A post from 2017

Ajja

There is good left in this world;
That's the world where the suffering you went through ended.

There is bad left in this world;
That's the world we have to live in, in your absence.

We ask for a few more days, a few more chances and some more time.
Is a few more of these enough ever? 

We have now reached a stage where we realize that your void cannot be filled;
I cannot remember wanting to reach this stage of life. 

I don't want to believe it; 
I don't want to accept that it's all over.

> He was a different kind of a man. 
> He was helpful. 
> He was kind. 
> He was unlike all his brothers.
> He gave so much. 
> He was an artist. 
> He was filled with talent. 
> He knew everything.

People said all these as "words of condolences" on "the day". I wonder if anyone had actually told this when you could hear and when it mattered. 

If only, there was more time! 
Today, the pain is too much to bear. 
But I hope it is better for you. 

We miss you, your wisdom and everything about you. 
Come back to us in another form that will never relinquish. 
Our hearts are with you , Ajja.
Please come back in a form that knows no pain, perish or tears. 
Guide us as you have always done. 
Stand with us when we forget to do so ourselves. 
Know us through all the deeds that you wanted done. 
Live within us. 


Love, Us

  1. I cannot express how beautifully it’s written. You’ve eloquently described the emotions that most of us struggle to put in words or even say out loud.
