.......seasons........
















My grandpa

He gets confused sometimes...... Sometimes between the information stored in his mind.

I remember he once asked my tauji (dad's elder bro) about the fees of engg colleges.When asked for whom, he replied for himself........


I was sitting in my room, in pilani. I could feel the lovely breeze blowing into my room from the tiny window and the rustles as though they were touching a wind chime and forcing it to make that pleasing sound of it,

when suddenly a name flashed on my mobile screen.


It was 'home calling'. I picked it up, all excited as i am always when talking back home. This time mum had a news different from our everyday talk. Bauji was diagnosed with Dementia....... i guess....... as it is called, wherein the information in the mind gets all mingled up.

He gets confused with time. With morning and night. Gets ready to take a bath at any odd time of the day, saying it is morning. Wants to go out for a morning walk at one in the night.


He likes playing, playing with things, as if he's gone back to his childhood days......He behaves like an 80 year old but he likes to take the route which a child would take when walking,

like around a car and coming back, and tapping his walking stick here n there........


but ..........that makes me love him more........all the more..........
