Dady, my father, took his first breath when the nation was struggling for freedom. He was privileged of passing the journey of his life through such transition and having his last breath in the independent India. With the rising sun he became free of his body on 22nd of June 2014. He still lives here in the form of his deeds, the values, the inspirations, the family and also some abstract form beyond definition. After losing his parents at a tender age of about 6 years he managed to perform his duties well towards self, family and society to become a satisfied, healthy, happy and truly free person fully prepared to accept the final event of death.
We used to sing some patriotic songs on the Independence day celebration at home followed by distribution of sweets to family and neighbors.
Some of his favorite lines during last phase of his life recovered from his hand made diary are as below:
जीवन ख़त्म हुआ, तो ज़ीने का ढंग आया
शमा बुझने जब लगी, तो महफ़िल मे रंग आया
मन की मशीन ने भी, तब ठीक से चलना सीखा
जब बूढ़े तन पर, जंग का लेप चढ़ आया
फुरसत क़े वक़्त मे न सिमरन का वक़्त निकला
उस वक़्त, वक़्त - माँगा, जब वक़्त खुद तंग हो आया
जीवन ख़त्म हुआ, तो ज़ीने का ढंग आया
शमा बुझने जब लगी, तो महफ़िल मे रंग आया
and
तू बंदा नहीं ख़ुद ही खुदा है
हुआ एक नुक़्ते से बसतू तू जुदा है
यह नुक़्ता खुदी है खुदाई का वाइस
हटा दे नुक़्ता फिर खुद ही खुदा है
remembering deeply and feeling proud of our Independent motherland and the freedom of my father. I love you both
