8^th September

A normal day in most of our lives, including mine. Sukhpreet , my friend asked me this morning, what plan. Pat came my reply, that  its regular as any other day.

Now i wonder, is it really the same? Should it be the same?

As my mind struggles to the answer, I get a revelation...........

I am telling myself that today is a part of my routine, as there is comfort in the familiar. To acknowledge that today is a day of significance would be to reopen a badly healed wound.

It is 8 years today to Ketu’s passing away.


I would like today to merge into the rest of the days as i have let it happen for so many years.
But if I did that it will lose significance and one day, lose its existence. it will even cease to be a memory.

 The pain of absence needs to be converted into the joy of remembrance. A celebration of what was!

Today is a place me and the kids have arrived at, on a journey started by ketu and me, along a path chosen by us. He has been a guiding force at a lot junctions in my life, and the decisions which I thought were unilateral, were not so in reality. The nine years we spent together have been a big influence in my life.

Ketu was a loving, sensitive and an intelligent man. He lived his life to its fullest and believed in dying young, like his idols Jim Morrison and Kurt Cobain. Maybe he was intiutive about his destiny.

Hope he is at peace wherever he is.

Cheers to Ketu! Cheers to Life!
