Your presence is always felt

Was quite disheartened with my poor preparations for mathematics paper in third standard annual exams while you rode me on our bicycle to the school. My nervousness w.r.t preparation was so visible that you stopped and said 'Tu adhich nako lendya galus rey' and explained the carry overs in multiplication n division in simpler terms. It is this habit of yours of making life simple for me without even asking, made you stand apart from all others. I always saw a good friend in you and enjoyed your company to the fullest. Our evening walk from Pawar chawl to godown was one of the most enjoyable evening walks i ever had i.e. clueless of where we are heading to (as i was very small then to understand it was a evening walk to the routine place) but still nice with feeling of being in secured company. The first time when i recollected these memories in college, i wished if i could give you that secured feeling someday but Baba left no stone unturned to do so at his level itself. No regrets, i was more than happy to know the kind of bonding you two had and i always knew you liked him more than anyone else.

Eternal peace is what i experienced while being with you. Your suggestion to read Dnyaneshwari was a turnaround in my life. It helped me shape the character in crucial days of life while shedding the egoism with ease. Yes, i agree with you, reading the same once is not enough. It is definitely not a one-time activity. You are one of the few whom i admired for the qualities like...impeccable concentration & sharp memory, dedication towards the undertaken task (have never seen you doing anything else until the task undertaken is complete...learning laghu Rudra in 4-5 days was gem of a effort and that too at age of 72-74 adds more glory to it), helping attitude , simple living , flawless routine (getting up at 3 am everyday..uh..am still trying to do it atleast once in a week but to no purpose) ,being in good health thorughout, for loving your mother truly and last but not the least for being totally independant

Lately, i was on my way to company (ex-employer L&T) ,while i saw you crossing the road nearby our place. I noticed the stoop in your back that your old age had developed. I felt pity for a second but then very next moment the fact struck my mind that you were still moving ahead ..independently...with confidence.... i wonder if me in your position would even have been able to walk.. with the kind of responsibilities you dealt in life (needless to say 'successfully') my back would have rather broke..i always feel proud of you

I could read the happiness in your eyes whenever you saw me. You used to make me feel so special. I really like the way you give me blessings after the Namaskar. Really used to feel them as they came straight from your heart which used to make my day further. I must confess that the pleasure was all mine in the whole process. I must also confess that your feet was the only place where i felt comfortable in the low's and i want to thank you from bottom of my heart for letting me sit there silently without a single question being asked. Sometimes that is the only thing we need, company of our dear ones without anything being asked. At times, i wondered how you could understand me so well? I thought, I'd miss you badly after you were gone but again the power of your blessings is so strong that your presence is always felt...Nana
