An Obituary to Balu

An
Obituary to Balu

My first encounter with
my father in law occurred on a beautiful day in May 1984. He wanted
an assurance from me and he accepted it in silence.

We developed a
beautiful relationship over the years as we went through many
problems. No. They were not problems. They were experiences.
Experiences which god gave us for whatever we deserved.

He had a beautiful
background, learnt throughout his life , the Vedas and the Upanishads
et all. He carried a halo with pride. Commendable was his love
towards his wife to whom he gave himself.

The end came to him to
his liking and he did not bother anyone. He slept to death. In the
hindsight did I pain him ? Only future can tell.
