I don’t know how one person can change your entire presumption towards life. But she did, and I am so glad I met her. A small, yet amazing personality, filled with life and the amount of josh and excitement she injects in you in wonderful. A charm spreader, a wonderful mother, an even better grand mother, she is one of a kind. She rambles on about life with hope and shares her experiences, the first time you meet her! The first day I met her, I realized she had so much to teach all of us. The yearn to fill us in about life could be seen in her eyes. A short, thin person with aged white hair, small but deep eyes, she struck me as a mystery from day one. Random stuff about music she spoke when we went to meet her grand daughter, the first time. Since then her random conversations has only grown, but it took me only a few meetings to realize that those random words had deep, deep meaning and experience to it.
From losing his husband when she was 21, to battling cancer, her will power saw her through. She worked at the meteorological department and raised her children with passion and motherly care. As a grand mother too, her care never diminished. Till date I never am able to understand how God had the cruel thought to put her through the greatest torture a mankind could ever suffer, cancer. Yet, she fought it, with her strong will power. She survived it. She spread her charm once again, this time, a little bit more fiercely, that it spread into my very existence. I look up to her as a person who has lived and cherished every moment of life, a person who is and who can guide us through all walks of life, a person who knows it all. To me, she is God, to me, she is an Angel.
She took us to the meteorological department, her grand daughter and me, to show us how it works. She spoke to her ex colleague, “we hold our grand children’s hands when they are kids. They are holding our hands now. This is the circle of life.” She again struck me as someone deep and pure.
The virus of life (cancer) decided to knock on her door again. She, the embodiment of Life, is put to test again. I know with all my heart that she will make it this time too. My prayers are always with you Ajji.
A token of love,
From,
your grand daughter
P.S : I want to be your grand daughter too Ajji.
