Today is Mother's Day and the death anniversary of my Grandmother. Time has passed so quickly...its been 8 years since your death...
I still remember how I called you before my every exams or any exciting day and asked for your prayers knowingly that u prayed all the time. Time was so beautiful, whenever i came back from school or college and found you at my home, I jumped with happiness and u smiled and smiled.... I know I often teased you too as I used to hide your spectacles after hearing your plan of leaving, i was so stubborn. I was not child then but yet I loved to sleep with you and heard stories from you. I always waited for you every Sunday as you promised to arrive then, but sometimes you didn't then i called you and got angry and you always moved my heart with your sweet Punjabi language tone.
Time really stopped not just after hearing the news of your death but even before hearing it. I was feeling something very hard in my heart when I was on my way to college. I was continuously watching my wrist watch as time was stuck somewhere and i was trying to move it ahead. I was looking from sky to earth in a restless way, may be that was the time when u were breathing last....... That was the day when I got my first scholarship and was about to celebrate it with my friends in college, we were all sitting around canteens table, gossiping and relishing that I received a news of your death, I told no one and rushed back.......
Not to talk about my sorrow, I see in the eyes of my father and feel your absence there. I want to celebrate Mother's Day as everyone is doing so around me but i cant as my father has lost his mother on the same day...
So many changes came in this life till then. I have lost so many things and gotten so many in return. You always desired to see me successful and your every child. I wish you are alive today and would realize how rapidly your prayers came true.
