CW : #Death
It's 13 days since my #father passed away unexpectedly. A very important day in terms of religious ceremonies in #Hinduism. A day to celebrate and #remember the person. In some ways, as positive a day as it is possible given the circumstances. #memories#parent
On this day, I wanted to share a light hearted #story.
My #father used to travel to Bombay (now #Mumbai) by air. It is over 1000 kms from our city. He would normally take his bicycle, park it in a garage, take a train to the airport to catch his flight. #parent
The return would be the same way.
As I saw him go and come back in his bicycle,I would tell everyone that my #father goes to Bombay and back in his bicycle! 😂😂😂 #parent#memory
In a strange coincidence, I travelled via #mumbai airport on my return to NL this time. The first time ever in my life! #memory#father

It's my #birthday today. Also happens to be the day where my father's monthly ritual in the first year falls on. We decided to not celebrate this year.
However, on the spirit of birthday, wanted to share an anecdote that is a bit light and funny #memories
🧵
I always knew that my #father named me. However, I did not know (or forgot) why. My mother told me about this when we were reminiscing about him.
My father studied at AM Jain, Loyola and MIT, Chrompet
I believe played tennis for the college teams. He was also captain in one of the places.
After graduating from Loyola, he once went back there and in a conversation with the PT master/tennis coach, he was told that there are two new boys who are playing well.
