A Letter To My Sunshine Sneh, My Grandmother!

-

Dearest Bhabhi (that’s what we all call her),
I just wanted to write you a little something to let you know how much you have meant to me. I also wished if we had skype , whatsapp, gtalk , googlehangout in heaven!

I think the thing that has always stood out to me most is your strong faith in within. you never followed anything blindly, you never forced anything on us. I remember from a young age feeling drawn to you in a special way, I think I could see God shining through you. I loved to sit by your side and just listen to you talk about everything in life, about your experiences, about
I have always felt blessed by your presence, I know you and Dadu pray for all of us kids often. I can’t imagine what my life may have been without your blessings. You are both a blessing from God. Since you’re gone I think about you and remember that your prayers are with me and it would give me strength just thinking about that.
You have passed your faith and strength to your children and grandchildren. You have built a wonderful legacy and I hope you can see the fruits of your labor in some of us.
We hear a lot of things about angels like what they look like and what or who they are, but you're my angel. You're always near and with us no matter what, whatever we do or have done or are going to do. Like God, grandmas are always going to be there with us no matter what, because we will always have them in our hearts.
I have been blessed with you as my grandma and I just wanted to let you know that. I love you very much and hold you close to my heart.
With love and thankfulness for all that you have been to me, Faith
And here goes the poem that i penned down the next day after your soul departed:-
My strength
My support
My reason of happiness, success, life
My inspiration
She was more than a mother to me
She brought me up she loved me unconditionally
Her smile was infectious
Her touch was soothing
I could never imagine my life without her
Best trips, outings, stay overs, dinners, vacations..
I am so fortunate to have been able to spend so much time with her
Her teachings, her words, and her blessings her love will stay with me forever and forever
Before she left us, I had a glimpse of her smiling face.
That is embedded in my heart, framed and will be remembered and cherished each day.
LOVE YOU SNEH, MY STRENGTH FOREVER

A letter to Grishma 10 years from now

When I was in 8th / 9th standard, I started to keep a diary where I wrote down all my thoughts and secrets. From my frustrations with the exam results, to my friend’s secret story , to my own version of chicken soup for the soul, It would’ve been nice if I can read again what I wrote then and maybe tap into my old self. Unfortunately, however, I’m an idiot who misplaced that diary. Much thanks to the internet, I can now keep a diary and read it anytime, anywhere. And so, I’ve decided to write a letter, addressed to my self ten years from now. By then, I’d be 34, and maybe, just maybe… I’d still be very happy. Dear 34 y/o Grishma, How are you? I honestly hope and pray that you’re doing well and that things have turned out the way you planned them to. Have you seen the world yet? I know you have always wanted to do that, to get out of this place, not to run away from it all but to experience the world as it was made to be. By now, I’d assume you’ve been to Japan, Australia and America al

Dadu, my only love. Will miss you

Until We Meet Again, dadu, I love you.  A note to you, heartbroken one: Today, we say our goodbyes to one of the most incredible men I have ever met in my entire life. we feel the empty void very clearly. The head of the family is no longer here with us, He lived a good life a really good one I would say. Whatever he wished wanted has always come true.  But we know that he is no longer in pain, and is now in a place that is more amazing than the best possible day here on Earth. We also know that this is just a temporary goodbye. We know we will see him again. I wrote dadu a letter a couple of days ago. I process things and express myself best in writing, so this was my way of saying goodbye to him. I never want to forget this letter. I love you, dadu . I can’t believe I’m writing this letter to you. I guess I never thought about what it would be like when you would no longer be here. You have always been such a key part of my life, and such a steadfast and healthy part; I never let mys

This Time - This time you will never get back

So lots of us are cribbing at this time, the entire country is in quarantine. It's been 8 days..and another 20 to go. I am just saying that make the most of it. We will never get this time back again. We will never get this break..of-course working from home but the time that we have, the extra time . Its amazing. Like i am really enjoying it. We will not even know and it will be over. It is just okay to slow down and just take a back seat. Wake up, listen to the birds chirp   🦅 - no sound of vehicles or traffic whatsoever. Cool breeze ⛰  - no pollution, clean air. Eat home food 🥘  - make your own- the way you like it - just the way you like it. Your pace  🐢 - Do things at your pace- no rush-hush- deadline. Light candles 🕯  - a different fragrance everyday- light your room-light from within Write 🖊  - I am not a seasoned writer. I can only write if I am feeling something strongly. And since the time I have been at home, feeling so many things, it's so good to
