpse of their smiles, get one last warm hug, have meals with them, hear all the bed-time stories again, enjoy the talks and the jokes and enrich myself with all the wisdom they shared.
They all went in a jiffy, when I least expected to hear about them. I always thought they lived forever but I was wrong - they will live forever in my heart for me to share with my close ones but not for everyone. They left behind all the beautiful memories of our stays together, of our trips, of our parties and dances and of the marriage plans they had in mind for us!
I know I wont ever hear them again, I know the hugs and kisses won't ever come, the fight to drop us for Delhi, our car rides and how I was always scared when baba drove!, eating out on our birthdays, asking nani to make the yummiest food in the world, watching cricket matches with nana, dadi loving the fact that she could see us on webcam every weekend, teaching facebook and farmville to baba! Little things which just make you smile later!
I wish I can turn back the time, get it all back. Relive each moment and never let go of any one of them!
I miss having the grand people in my life! 24July, 2010 - finished a chapter in my life!
