(A tribute to my "Chacha")
Never conceded he was too a human being,
a mortal with counted years in hand to live, love and grow.
A soul full of souls, making our lives happy and untangled.
He was one of those, the utmost significant yet imperceptible cord tying all our loose ends.
Existence was such, the days spent were never enough...
Vacations loaded with carrom tournaments,
Small trips exclusive to bizarre locations,
Planning every little detail to ending up with a karaoke evening at every event.
The celebration and creation, the cheerfulness and assistance,
full up to brim was an individual he.
The mentor, the guide, the father of all little beings under his care.
Lost have we, his very physical being.
But content in knowing that somewhere in the place around, he does exist.
Last what he did was too painful, confiscating our hearts and leaving them drenched with tears of sorrow and departing pause.
Convincing a reality that permanency does not exist.
A man beyond one's perception was thee!!!
