Two years since Grandma's gone

Two years have passed and I often wonder why,
why did you suddenly leave us without saying good bye.
But no Nana, I'm not hear to mourn or feel doleful and sad
cause' memories of you fill my heart with happiness and make me feel glad.
You lived a wonderful life to it's fullest capacity,
we were indeed blessed to have you and you....us, 
as part of family.

Nana, you were truly an epitome of style and grace.
Memories of you always put a smile on my face.
I remember you wanting to get your nails and eyebrows done,
even at eighty,you were always impeccably dressed, 
not a hair out of place,always tied in a bun.
Your heartiness, your infectious laughter and the songs you sang to us brings back fond memories,
and also your culinary skills and concoctions of various delicacies.
I still smile to myself when I think of you chomping on farsans and Aliva biscuits,
perched on your favourite maroon chair in front of the kitchen cabinet.

Oh Nana, I miss you immensely and wished longer you had stayed,
but then no human can ever understand God's plans or ways.
So take care of us and shower on us your blessings and abundant love,
Till we finally meet one fine day in heaven up above.

Camera, Sound, Action in Peace Yashji...RIP

The Bollywood King of romance, yesterday breathed his last,
but he was the only legend who made film making, 
seem to be such an effortless task.
Yash Chopra in his " Waqt" made movies over five decades
broke societal  "Deewar" with some,
and left us with some memorable "Lamhe".
He wrote, directed and produced with great " Joshila",
hit after hit after hit ....from Aaina to Trishul,
from Kaala Pathar to the romantic Veer-Zaara.

"Dil toh Pagal hai" was indeed his motto,
and so in his own signature styles of romance, music and European settings,
classic love stories, he narrated to us galore.
His "Daag" was spotless just like his effervescent  "Chandni"
and twisted and wittily romantic like the vivacious "Bunty and Babli".
"Kabhi Kabhi " in Bollywood, "Rab ne bana di Jodi",
a super combination of musical love stories, sceneries
and the ever youthful Yash Chopraji.
Because no one could and can make movies with such great élan,
and he did as he believed he would do so..
"Jab tak hain Jaan", "Jab tak hain Jaan", "Jab tak hain Jaan"!

So the Gods up in Heaven for this great man, please make lots of room,
Cause' it's your turn now to "Jhoom Barabar Jhoom"
and he's going to ensure you all do so with a great big "Dhoom"!
