Dear dad..

Dear Dad,
It's been exactly a month, since you left us physically.
One of the most traumatizing, depressing month for me.
I'm still unable to sink with the fact that you are no more with us.
I still think you are a call away, to fill that positivity in me, whenever I feel low.
You are the best dad in the whole world. I mean it.
And am "the" luckiest person to be born as your daughter.
I wish you were here, with us.
We miss you a lot.
We miss you each and every second of our lives.
Am sure you must be making everybody laugh wherever you are.
You carved our lives like it was your own.
You never said a single negative thing about anybody.
Your way of living inspires us to lead our remaining lives.
You left a foot print in each and everybody's lives whom you came across.
I would sacrifice anything to bring you back to life.
It's heartbreaking, that I could only meet you in my dreams now.
Even today you were in my dream.
It's painful after I wake up.
I would want to go back to sleep to meet you.
Life's ups and downs are on one side,
This loss is on the other side,
It's huge, larger than life, and unrepairable.
I lost an important part of me, which am never going to get back.
I promise you, I will make you proud.
You are my hero.
Love you daddy.
I'll wait for you..

One Summer Afternoon !!

Today, I was listening to my favourite music,
And, was walking in my balcony,
I saw an old man carrying a bag, 
Walking bare feet with the help of a stick, 
And holding a wall clock in one hand.
It's a sunny day, and was very hot,
I noticed he was not asking anything, from anybody,
I removed my head phones,
Went inside, grabbed some change from my wallet,
Wore my slippers and came out,
By the time, I came out,
He almost crossed our lane,
I ran towards him,
I said "thatha" (means grandfather in Telugu),
He stopped and looked back,
I asked "where are you going?",
He said nothing.
I told him "we dint cook anything yet",
And, I gave him the money, that I carried,
He smiled and took it,
I asked him "why are you carrying this clock?"
He said "one man gave me to put a cell in it, he said it will work"
I was shocked at his innocence,
And was wondering about that man,
What will a hungry stomach and bare feet will do with a wall clock on a summer afternoon?!
I looked at his feet, 
Then at my slippers,
I asked him,
Will my slippers fit your feet?
He said "if you give, I will take it for my wife",
I gave my slippers to him,
He put them carefully into his bag,
Said " God bless you".
And walked away with a smile on his face,
I turned and walked towards my home bare feet.
It was very hot,
Still my feet dint feel the heat nor the stones on the road,
I came inside my room and sat there and sobbed for some time.
I have no idea, why I cried.
I always missed my grandparents,
I never had a chance to spend time with them,
My maternal and paternal grandparents died, when I was months old,
So I don't even remember the time, I had spent with them.
I stare at their photos now and then,
And think, why you had to leave so early?
May be that's the reason why I sobbed after I came back to my room today.
"I miss my grand parents".
Yes, I have been, and will, all my life, I guess.
