A treasure chest acquired without a treasure hunt, that's what this blog is about......
Many have commented a number of times on my "luck"....Very true indeed....I am very very lucky..... I have never had to work too hard to reach where I am today..... The same "Lady Luck" has favored me in acquiring this treasure trove....
Just in case you are thinking that I am drifting away from the main theme of this blog....... No dear, I am not. This treasure chest is very much a person who has played and is still playing a very important role in my LIFE.
This person has an enormous wealth of love, affection, humour, emotions, dedication.....phew!!!!....the list seems to go on and on..... Her wealth makes me realise how poor and wretched I am......
SHE is a person who gives out her love to others in leaps and bounds. Her affection knows no boundaries. Her emotions always flow freely. Her advices and experiences are as vast as the universe for me. Right from my childhood, I have always pestered her with my countless stupid yet eager questions........ and as far as I remember, there hasn't been a single instance where I haven't received a perfectly convincing answer. I don't know how she used to answer all my questions and most importantly "convince me" (which I tell you is not an easy task).
She is one of the persons who has always been by my side and has kept on urging me to move ahead in life...... Her constant reprimands have always been an indicator of the love and affection she has for me. She has always emphasised on living life the way you want to, only then will you be happy in life. But I must also say that she is a person who loves maintaining schedules and gets very frustrated with with my erratic time schedules. She has acquired this love for strict regimes from her Late Husband (a former military personnel) and unfortunately or fortunately none of their children have inherited this...... :)
Her countless stories of how she managed to raise 3 children with loads and loads of difficulties makes me realise how much ignorant I am to the miseries of the world..... Those stories have inspired me in ways unknown.... The look of pride on her face has always been a motivation for me to strive further ahead....
I know that the amount of love that she has showered upon me can never be matched with the love and respect I have for her, still I want to tell her that I really really love her and long to be beside her always. I know she awaits my visit eagerly but will never say so. Just want to say I am always near her and thinking about her. She is a constant in all my prayers because she is an integral part of my life........
Wishing her the best of health.........
ur naani :) wonderful tribute!..
ReplyDeleteFeeling very well expressed, good piece of written work after lots of lazying around...
ReplyDeleteReally you can't ever think of matching the love and affection which grandparents shower on you, they are like that, unselfish in giving and expecting nothing in return...
Wishing good health for her from me too...
Chanced to come across this when I was prowling through the PG Wodehouse community out there.
