Nani...You will be always there

I know when I tell ppl my grandmom is no longer there..and at the age of 78..it does not come as a shock..

But you have to know my context..

I lived with her from the age of two till i moved to high school..and even then whenever I used to come from vacations i used to live with her..She was like a buddy for me..used to watch Wimbledon (like all women..used to like Agassi), had seen Indian cricket for the last 50 yrs..had so many interesting stories from the Raj..

It still has not sunk in..It will when i go to Simla and do not find her sitting in the window smiling at the passer bys..The 100 Rs she always used to give me when I was coming back..the smile she used to have talking to my wife, she used to say I was her 3rd son..i hope i have lived up to her expectations..

I dont know..There are so many memories..she gave me a 90 years old cricket ball..once..she kept my dinky cars safe..she gave me a bongo to play..she made amazing achaars for me and always remembered what I loved to eat..she used to be at the entrance to welcome me whenever I came back..

I know things will never be the same..I miss u Nani... so much
