Doomsday
It was 5th November 2011 ,Birthday celebration of
my aunt, family had gathered. There was joy, togetherness and happiness, all of
us had gathered after a really long time. She was happy to have each everyone
visit together, sharing this kind of happiness. She didn’t speak much that day
since sudden fever had caught her body making her a bit weak. The doctor
visited home, he said “She’s perfectly fine, it’s just mild fever. She survived
high blood pressure in June, fever is something much easier to fight. She will
live a 100 years.”
After hearing these confident words from the doctor,
everyone seem to be at ease until next day, 6th November,2011 around
6.30 am when she began breathing way heavier than normal. After rushing to the
hospital before anyone would even know, she was gone. Reaching the heaven
gates, seeing her family together made her smile. Perhaps making me,her grand
daughter look at 6th of
every month as a Doomsday. It
is ironical that as I type this obituary, my eye caught the date on the
computer screen,it’s 6th of March, 2014. It’s been 2 years and
4months since my maternal grandmother Indira Chetwani left us, smiling and
monitoring us from the heaven gates, the beautiful memories with her remain fresh.
