In Loving Memory of Dearest DETU....!!




I close my eyes, only to realize suddenly...............
Detu left for heavenly abode unexpectedly.
Keeping my calm, for Maa's sake
Remembering 14th February 2013, midnight celebrations with your last BIRTHDAY cake.
One who taught me "OTIKOI SENEHOR MUGAARE MOHURAA" & nursery rhymes
Protecting me always from negative forces and crimes.
Getting me my favourite 'Chicken Manchurian' being a total foodie himself.
Encouraging me at every step and emphasizing always to be true to oneself.
Playing "mama Dula-Fesu Dula" in his loving arms
Laughing loudly and making fun of me when i used to keep 9 am alarm.
Since my childhood, you always expressed great desire for me to study Medical
But i convinced you that is beyond my interest though the field of study is incredible.
Behind my every single DREAM come true, it's YOU
Be luxurious Boarding school, overseas best of Education, DEUTA i owe you.
My heartfelt apologies and SORRY
As i failed to fulfill your lifetime last wish "KANYADAAN" glory :-(
Though i did make an honest attempt
Forgetting all the rules, simply tried hard being an exception
Only to acknowledge bitter fact in gist
Life actually happens when we think least.
My heart is aching as i am penning this,
Amidst banks of River Brahmaputra and remembering last GoodBye kiss.
Irony, that i can see at the Pind Ghaat, MAHADEV SHIV's idol
Nostalgic thinking your Shivratri fast and offering Belpatta and jal.
I have always asked this question within, "What is True Love"?
Finally got the right answer in front of my own eyes.
My mom's true devotion, love and sacrifice for you............
Yet not fair, DEUTA, in middle of nowhere you simply left us :-(
I totally understand , last six months, you were in great pain
Got abundant strength having doubtfree Faith & Daishonin's Buddhist Philosophy beyond earthly gain.
But rest assured, you had a very peaceful journey though your body temperature cold
Indicating "Basanti Puja" aarti while doing last rites & Mukh Agni, noble soul you were having heart of gold.
I made sole promise to take care of Maa ahead at your Cheetah agni
Your physical absence will be greatly felt on my future D day and maangni.
That grief shall always stay within forever.
Your GEET is in deep pain and not even my "Aditya Kashyap" can console me on this ever....!!
~ REST IN PEACE (RIP)

P.S. - Composed this poem in on 26th April 2013, honour of my father on banks of river BRAHMAPUTRA on 10th day (Doha) at the Pind Ghaat wherein we did last rites for his soul to rest in peace. He was a jolly funloving happy go lucky, gifted sportsman, total foodie and true Rajesh Khanna fan and in nutshell-epitome of living life to the fullest!!
Words can't describe how much i miss u :-( i think most painful journey for me being a true poet at heart admist Brahmaputra riverside remembering the soul responsible for my upbringing and everything-reason of my very existence !! Love You Loads. Sumu Disu..................xoxo
