you would have been 75 today

but no, you went when you were 64...
you always were in a hurry, in a rush to get things done... you could not, after a bath wait for your meal to be served (but ate only a handful), you could not, after having gotten ready, wait to leave, if we had decided to go somewhere...
in a word, you could not, after having taken a decision, wait to compelete the job... but that was at the personal realm... with us...
in office too, from what we heard after you were gone, if you had decided something, it had to be done pronto, in a jiffy...
so possibly, once you decided, you just went and went for good, without even bothering to send us a warning, without allowing us to even call a doc...
i still hold that against you and will till the day i live...

I'm not sure if comments are a rather profane way of saying things. But then my heart goes out to this day 10 yrs ago. I didnt know u then,even had I known words would not have sufficed to soothe your grief.My sincere respects to the departed soul of whom now I know but a little.Amen

Deeply touched. This is what life is all about, people like your Dad or mine had always been on to the job, so God might have wanted them there to be on the job. Baba was 53when he was not there and it pains till now. It was a sunday and no docs. I do miss him in good times and bad times, in pain and in happiness. Love you Baba
