Tributes to Abbi

MushkileiN to hamaarey parents ke time meiN bhi thiiN , aur unn se pehlay waali generation bhi koi perfect duniya meiN nahi ji rahey thay

Lekin unhoN ne apne kirdaar ki taaqat aur imaandaari ke saath hum ko zindgi ki khoobsoorti dikhaai 

Mohabbat ki zubaan sikhaayi 

Chhoti chhoti khushiyoN ki ahmiyat samjhaayi  

Ghar ki Maa-betiyoN-bahuoN ke dupattey chaahey jitney bhi lehraaeiN lekin sarkeiN kabhi nahi 

Zubaan meiN har waqt mithaas naa ho koi baat nahi lekin tehziib ki kami kabhi naa aaney paaye 

School / College meiN hum ne kuchh bhi padha ho ... lekin hum ko shaaeri , mausiqui , literature se rubaru hamaarey parents ne karayaa ... they made sure we value and contribute to the beautiful composite culture of our country 

Aaj ke iss kadvey-kasailey daur meiN to aur bhi zaroori ho jataa hai ke hum apne bachchoN ki shanasaai life ke inn khoobsoorat raNgon se karaaeiN jo hum ko viraasat meiN apne waaldain se miley haiN 

That's the best tribute we can offer to our parents , remembering my father on his birth(day) anniversary , and among so many memories , I ll share one when he made me feel very special and loved as he gifted me a Bush transistor for passing my class five exam with good marks

Some more memories ... 

A day before the world will celebrate Father's Day , I am celebrating my late father ... wishing him a very happy birthday ... 🎂🎂🎂

Kuchh yaadeiN tazaa kar leiN ... 💐💐💐

In July 2017 we had gone to Bhivpuri , a beautiful lush green place near Karjat , where my father was posted many years back 

The 2017 visit was mainly to enjoy the mountains and the rain , and also experience the gushing flow of water on our bodies sitting under the breathtaking waterfalls that spring up in the quiet of the jungle during monsoon 

As we set out , we noticed a dog tagging along 

He had appeared as if from nowhere 

And stayed with us through the entire outing , disappearing as "magically" (as it had appeared ) when we reached the guest house where we were staying 

Reminds me of a dog that used to follow my father like an escort from one end of Bhivpuri Tata Camp where our house was , to the extreme other end , may be a kilometer or so away , where the Hydro Electricity Generating Power House was :-)

This dog was not our pet 

It had come on its own 

And it never missed a single day escorting my father ( from home to work and work to home )

Heart warming Memories of another Era

When Father's Day coincided with Abbi's birth anniversary ... 

Deepest respects and Salaam to our fathers , who may have lacked in expressing the measure of their love for us , and often seemed harsh and angry with us .... but, that was their extreme love for us and their concern for our well being ... 

They worked hard not just to give us a comfortable life , but also to show us through their deeds and actions the right way to a better living ... 

We enjoyed a carefree childhood because they were around to take care of everything we needed ....
