Inspired to start writing again. I must do it more often. Life is on a roll. So much to do, such little time.
On that note I think of what to jot down. Nothing comes to mind. I think, may be a movie I watched recently, may be a book that I read. Indecisive as always! *Sigh*! Mental note, speak less, observe more, may be then I will have things to pen down.
On a different note, my grandfather passed away recently . The last one of my grand-parents. Its true, one never realizes the importance of someone till he is gone. How I wish he had lived longer.
And its his birthday today! He recently became my friend on facebook. It always amazed me how quickly he would pick up new things. He would innocently write "I like it" on our photos and messages because he probably did not know about the like button. Now, everytime I log on to my page and see him there, a tear trickles down.
The sorrow is much more, because we did not have the slighest clue that he would go like this. A healthy man, all of 83, he enjoyed, every bit of life. He had once asked me to come online at 5PM everyday so that we could chat. And now there is no one. Such is life.
The only consolation is that he is in a better place now. My grandmother left him 10 years ago. They are probably together now, or such is the hope! It's so tough to move on. But, like they say, "Agar apne mann ka ho, toh achcha, agar apne mann ka na ho, toh aur bhi achcha; kyunki woh bhagwaan ke mann ka hota hai" which is to say if you get what you wish for, its good, if you don't then its even better; because it is God's wish.
On this day, I pray with all my heart that he is well, where ever he is. We have with us very fond memories that we will cherish forever.
Love You Nana!

I was unable to read the whole thing,tears stopped me.so many times I feel it to be a bad dream,that he has passed away,but then I wake up and the truth shatters me.He should not have gone so suddenly and so quietly.we could not even say goodbye.
