Hyderabad, August, 2020. When he was born, he was the younger brother. So, his parents named him 'Chhote'. Even his younger siblings called him 'Chhote' bhaiyya (younger brother). My chhote mama recently passed away because of Covid. It is painful, because it happened very soon, and from a man who was walking freely, to a straight pan dead body! I don't want to cry now, because I have admired my Chhote mama's (uncle) positive patience, always from a very young age. It is one feature of his personality which I had admired. I am sharing some of the memories, which I have cherished all my life, some memories, which are pretty clearly imprinted on my mind, some time I had spent with him alone. Let us begin: MEMORY-1 Secunderabad, 1994 I was little! My mama had come to our place in Trishul Line, Secunderabad. These are some very clear visual memories of Trishul line. Our house was on the ground floor. He had come home. He asked me, "Do you sleep outside?"

If I am to describe you to my friends, this is the line I am going to use! Kai baaten aapki suni-sunaai hain, par aapke kehne ka lehzaa aapka apna hai. Kehte hue jo aapki aankhon mein chamak aur awaaz mein khusnuma andaaz bhi aapka apna hai.
Keep it up, Nirdeshak mahoday! :D
