The lady in pic is my grandmother and the kid is me!! 18th September 2007 is her death anniversary, almost 3 years that we lost her. i always feel her presence, last few days i am missing her a lot. i admire her i worship her for the kind of lady she was , i remember i used to think if i can become an inch like her it will be an achievement.
why i admire her ? well i am not the only one who does so my whole village people back home used to admire her for her strength . i remember few people telling me she is a living goddess
what is about her that make her so close to goddess?? i really cant have exact word to describe her but definitely something about her.
my grandfather left house in order to search peace when she was carrying my youngest aunty,in a word, she was left with 5 kids with no one to lean on ,that again put my grandfather in position of a coward, but i am not going about that i am proud of my grand father in equal proportion as well.. the matter of fact that he left house and my grand mom has 5 kinds to feed and to bring up , people say she never asked for anybody's help not even her brother , when he came to take her with him to his house she said "its ok brother you too have your family so you better take care of them", i know you will take me today but one day my burden is gona be too much for you and then you will repent it, and so will i and if you leave me here i will learn to take care of myself so i am better off here ,
one more incident i remember when my grand father died in his ashram , the news came she was totally composed, few ladies in village came and started crying she dint even shed a tear ,and since i was always a curious kid i asked her dadi u are not sad?? she asked why? i said you are not crying she said i cried enough for him now there is no tears left to shed , i thot she must be bitter towards him.. but then again i had my share of surprise there is one teez fast that ladies do for long life of their husbands my dadi used to do it even after demise of my grandfather i asked her dadi why you do this grand pa is no more na?? she said lovingly dear i do this to get your grandpa in next birth as well....
