my dearest gradmother

My grandmother was a remarkable woman.She loved me a lot and I returned her love and affection with a pretty smile.She cared for me and I loved staying with her more than anyone else.She was a brilliant cook.She would bake chocolate puddings,pithes(a kind of sweet made on Sankranti) and many other things.When I went to visit her I would always take sweets bought with my own money to her.I liked to see the sparkle in her eyes and the words of gratitude in her delicate lips then.Every morning she used to do puja in the puja room.She did all the pujas starting from Saraswati puja to Laxmi puja.We children (my sisters and I) would sit beside her,listening to the lovely stories which used to teach us a moral unobtrusively.We learned from her that we should never leave rice on our plates as it will make Ma Annapurna angry.We should handle our books with care to please Ma Saraswati and gentle care of sparrows lead to the entry of Ma Laxmi in our houses.I loved it when she fed me with her hands and it always seemed to make the food more tasty.Whenever I have any problem I always pray to my beloved Dida and Dadu.He was a great man,a caring father,a loving grandfather and a fabulous lawyer.My grandmother also had all the qualities of a perfect mother and we all her and love her from our hearts.Whatever I know I learnt from her and to me,she is and will always be the most brilliant woman.I know that wherever she is,she must feel proud of me.I will alwas remember her and she has a special place in my heart.In fact,she is my ideal person and my life's abbition is to be as great as her though I am sure I can never be that good or religious.I want her to know that I LOVE you Dida.I should not feel too sad as I know that she must have been given a wonderful welcome in heaven and I must feel very happy for her.May her soul rest in peace.....
