The brain tires and the body sluggishly twists and turns, seeking that one moment when it shall slip into slumber. The eyes are shutting as I write and therefore, wanting to pursue in a state of almost inertia, is not the recommended route.

I will take forced leave and shall be in the ‘morrow with you.

Attended the chautha ceremony for MacMohan and was with his brothers-in-law at the ceremony - Ravi Tandon. He had directed me in ‘Majboor’ and is Raveena Tandon’s father.

The evening was sober and solemn, but sad not just for the ceremony and occasion, but for his young son who is physically challenged. I wonder if he will ever know the meaning of death, and the loss of his Father.

I will return soon in the morning … but for now I shall take leave and wish that there are merely a few hours left before I will be back ..

GN !
