Dearest Bhau, 

Yet Another year has gone by…. 

You will be really happy to know that we all connected today over a zoom call initiated by Shubhada tai. Aai sang a beautiful bhajan in the beginning and we all were  reminiscing over memories about your creative skills in music, drama, your social skills, your love for travel, cooking and many such fond memories. 

Shubhada tai played many of your favorite songs sung by some of your favorite artists. Sharmilee shared the meaning of Atharva Shirsha,  which she has been reciting regularly, like you used to.  Kalindi atya and mama shared their memories and were remembering your enthusiasm during Ganesh Chaturthi and Gudi padwa. Sharwari tai was very emotional and shared her thoughts about her journey of self discovery.  Satyajit dada was reminiscing over the times you had spent with them at Muscat and Dubai. 

I shared the poem ‘If ‘ by Rudyard Kipling and was surprised to know that you had shared the same poem with Parikshit many years ago. 

You live on in our memories and in each one of us in different ways. Please continue to guide us and inspire us through each other ……

Lots of love

Shruti
