My eyes opened to hear steel plates clanging on the wooden edge of the bed. I sat up on the bed and saw that my younger cousin whose name is Prathiti was playing with steel plates. This is almost an everyday thing. I convinced her to stop the noise but instead, she started crying and she ran to my aunt. Prathiti is the type of 3 year old that when you shout at her she starts crying immediately Now that you know the story of my younger cousin Prathiti there’s another child but he is no better than Prathiti. I got off the bed and started brushing my teeth. ARUSH! My mom shouted. I ran to the living room where the shout came from. There I saw broken glass and standing next to it was my brother Arush. Every hour Arush spills or breaks something no matter what. Now Arush is a different story than Prathiti. If you shout or hit him, he hits you back. He’s just 4 years old but really mean. Even though I’m 6-7 years older they just kill me. I have a few friends in India so I decided to play with them. I came back just in time for dinner. After my dinner, I heard a weird crying from the living room. It turned out that my mom was crying. This brings us to a very important issue and the reason why I’m in India. You see my mom’s dad died. It’s a sour thing I don’t like to talk about considering the fact he’s done a lot for me but it is also important to talk about him considering the fact that he is one of the most versatile human being I have ever seen in my Life. My grandpa is a very generous, nice, and a creative man. He is man with tremendous patience who loved kids and loved to work with them. A man with a very big heart who had time for every person he is acquainted with. His superb creativity is what enticed people around. On the whole he is the most delightful person who was loved by kith and kin alike.
Indeed, he developed the colony that he lived in. he almost planted every single plant in the colony. He is friends with every neighbor irrespective of the age. Basically as my mom puts it, my age and my word knowledge to describe him is simply not sufficient. To put it simple, in my words he is an epic grandpa.
With him gone the heart of the family is gone. Basically, the three grandchildren the above two that I mentioned and I aren’t going to change much. But the world for three people, my mom, my aunt and especially my grandma is going to change tremendously. I don’t know how but I just know it.
Epic grandpa indeed ! We all would miss him Ronit, and im sure so would you, when you grow up a little more :)
ReplyDeleteRegarding Prathiti and Arush, welcome to the part in life where kids seem to irritate us sometimes, though we know we were there too at some point in time :)
