We will meet again

A year has gone by.. and we all have missed you every day.. every moment…

Life is not the same anymore… but your memories do give us a reason to smile and laugh, we often talk of our happy old days and remember those small incidents and have a good laugh and for some time, we forget that you are not there with us… like your nephew says.. just close your eyes and you can see bobo mamu and you can talk to him and he often does that… he tells mom, nani why you are crying.. u are crying for bobo mamu, but bobo mamu has become a god now.. so why you need to cry.. and he would join mom in chanting the slokas and bhajan.

Your little nephew has suddenly become big and so understanding. It was tough to make him understand, and his queries about his bobo mamu used to make me feel more bad… but now he realizes and he understands and we both often talk about you, he has some fond memories of you and every night we pray to god, we pray to you, for him you are a god now and you have become a bright star which twinkles @ night. When we go for our walks, he would often point to the brightest star in the sky and say.. mamma see.. mamu is there, walking with us.. looking at us.. I had often read about such incidents in stories and seen in movies … and now it was the same thing happening to me..but that’s how kids are J

I am sure Bob would have surely loved the song emotional atyachar.. as that is what he used to say to three of us during his childhood.. he would say.. di, you three always do emotional blackmail to me. We used to keep asking him, tell us.. whom do you love more..and he would be in a dilemma.. and he would reply.. I love all three of you equally…no more, no less… it was such fun to spend our summer vacation having chess tournaments at home and most of the time the finals would be between bob and dad.. and there were a few times when he did win and would keep talking about his moves… bob I remember how you were trying to teach chess to Urjit this time also… and he was learning with his Mamu.. how to move the horse making an L shape.. how patient you were with him.. I wonder sometimes..and I really feel, that Urjit was so lucky to have you in his life..though it was short.. he treasures your last painting which you did for him.. whenever we talk of patterns..he says… yes bobo mamu taught me what patterns are…whenever he hears the song from tashan movie.. he shouts.. hey that’s bobo mamu’s song as he heard that music for the first time from your animation video… he remembers your last swimming session together when you were not ready and you said… gutoor, I have not got my swimming costume and he replied.. you borrow from papa today.. but you have to swim with me..  :), he also remembers how he was playing with your rat toy and how you hid it as you did not want him to spoil that precious gift….

All those fun games, memory games which we used to play together… when I sit to play the crossword with Urjit, it brings back memories of you, our carom sessions, card sessions… and then how we both used to sit together and try to retouch photos using photoshop… when we were in school and you were just a 1.5 year old, we had taken you to our school and all three of us were fighting and had fixed our time slots as we were so interested in showing off our cute brother to our friends and teachers… friends who always used to get an extra chocolate and toffee just for you..the cute chubby bobbo..

You were such a wonderful person and you learnt your lessons of this life.. this birth.. so quickly… but we are still learning… now, when I think back, I realize you were indeed different from others, so good and caring, so carefree… always smiling… never worrying about future.. living for the moment and that is what you told to mom when you were leaving home.. mamma don’t worry.. don’t take tension…

Brother we are also learning to be like you…. and If there is any truth in the theory of rebirths, then I am sure.. we will be together again for sure… that’s my belief!! 

Remembering you!

Remembrance is a golden chain
Death tries to break,
but all in vain.
To have, to love, and then to part
Is the greatest sorrow of one’s heart.
The years may wipe out many things
But some they wipe out never.
Like memories of those happy times
When we were all together.

We thought of you today
But that is nothing new
We thought of you yesterday
And will tomorrow too
We think of you in silence
And make no outward show
For what it meant to lose you
Only those who love you know
Remembering you is easy
We do it everyday
Its the heartache of losing you
That will never go away

Bobbo, we all miss you each and every moment.

Leave message for Bobbo.

We will meet again…. - Asha
