Remembering Papa

Today marks 12 years since my beloved papa passed away. It's been such a long time that it does not hurt the way it used to .. i.e. I can get through the day without shedding buckets of tears.

I focus on the qualities that I think I have imbibed from my papa. I *think* I have his sense of innocence, the quality to see the good in people, the capacity to love and respect people for who they are and his ability to show love and affection openly. Sadly, I don't have his mathematical skills, his immense patience and ability to stick to his morals without offending anyone else.

If I have one complaint of god is that he took away a good man way too early. There are so many people who would have benefitted from knowing him and spending time with him. Me included. He was a rare man indeed.

Love You Papa where-ever you are. We all love you and miss you so much. Din Mahine saal guzarte jayenge. Aapki yaadon me ham jeete marte jaenge.
