Farewell to my dearest Shai

-
Dearest Saii baba, 

Sorry I wasn't around on your last day at work but trying to make up for it. Read on..

The truth is that goodbyes never get easier, no matter how many times you are in that situation. 

It is amazing how work became fun when you were around. You are not just a colleague but a very good friend too. It is rare that one finds a good friend in a colleague atleast in my case where I consciously don't mix personal and professional.  Thanks for being that wonderful person who always I will always remember. 

The  good with it is a promise of something better that is in store for you.I consider myself fortunate to have met such a person like you shai. I am going to miss all the mental laughter ,talking nonsensical Gujarati ,and all the crazy things.

Thanks for all those times where you helped me with managingm my stress levels ! It will be difficult to fill the void. Best of luck my sai baba! A little someyhing for you - 

I couldn't find the right words
Nothing seemed to rhyme
To write something for you
I think it will take time

Because when you have friends
That are very hard to find
There's so much to say
But can't find words at the right time

So I will tell you right now
To show you how much I appreciate
You being there everyday

I wish I could explain
How much you mean to me
But its just not possible
To list a billion things

So I just wanted to say
Without pakaoing you much

That you better stay in touch!!!

Lots of love 

Grish

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
