NANDA - MY FAVORITE FRIEND

                                               

                                            

                                       I, NANDA- WIFE OF NARENDRA PRASAD ( LEFT US ON DECEMBER 1ST 2013) AND KALA RAJAN.

                                           

I was her close friend and she a friendship enthusiast.

she saddled her friends with love and care

Still with excess, without prejudice, for others too!

She enhanced our tummies with beautiful dishes

Her magical touches made taste memorable.

She never flouted quality norms of friendship

She never declined requests for get together.

She was a friend in demand

She had the highest value in friendship.

But……………………….

Just nine months of hope against hopelessness

From the day of detection to treatment

Cells multiplied, called themselves cancarous
But seldom them could swallow her courage

Seeing the slow down to zero in monitor

With no expectation of life in her

Her daughters wept, grand children wept

All of her friends wept, specially me.

My friend was destined to leave, and I, to live.

Yet, I see her with the kaleidoscope of  my memories
Today and for ever. I love you, dear.
