Dear Baba,

Yes. We called you baba.

I am yet to get over my dad’s sudden departure

And, now, another sudden exit hits me

Yours.

I grew up knowing and calling you dad

You took care of me right from my childhood awesomely well

I recall how often sickly I was

And you were always on standby

And did so much more for me

And, wanted to do much more
