Not at all sweet 16 years since AK’s unexpected demise. To this day her smiling face is what stands in front of my blurry eyes. My vision has not been great in the past few months, so I can see more clearly when I shut my eyes than when I open them. One of the visions that comes back time and again is Clerk’s Deaf and Dumb school and that Diwali when I fell for her. For such an angel to be taken away from her kids an family so young is cruel but then who are we to hatch any plans.It is decided and we walk the path set for us and there’s nothing we can do to change the script. For me, this is a girl that made me smile. She is one who I commiserated with having returned from the Gulf, finding ourselves in a new city. Girls are mature compared to guys and they care. She certainly did and I needed it. But a few of us know why some moments are called precious. They increase in value over some time manifold the duration of those moments. I met her every day for 3 years, but I have remembered her for over 26 after then, 16 of which have been unbelievably in her absence. Unable to forget, even the sweet memories are painful. Rest in Peace my dear A.K. and I can’t say it or write it, but you know it.
