Today I am missing him more than anything. There are various reason. Todsy being the last dsy of pitri-paksha. It is the time of the year, when it is assumed that the ancestors visit earth. The period stood for 15 days and the souls return back to their world during the new moon day. Being the last day, I wish to meet his soul once.
The other reason of missing him a lot was todsy we have the nail biting India vs Pakistan world cup cricket match. When these two nations play cricket it is actually not only a game of bat and ball but becomes a war. Such is the adrenaline and excitement among the players and spectators. I wish my Dad to be alongside me watching the game together. We alwsys had some good cricketing moments, watching the game together.
me and my dad
My love for cricket began at an ealy age watching him clapping hardly seeing former batsman Ajay Sharma hitting a six. He jumped in jubialition clapping and praising the short. He was completelly enjoying the game that was the time when I get attracted towards Cricket too.
When I grown up, watching cricket match on TV alongside him is more of fun and enjoyment. We used to share own thoughts and predictions, and sometime own analysis. Although he never played cricket but he had some good knowledge just by watching the matches on TV. Today I wish I would have him here, watching the match together and enjoying every moment.
What to expect from me on this day? Last day of pitri-paksha and a cricket match and a weekend. There are all the ingrediant that made me feel sad and miss him lot. Since morning, I prepared the set up. Cleaned up his room, made his bed and sitting on a chair right next to his bed. That was how we used to be in his last minute. Being the last day of the pitri-paksha I wish he visit us and made some shout watching the match. As the soul visit during pitri-paksha, I wish him to be here for some moment of time else they depart again. Making me to wait longer till next year.
This is the perfect set up not to miss him and there is no other way to make a perfect weekend. This is how I really wanted my weekend to be. But sometime we get helpless. I am positive to meet him, still long hours to go before the day ends. @galenkp I can not make a better weekend than meeting his soul once.
