Ramesh Jagtiani - A moving poem written when a friend's father passed away - a caring gentleman who was a source of delight to his friends and community
Written on All Soul's Day after a visit to my father's grave. For grieving families everywhere.
Written as I painfully miss my dad and want to have him back so we can both "serve humanity" as we individually strove to do so.
For my parents - "So fragile our dreams when we know not the way... Today, I am cleansed and freed of a self neglecting past"
When losing a parent, we hit a new low and our feelings get all jammed up. How will this raw grief bring about a catharsis for us?
Pandu - I often think of this noble soul who orchestratd the highs of many a person and team.
For a dear friend upong the loss of his uncle... Triggered a powerful emotion and thought for all the people we love and the longing to be reunited with them.
As my friend marks her mothers first death anniversary, written in the first person with immense feeling
For another friend who misses his father and thinks of his own mortality, realizing the "the best part of life Is over"
For Reuben, Sandeep and Harry on the death of their friend Manish Aneja, written from the view of the poet, addressing the dear departed.
