Another chapter ends...memories that remain!

Its been little more than a week now and the feeling of loss is unexpressive...not many tears and a feeling of void and loss, and mostly numb...

A life gone, a cousin gone...leaving behind unanswered questions. It's like the leaves of a tree falling one by one, only this time the leaf was not old and withered!

So many memories come to the mind...of visits with Ma, of cricket matches and discussions and spending time playing games of marbles...memories of video games and often being told if I visited them to play these games.

Birthdays were incomplete without you all, all these wiped away by tides of time...

Aunts gone, Ma gone and now him! What remains? Barely a year after I wrote a tribute to 'Apple Pishi', her nephew and my cousin joined her too!

April 18th was his birthday and he left us all on April 26th. I didn't call him but left a message and meant to call him in some spare time. But that spare time never came!

His love for animals, cats and dogs are my very early memories of him. Every visit home would mean a visit to theirs the next or the following day. And of stories and tales from different worlds. Next time, it will be so blank and void...



Until we meet again Kuttu dada, you will stay forever in our heart!


This ‘Alpona’ done by you will remind us of your creativity. Wish there would be more ! This one, at the entrance will remain for as long as the colours don't fade.
