The best thing for me would be the sabarimalai trips. The 1st year he walked with me the entire distance. I would second the nakkal angle totally. i think he was the only one who could match me in that and better me sometimes.:) Dont worry..He may be gone physically but his memories will love forever.

Amazingly our lives have been intertwined in a weird way...first through Gopi uncle, Rajesh and Suman then through auntie Vishalam and Lullu, and then again in the loss of our dearest people..I was touched by your post...and the lines 1951 - 2008 really hit SO hard. It reminded me of how unbelievable it was when Ashok's picture was in the paper with 1957 - 2008 written below it...Wish you all the very best in life. Both Rahul and you are great guys... keep the courage..keep the faith and keep smiling :) Hi Rethas…I can *so* truly empathise…I lost Ashok on the 19th of June…and it’s been just over a year…voids don’t fill up…though much touted as the healer, time just manages to build a patina on the surface…Your question and your dad’s pic on your blog made me feel like writing this comment…

In many ways Bhaski is not gone. Just last night Dhruv asked me about him - wanted to know if Bhaskar aja would still be able to know that Dhruv really misses him and wishes that he could come to his b'day - June 26th.

In simpler terms - "Hope" :) Vasant kaka (fondly remembered for his cooking... sadly, I dont know much about him) Gopi kaka, also for his cooking, patience, humming, timeless tales Prabhu kaka for his vigour and vibrance at any gathering, immitating others.. Daddy for his nakkals! Bhaskar kaka also for his nakkal, never-ending help, ..... Truly timeless. I cannot hold myself from telling about my comepetition with Bhaskar kaka... who is fairer?!!!! He clearly used to win each time showing off his "White" arms :) Missssss you Bhaskar kaka....

We had many common friends. The picture put up is taken at Mustafa Singapore along with me and vishnu. A deeper look at this picture it speaks a lot. Nakkal nagalingam - what he is called in our friends circle - is missed by all. Any way we have no control on such things and life carries on. Take care Bhaskaer was more of a friend than brother.

This is Ishu... dont have a face book account and logged in to look back in time... Bhaskar mama... the image in my mind is of a brisk man, full of smiles.. Someone who has just 'been there' at any hour of the day for us... be it midnight or sunshine he was always there with anxious eyes in the lobby of the hospital where my dad was admitted every now and then..he would come with no calls made to him.. he would give - with no asks... I feel ashamed - I could never express my gratitude to him - till the very end... We miss his presence - truly.. Rethas….
