DeathInTheFamily.

|| No matter how much control we exercise over life...Death can not be tamed.

It comes and goes in silence and teaches us that somethings in life can not be won..

...sometimes, acceptance is the only thing to be aimed!! 

I write because I know no other way to grieve...and I know that words are not enough to fill the space.....

Rest In Peace is all what we can pray..

....I know you are in a much better place.. ||

I love you..

StayBlessed! 

The Daffodil

|| "I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze." 
                                   ~ William Wordsworth ||

....I whispered softly to myself as I witnessed "the daffodil" almost after ages.
I was not wandering over the vales and hills though!

Suddenly, the cacophony around dimmed and I could hear only my heart throbbing to the tune of nostalgia.


The age old concrete construction with its almost broken iron gate and faded ivory walls, did not lesson the shine of the marble engraving that says the name. It still gave out the same innocent vibes...and it was standing in front of me, the small bungalow with a small round balcony protruding out towards the main gate. Garden; now turned into unkempt wild-lings.

I dared to enter.
I didn't thought I would, when I started my holiday-special evening strolls.
This time when I went home for the summers I didn't realize I would be attracted to a long gone part of my childhood.

I saw the window where our eyes met;

....a little boy, he was of our age probably, looked out through that window and with the most adorable smile, used to wave at us. 
And sitting by the window of our school bus we (my friend and I), used to look forward to those few seconds of waving, which quickly became the highlights of our daily school trips through out our Third and Fourth grade..
One day he came out at the gate and threw us a packet of chocolate; we never did give him anything.
Not a day went when he was not there to greet us, we returned the favor by having 100% attendance at school!

And we were responsible enough to let him know about our vacations by writing "vacation till 15th June" on a big paper and throwing it at him!!

During the vacations, my friend and I had planned to go and visit his house several times; the only problem was to convince our parents to let us visit someone's house whose name even was a mystery to us; there were times when they were convinced that we were making a person up just to get out of the house.

After the exam break, on the first day of Fifth grade, we realized that he was gone..and the worst part was the house was locked like there was no one anymore. Big locks were hanging from the main entrance and all the windows were closed!

It was like loosing someone of our own.
"how can he just go away without letting us know?", it was very hurtful.

Days passed, but after that day we didn't see any soul in or around that house.

Route of journey changed...Our lives changed...Time faded out the hurt....but kept the memory, which suddenly got triggered when I was standing there in front of that gate.
I tried to ask around about the whereabouts of the owner, but no one could surely say anything except it was now acquired by the government..
Who knows what happened to him? Who knows why he left?....
But that's the beauty of not knowing! He can be anywhere in the world now..Be anyone I like!
While I was returning, I realized that we work hard to put a name in every relationship now a days!...it seemed so petty!
......Thankfully it was innocent times....We never did care about name-calling!
It was Perfect!

#StayBlessed!
