365 x 3

Time heals all wounds. But it cannot take away that sudden urge to dial a number still saved on the phone. To share a funny story. To seek a spot of advice. To clear a doubt. To hear a blessing. To recognise silent laughter over the airwaves. To spill all.

And I can never make an insipid adraki gobhi without wishing I'd asked for that recipe while there was still time.

Yeah, it's Dida. 10th Sept marks 3 years, but she collapsed on the 5th, a while after we spoke on the phone.

Thanks for the hugs :)

Dida, she lives. Granny-love never dies. Ever. That's the rule.

Hugs Annie. How have you been ? Loved this piece. Reminded me of exactly what I feel in Baba's absence. The advent of the Pujas makes it worse.
