ॐ असतो मा सद्गमय ।
तमसो मा ज्योतिर्गमय ।
मृत्योर्मा अमृतं गमय ।
ॐ शान्तिः शान्तिः शान्तिः ॥

from delusion to truth
from darkness to light
from death to immortality
Aum peace, peace, peace!

My ebullient, fun loving elder brother Sunil, was taken by Covid

His loss cannot be filled and is a loss for all whose lives he touched

At four years old with Mom. those gorgeous large eyes full of masti and mirth. his childhood nickname Gappu carried on into adulthood. typical of his good humour, he revelled in it

now isn't that a bonny baby

Yes now we are evenly bestowed....love Coca Cola

 

you can "Try Your Luck" but where finance is concerned

I am a wizard

just watch me when i become a chartered accountant

(Card game stall at the annual Diwali Mela by Mom's ladies club Mahila Mangal)

Childhood, those beautiful sunny days

one thought they would never end
