Thank you for all the wonderful memories I have of you and for being the best Father any person could have. Your beautiful smile and great advice is truly missed but not forgotten.

On this mother's day....

I have been thinking...we all know how much love ba gave us, how much she cared for us and for her it was all about us....
I was wandering, was there anytime in my life, that I felt ba was unfair to me or did not love me or did something to hurt me ? I do not find one single such incident in all my life...Did you guys find ba at fault at anytime in your life ? Can you belive that ? How could somebody be so nice all her life ? She was incredible...I thank God for making me her son and also making me realise her Greatness and Kindness.......

you will always be in our hearts, Ba

i still remember being little and asking Ba to tell me bedtime stories while i cuddled up next to her and fell asleep...one of my personal favorites is the one about Ram and Sita. she never missed out on any of the details of the stories and the way she related the stories made me feel peaceful and happy. i remember her asking me everyday about school and my life and trying to know more about me...an attempt to create a stronger grandma-granddaughter bond. i remember her laughing at my silly attempts to cheer her up when she was depressed. i remember her sitting next to Bapuji outside Rohit, giving him company. Living with her for 16 years of my life has given me lots of amazing memories to remember her by and today, two years since she has passed, i go back to these memories to seek acceptance and understanding for our loss. It is a void that will forever be in our hearts but i know that they are in a better place, closer to God.

i miss you alot Ba. I know you are watching over all of us and I want to thank you for that.

love you

Remembering Ba....

Ba was not just our beloved...

Everybody loved ba...all of our neighbours loved ba....

I remember when Amitbhai Joshi's grandmother was about to pass away, but she would not die, Amitbhai had said that ba need to see her, only saint like ba would be able to relieve her and help her leave this world..

Ba did not only love her daughters and sons or granddaughters and grandsons, but she simply loved everybody, whether related or not...Recently after bapuji passed away, Bhupatbhai ( Manubhai's brother, who used to work for us ) visited us and I asked ba if she recognized him, ba spontaneously said he was Bhupat, Manubhai's brother. She must have met him after 20 years.

When my brother in law or cousin brother in law would visit our house, ba would invariably remember their son's and daughter's name and would lovingly ask how they were doing. It was never a formality, she genuinely cared for all of them.

One of her greatest aspect of her was she was never fake, never pretending, so easy to see thru.
Do any of you remember her getting angry ? I remember years and years ago, when I gave her hard time at " Sakoni ", she beat me up..that was 48 years ago, since then I never recall her getting angry...

Ba loved picnic and eating out. Could not resist Lilu marchu, lasan chatney and sambharo....
Seeing those she was like a child.....would not refrain from these favorite stuff with some guilt.
Like a child she would help herself with her favourite dishes, even though Bharti frowned and said that doctor has asked her not to eat those.

She was always forgiving, did not have any ill filling for those who gave her very hard time....

Two years have passed by....we miss you ba.....
