Happiest Birthday My Dearest Daduu!!

-

Dearest Dadu, Wishing you a very very  happy birthday.
Dadu, I want to wish you the very best 86th birthday that anyone could ever have. I only wish that I could express, how much I  love you  and admire you for the man that you are. You have demonstrated nothing but positivity to me. You have provided a sense of security and stability for me that can last my entire life. You are everything that anyone could ever ask for in a grandfather and more.Thank you for being the wonderful man that you are, and sharing your whole-hearted goodness with me throughout my life. The sincerity in your love and guidance has always been obvious, and has had a profound impact on me and all of us in the family. My fond memories of spending time with you are something that I will cherish now and will forever. 
Dadu i clearly remember that i would hold your little finger and go to play school every single day and i still remember the smile on your face that would flash every time i said bye bye dadu. You always wondered what would we ( your grand children) do in life? And every time you wondered , i tried harder , i worked harder,  i always wanted to make you proud and prouder. i wanted you to always hold your head high up whenever anyone inquired about us. 

The best thing about you is that you are a power house of positivity and we all know you do get irritated about  a few “certain” things. I really admire you and your way of life. I don’t remember a single day when we haven’t spoken. Yu are somebody is is indispensable and i cannot imagine my life without you. You always encouraged us to do well professionally and not bother about little things that don’t matter, Its always the bigger picture that you have asked us to aim for.

You hardly have gray hair in your head. Though you are eighty five years old, you are spiritually young. I admire your constant cheerfulness, and  optimism. You are the coolest dadu anyone could ever have. 
You have worked hard for seventy years of your life, which is the reason your future generations aren’t seeing too much struggle. Don’t take your presence in our lives lightly, even though you are old we take inspiration from you every single day.. 

My dear grandfather, a wonderful man, 
Wisdom of life, openly shared, 
Comforted me, when I was scared. 
Since I was little, you gladly helped raise. 
Countless things, with patience you taught, 
You listened to me, whenever I thought. 
My dear grandfather, I truly care, 
I'd like to wish you, only the best, 
With the dearest grandfather, I have been blessed.

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

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
