I dont remember much about my grandfather as he passed away when I was too young. I remember him to be a lean fair and handsome man with a very stern face. Frankly speaking I am not very emotional about him since I have not seen much of him. However, couple of days back my father while going an old diary read out a few lines etched out by my grandfather which made me reconsider my feelings for him. It said:
....We hope, she would take her first mouthfull of rice fed from her father's hand, watched and guided by the Goddess in whose presence it is being done, with gay relish and continue to do so for the rest of her long and healthy life, for which we send our blessings and good wishes to her.....
