REMEMBERANCE...

It drizzles outside… and somewhere on a peaceful planet, the noise of the rain ebbs and flows with the rhythm of happy times entrapped in my lyrics of innocence.

A year later… as the day draws nearer, the ink in my pen decides to immortalize Her- not because She left the earthly confines a bit too early… not because the loss was so sudden and shattering that we all died a little death inside, in bits and pieces, that day… not because there remains a void along a beautiful road of fulfilled and unfulfilled dreams, spoken and unspoken words, said and unsaid desires, told and untold anecdotes… but because along this road, her was the journey of a woman with a clear conscience inside her bosom and who always wore her heart on her sleeve.

For Her, it never used to be about the silver coins but about the blessings that echoed with their jingles… Day-by-day and brick-by-brick, cementing them with compassion, while She carved out an existence larger than life and lived half a scoop more for each one of us; it sometimes belittles our own existence! When it came to choosing, I remember Her choosing for the betterment of everyone. Gracefully sweeping aside the everyday agonies and shortcomings behind those striking features, She would celebrate the goodness of life and enliven it with her love and spirit. She was a superwoman… glowing her brightest in the face of adversity… and growing from strength to strength. Unperturbed by the ugliness of humiliation and sarcasm, she would be seen finding her way to self-discovery for such was her audacity and unflinching faith in her deeds.

Memories- they flow effortlessly as I beckon them… struggling to materialize on a piece of paper for the tides are prodigious … but the lessons of life that She taught us will stay as priceless gems in our hearts…

AND SHE LIVES ON FOREVER…
