| In the morning, went to the crematorium for Dad's ashes. Then spread them on the plants at Lahe Lahe. In the evening, had a prayer meeting. Lots of friends attended, on Zoom and in person. Was warm and loving. |
| In my grief, I am grateful for the understanding people around me. Thank you, Daddy. Thank you Mummy. Both of you are together with God now. Thank you, my family and friends for being so understanding. All Words: 36 |
| My Dad. Arun Bhatia. Born 2 - 2 - 1935. Died 14th November 2023. Children's Day!! What a lovely day for you to go, Abba! I hope you enjoyed my rendition of the Gujarati song 'Ochintu Koi Mane' at your cremation. I love you. Tell Mom I love her. |
| The word Dreamland takes me to Dreamland!! As a child on holiday at a hill station, have had a LOT of meals over the years at HOTEL DREAMLAND! |
It's like glass half empty or half full. Or full - half of water, half of air. So - is it 'there are roses, nonetheless there are thorns' OR 'There are thorns - nonetheless, there are roses' ... ? It all depends on your perspective! Words: 40 |
| Yesterday there was a Diwali Puja (prayer) at Lahe Lahe (where I do my Harry Potter events). Only the Lahe Lahe team, was present, aside from one of their mothers and me. I felt honoured to be included. We had lunch then did the prayer, which was with a sacred fire and lasted about 45 minutes. All of us took it in turns to do the 'Aarti" at the end. We had lunch and a snack. I LOVED IT. It felt warm and family-like. I was surrounded by love, comfort and support. |
In 1993, a TV commercial Dad acted in was aired between overs during the Cricket World Cup. He started being recognised in the street. Strangers held their umbrella over him when it rained. He's had his share of fame!  Words: 39 |
| It's incredible the difference attitude can make. When I ask myself 'what is there to be grateful about in this situation', my attitude changes and I see the blessing instead of the annoyance! Words: 33 |
| Unmarried and without kids of my own - what will my legacy be? The joy of reading, for a student? The hobby of collecting post marks? The meticulousness of preparing for a workshop? Intangible legacies, all, but important I hope. Words: 39 |
| I'm looking forward to meeting my counsellor again, after a gap of 5 years. She had helped me cope with the PTSD after multiple eye surgeries. Now I need to speak to her about the overwhelmed feeling of being solely responsible for an 88 year old Dad, and of the fear of being alone once Dad dies. Oh, there's nothing 'terribly' wrong. Dad is fine, except for his mobility. He watches movies on Netflix and emails people and attends online classes and stuff. But he's eighty-eight and aging, and it's an effort for him to keep going. I'm single and I have no siblings. We lost Mom in Dec 2006, so it's just Dad and me. We have good paid help, but it's not the same. We have very supportive extended family, but they're not in the same city. So I feel overwhelmed and need to talk to someone. Thus I decided to reconnect with my counsellor. Meeting her this afternoon. Hope it goes well. |
