Mummy, we will never miss youโ€ฆ.

By

Delhi, Oh! My beloved Delhi,

For me, you will not be the same,

Never, never!!!

Never again!!!!

As Mummy, my dear Mummy,

Mummy and me, in a selfie taken by me in my elder brother’s -the best son in the world- house, in South Delhi, in the beginning of 2021….

A woman of incomparable Resilience,

Who, after leading a life of Satisfaction & Dignity,

Spirituality and Compassion,

Said Au Revoir to us both,

And became a star in the heavens,

Her brightness standing out,

Akin to her willpower in this transient worldโ€ฆ.

But Delhi, Oh! My beloved Delhi,

She will always live in the home, the sweet little home,

Which, she, with so much love, care, and passion,

Crafted in our heart- like a birdโ€™s nest,

Forever illuminating it with her beatific smile,

The smile which lit a million lamps, clicked in the beautiful home which Mummy and Daddy so lovingly created in the South-Western suburbs of Delhi in 1983……many colleagues, who joined BPCL with me, and otherwise too, have visited this house…….time has taken its toll on this snap….

From where she will pray for well-being of the World,

In Nanakโ€™s footsteps of โ€˜Sarbat da Bhalaโ€™,

As she used to do, when in our midst,

And shower her blessings, on one and allโ€ฆ..

The embryonic cocoon of your blessings will shield us from all harm, even as you live forever in our hearts….

    Pal Aunty, Mummy of Sunny (JPS) & Prince (APS), your sweet memories during the time spent with you in my childhood as your next door neighbor from 1962 to 1975 at Sriniwaspuri, South Delhi will remain alive in my heart for ever. Aunty your motherly love and care for ALL was the gift of GOD bestowed upon you. A pious soul like you no doubt has to be in the feet of WAHEGURU.

    So true! Delhi will never be the same without Dadi. Our family will not be the same either. I miss having evening tea with biscuits at Dadi and Daddy’s house. I also miss her kisses and hugs and blessings, and her WhatsApp messages. She will always have a special place in our hearts.
