Oh I am so going to miss my Granny’s 80th Birthday. Everyone in the family is attending even the ones who are usually busy. My sister from Chennai is attending, my cousin who is pregnant and fragile is attending, my Granny’s brothers and sisters are attending, everyone except me. I called her to wish my regards and the only thing she has to say is “why on earth you there. Wrap up and come here to your family”. She is not the only person to say this. My cousins, my uncle and aunty, even my parents want me and family to move to India for good. So, what is holding me here? They hate the separation of physical barrier and me too. This is the biggest downside of dwelling in USA. I am really missing all the important milestones of my family in India and they are all missing all the life highlights of me and my kids.
Anyway, I cannot believe Granny is 80 years young. Her kids are performing “Pawana Shanti” on this occasion. I don’t know anything about this shanti. I searched to find out more about it online but of no use. I wish I would witness all the rituals of this function. Granny is the only person in the family to reach 80 years and I pray she will reach many more wonderful healthy years ahead. HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRANDMA and I will truly miss your Big Day.
