Memories from the golden years of my life (19)

The mid semester examinations were over. Papa, mummy and Dhiraj ... all were coming to visit me. Mummy wanted to see me at any cost .. for obvious reasons and more so because of my foot illness. Well they came and I will talk about those memories later. But if I had to change something then I would have changed this ... all of them should not have come. Because chachu was alone at home. Though they were here for only 2 days and chachu was all right when they had come, one cant help what God has already planned for us. Chachu fell ill while they were here. Two days after they left, I got a call from papa in the morning that Chachu had passed away .. In a way I blamed myself for this because I had wanted all of them to come ... though papa had never wanted this. Look at God's way of doing things .... That day I did feel lonely, hurt, and extremely concerned about papa.

Now some people may call me selfish .... some may say that I am the most emotionless person they have ever seen ... but to be very frank .. the grief did not last long for me .... I did not miss chachu .. for two reasons ... one i was never too close to him .. and secondly because I wasnt even at home when all this happened ... I was just concerned about papa .... and thats it. Within 2 days my life was back to normal! .. and now when I look back .. I find it extremely strange .. This is a classic example of life at campus gulfing you in such a way that nothing else matter .. you leave everything behind you .. your family ..your friends .. .... Ye jagah hi aisi hai ... even a small thing that happens here .. matters a lot ... and anything away from it does not matter ....
