Agar Tum na hote…..

Dev, i am in a flight going home. The last 16 days i have travelled to many cities, towns and places, by walk, bus, car, ferry, catamarand and planes.

i attended wedding functions, danced, watched the most beautiful sunsets/sunrises, walked through historical museums and arenas, watched people blow away monies on material luxuries, met hundreds of people, spent time with my son, ate many kinds of exotic delicacies, saw worry on 1000s of faces when the war broke out, saw all types of people – the greedy, the arrogant, the misers, the poor, the rich, the kind, the sincere, the honest, the old, frail, young, children and new born too. Seen it all Dev.

Sahebji, in all those situations, experiences, meetings, environments and places the most memorable ones were with You.

Seeing You.
Talking to You.
Listening to You.
Dancing with You.
Learning from You.
Celebrating life with You.

Each of these were clearly the highlights.

Dev, if not for You, i would be lost in web of me, mine, myself, materials, mindlessness, mistakes, misalignments, mishaps, mischiefs, misbehaviours & misguided choices.

Sahebji,
Thank You for ‘not’ missing me.
Thank You for loving me.
Thank You for enabling me.
Thank You for giving me direction.
Thank You for guiding me to my true purpose.

Sahebji, agar AAP na hote, toh hum bhi na hote.

Sahebji, agar AAP na hote, toh hum moh, ahankaar, maya aur bandhano ki gehri gehri khaio mien hote.

Sahebji, agar AAP na hote toh hum barbaad, bekarar, bekhabar, be-buniyaad,, besharam, bezubaan, bewakoof, behosh, bezaar, behisaab, behaya, bekhayal, besoora, besahay, berangi,
bemuraad, behaal, bereham,
aur bekhauf hote.

Aap ne hume bal bal bacha liya Sahebji.

Dev, Your passion for my kalyaan is unmatched, unchanged, unhindered, unstoppable, unbreakable, unbelievable, unshakeable…

Dev, by Your Grace,
i will not let it go to waste.
i will not let is pass by unemployed.
i will not let it go unutilised.
i will put my best to make the most of it.
i will not let the flame be extinguished.
Please give me the strength to make it happen.

Thank You.
Thank You.
Thank You.
