well its been a long time since u last saw a post here eh?? i have some news to share with u...
On 8th May 2008, my nanaji (maternal grand father) expired and left for heavenly abode..i was in chennai...he wasnt keeping well for sometime...i was aware that his condition was not too good that day..so dad n bro had to rush back from work in the morning itself..i wanted an update on his condition in the afternoon..so i called up around 2pm in the day and my mom picked up the phone and she was crying...so i knew what happened..dad told me that it had just happened as i was calling up...somehow i just finished my lunch..as it was already ordered by my colleagues.....
spoke to my HR person..requested for leave for a few days and came back home that night...i couldnt make it for the cremation in the evening...as no flight was available that would have gotten me home by that time..i reached home late at night...and spent some time with mom and nani (maternal grandma)...consoled them....no one could sleep well that night..the hardest hit by that is my nani..looking after him was one of the most important tasks for her life...there will be a huge void for her now...
next day..i went for completing all the ceremonies..like collecting the ashes after the cremation...and then submerging them in the Yamuna (the river)...it was all pretty emotional....but one thing that was good was that it was a peaceful end...he lived a great life...very successful..very lively..very energetic... for all of us in my family...we know that "HE CAME..HE SAW and HE CONQUERED"....
we had kept a paath (recital of the Guru Granth Sahib)...for the well being of his soul on friday and it concluded today (it takes 2 full days to read the entire Guru Granth Sahib)...with the langar (community meal)..
May his soul rest in peace...AMEN!!
@i have to head back to my job tonight..will be going to Hyderabad...lets see how things turn up there..
cya guys soon!!

Maverick, my heart and prayers are with you and your family. I'm sorry for your loss. It's a heartwrenching time. Can you tell us your favorite stories about your grandfather at some later date?
Like one time my Uncle Walter, who has passed away, leaned on the Thanksgiving table and tipped the whole meal on himself. :D That's a fav story of ours we pass down the line. We always share fond memories during the holidays and it keeps our loved ones with us.
{{{HUG!!!}}}
Love may change form but it never dies.
JJ
