“Appa, I am feeling sleepy” when Aditi approached me, lying idle sharing the warmth of my chest on her tiny body, I felt severe pain in my throat and I knew tears touching the corners of my eyes. “Please don’t go leaving me here” – she held my fingers tight, and I wanted to tell her that I have to go - but my voice was stuck somewhere within my chest! I don’t know why every journey becomes a reminder of a long journey ahead! ‘Detach yourself’- thus says the scriptures, but my Lord, tell me, how can I, looking at these innocent eyes? How can I detach my own blood from this body when that would be as fatal as death? I understand, one fine day she would come holding the fingers of another man and telling me that she has found a man as caring as me. Leaving the space empty forever she would disappear on a road velvety with the fallen flowers of spring. My Lord, I wouldn’t like to be here on this earth on that day when the road ahead would appear faded through the dense drops of tears in my eyes! Perhaps the only reason why I am connected to the world is her, my little princess! Aditi is sleeping peacefully, I need to sleep too to wake up early and to set my journey. When the train takes me far away from this beautiful green paradise, the precious moments with her would flash in front of these eyes, and her sweet voice would sing in the rhythm of the wheels on the track. It is another journey and I am not sure about the way ahead; my Lord, take care of her, grab her with your arms and secure her in your heart!
