A week all by myself, in thots and in persona.
Itz been quite a while since I cleaned up my hard disk and so I was doing my clean up, when I noticed few songs which I havent been listening to, in years. Songs that touch my life in some way, each time I hear them.
One was the initial album of ARR, introduced to me by my late uncle. I cant believe it is already more than 5 years since it happened. In all my knowledge, this was my first personal tragedy and I was the first one to receive the news over the phone. When I disconnected the call from Malaysia from my grandfather, I just did not know what to do. My parents had gone out and I was alone at home. Ultimately I conveyed the news to them after the initial shock.
After battling cancer for more than 2 years, he had to face death. I still remember the day when he got me a walkman (that was the first day when I knew what a walkman looked like!) and played to me "Gentleman" songs. Those were school days and I was kinda an introvert those days. I hadnt listened and then he made me listen to all the songs. It still seems like a dream.
The second one, co-incidentally is from the same movie, the folk song. Those were days when I was crazy about dancing and so when my cousins came over for vacation to my house, we planned for some fun stuff and I was the choreographer. My cousin brother, who should have been 10 years younger to me, learnt the steps pretty fast and we did a mockery show, actually. I remember my uncle telling me that my cuz was always the most eager person to come to our house, since we had a computer at home.
Almost 3 years back, when I heard the news that he died in a tragic accident at my native, I was totally taken aback. Those whom God loves, die young....Mebbe God loved this cuz of mine more...
I dunno why I was reminded of these two people this weekend, but just that they brought back memories of the past.
