Tryst with God and all God-related questions continue.
Gudiya has also joined the God-questioning brigade now. She asks questions like - God ka ghar kahan hai?
They are slowing coming to terms with the fact that while Nani is with God yet she is among us - can hear us, sends her love to us, can see us, if we want we can talk to her. So, with the dawn of all this realization, Nani is now back to our living room. Yesterday, Kathir and Gudiya helped me clear out the God shelf and settle Nani in a place where we can see her and she can see us more easily.
Couple of times, the kids ran up to her photograph and shared their secrets. In the morning today, Kathir wished her a warm good morning, Gudiya followed suit. Both glowed seeing Nani's smiling face.
Kids continue to dream about her. Kathir says he dreams of Nani everyday. Few days back Nani took him to the playarea, played with him and then asked Dadi to fill in while she went to attend some work. Gudiya says Nani sings to her and she in turn sang for Nani.
Yesterday, Kathir had a chat with Nani and said gleefully that Nani will be back very soon! Thats what Nani has promised him. Gudiya adds happily that Nani ab bilkul theek ho gayi hai aur God ke ghar se wapas ajaayegi.
Kathir was eating prasad from the temple yesterday and asks - Will Panditji also have an ending one day? I asked what? Will Panditji also go away one day, he repeats delicately. I said yes, everyone would. Then a new Panditji will take over? Yes, possibly I said. Somewhere Kathir is trying to grasp the delicate truth about nature - things are born, they live and then they go away. I am not sure if this saddens him or leaves an impression on his mind - but he seems to try to fit this concept with everything around him.
My conversations with mom continues. She wants to be in a place where she can see us all - all the time. So there she is! I am yet to build my picture wall with the collection of pics from down the memory lane.
Kathir and Gudiya are very excited about going to Bangalore - get our Dadu back and meet Anwesha!
