My heart bleeds again…

 My heart bleeds again… 

God has his way of doing things and may be that’s why He took Ji earlier :(


little girl Isha, you stepped into my life with innocence in your heart and curiosity shining in your eyes. We laughed, we cheered, we ate together—I fed you, and we chose to chill out as buddies, or “Bruhs,” as you all started calling. That was the beginning of our bond.

Dance became our language—our way of connecting, of building trust m, comfort and care. I am forever grateful to the Almighty that you chose me to be your Odissi guide. No matter what, how bad the situation be, you always showed up. For years I dressed you in your Odissi attire, but the other day, when I dressed you and combed your hair, it felt so painfully different, my child. My heart bled again.

We witnessed your growth—how beautifully you blossomed in your dancing, how confidently you performed your solo before a great audience. I will always cherish those simple, precious moments: you counting the candles I bought and deciding which ones I could use…  uncle buying more and asking me to show them to you. You became our life in ways we never expected.

When Ji was unwell, you would softly ask if I was okay, if he was doing better. Your gentle concern showed the depth of your little heart. Last Sunday, while preparing for the exam, you were all challenged, and I asked you to work on a piece and come prepared to lead. Isha… SDT will never be the same without you.

No matter how much I try to convince myself, your voice—“Whattt? Why? Why me? … Okay, I can do it”—keeps echoing inside me. The world may not have seen it all, but your parents, your brother, B aunty, M aunty, and I knew how responsible, respectful, and sincere you were.


Aneesh, Bhai, and Sony — we know that life will never be the same again, but we are so deeply grateful to you for letting us share such beautiful moments with Isha. Those memories will stay with us and give us strength as we move forward. Sony, SDT is all yours; you know how much we cherish you and everything you are. Please remember that this family is always with you, holding you close in our hearts. May you find comfort in knowing that you are never alone, and that Isha’s light will continue to guide us all.

our princess dwells in our heart at all times.

Life is bitter - kids had recently accepted life without dad but their hearts ache again and this time, nothing can solace them.  I hope I can gather myself again.

The only regret I will carry for the rest of my life is not keeping my promise of your Boba treat. I’m so sorry, my sweetie pie. With uncle’s condition, I couldn’t keep my word… Please forgive me, if you can, my love.

Have a peaceful journey, my angel.  Uncle will take care of you upstairs!

I love you my baby!
