#TextToDad

By -

When I was in college, I sent my dad a text message as I was too ashamed to say sorry to him in person. One day while checking his new phone, I stumbled upon it. He has changed his phone endless times, but he still has that message. I guess, it's stored in the SIM. Today when he said he is not well. I recalled all those little fights that made our father-daughter relationship strong. And, my heart weak with love for him. Love you, dad. Get well soon!

    Relationship between father and daughter is very precious. Daughters are always princesses to a father and father is an evergreen hero to daughters.
    Wish your father speedy recovery

    That's so sweet...knowingly or unknowingly he retains it special memories. Dads, unlike mom aren't much vocal or expressive about their emotions. But once the daughter gets married, dads miss the daughters more for the "raunak" they carry with them. My wishes with uncle, may he get well soon.

    Father daughter relationship is always so special.Long back when my dear father was alive,i along with my family went to Chandigarh to see my parents. However, I's surprised to see dad unwell and resting in the bed. I stayed there for two days and i can't figure out how he recovered so fast. I think it's the true bonding of love,which worked magic.

Rewind - September 2023

 I wrote the following in September. Sometimes, I feel I will forget the art of writing couplets because I am not writing at all this year. I strongly believe you have to practice to hone your craft. And I am not doing that. Perhaps I schedule a time to write a poem. Or I need better time management skills. Date Published 09/05/2023 मुझे उसके जाने का इतना अफ़सोस नहीं हुआ  जितना इस बात का कि इतने सालों तक उसे रहने ही क्यों दिया  Love, Saru

I Am Not Alone

Last year blessed me, He walked silently into my life. It was Love, That took me in its stride. One evening we walked holding hands, Then, I told him what I felt in heart. He said we were one soul, Who were living in parts. To bring the parts together, We fought with the world and tied the knot. Being one soul, Gave life a whole new spot. Chirping birds, floating clouds, Nature conspired for us. Always swimming against the tide, Life was in an adrenaline rush. This year cursed me, He walked silently out of my life. It was Death, That took him in its stride.       Yesterday his soul was saying, Fearing memories will fade, he can’t move on. He will stay and admire me, Standing always by my side from dusk to dawn.
