Anand,
You found this letter so late because I never posted –  you were always so busy – at the office with work and at home with your sons and Mrinalini.
Ever since your baba left, I have been very lonely, with no one to share my stories and agonies with. Every Sunday I made your favourite snacks and waited, hoping against hope that you would come. But neither did you come, nor did your call.
Know this, whether in heaven or hell, I still love you and you’ll be my darling no matter what and will be looking over you always.
Maa

Writing to me is therapy, it frightens and comforts at the same time. Liberates like nothing else. A book in my own name is a dream, but a bigger dream would be to write something that haunts the reader even after the last page is turned and the book is shut. I enjoy reading and music, spending time with family whilst battling my social awkwardness.

hmmm
old age and loneliness is some thing which always scares me
I know.. but it is a phase most of us have to go through…
DQ DQ DQ! But v touching post DQ
Thankooo 😀 😀
I am going through loneliness at the moment, age? well I am getting on but feel young at heart.
Yvonne.
Age is just a number after all 🙂
Oh! It is so sad when children get busy in their own lives and forget all about the parents!! And they just keep hoping for that call or that knock on the door…
Lovely take on the prompt, Bhavya!
Thank you. Children these days dont seem to find any time at all… 🙁
My heart hurts to read this Bhavya. Lovely post. Cheers! Vidya
I guess that means I was successful in conveying it to you. Thank you
lovely!
Thank you
Bhavya’s latest…A Fistful of Rose Petals
Ever so sad, even more so because it’s so real, Bhavya!
I know, the agony is so real and all around us
So beautiful yet so sad. Its exactly what is expected of Bhavya…good one!
Aww.. thank you 🙂
Loneliness is the decease every elder is scared of. Nice write.
Wow.. you summed it up in one line..
You have expressed the true sentiments and emotions of the elderly people. If parents have children and yet feel lonely, the children are loosing a great opportunity of being with their parents. The value of parents is known to those who have lost them being busy.
Yes of course Sir. After all, the value of something is felt more once it is lost.
My….very touching.
Thank you!
beutiful writng… but i hate this feeling when parents are sad!… and that too because of their children!
Poignant !
This hit home.
It’s heart-wrenching to think of the lonely parent! I feel like I should do more than just a weekly phone call! :/
it’s sad how, so many old people are now left to fend for themselves.
Hi Bhavya this is very soul stirring. The sentiments exppressed by the mother are heart rending.
This is a reality for so many. But someday they go through it too – karma eventually catches up with all of us. Very touching post.
Very rightly said. They need to break the vicious circle, or go through it themselves.
Very touching post! Living close to an old age home, I can easily understand the emotions of those people who are left to live in loneliness and depression as they get old.
It is really sad 🙁
