Last Sunday, we came back to Bangalore after spending one week in Kolkata. This visit to Kolkata was important for two reasons; first for Baba's first bereavement anniversary (17th June 2007) and secondly we shall me meeting Soumi after long.
One year has passed since Baba has passed away, leaving only his memories behind. Meeting Soumi was another thing we had in our mind. Even before leaving, I used to tease Ritu several times that I have made an appointment with Soumi beforehand, so I shall be the first one to see her .
Once we reached home at 9am on 16th June , we were met by Ma, Rangapisi, Chotokaku, Sakakima, Preeti and all the others. Puchki was so shy in meeting us, that he was hiding in some corner of the room. By the way, Preeti who always received a scolding from everyone for studying , has come out with flying colours ( 83% ) in her Madhyamik examination. After meeting with everyone, we had our breakfast , had our usual "Round Table conference" and then left for Barrackpore at 11am.
When we reached Barrackpore one hour later, we saw that Ma and Soumi was waiting for us at the gate. Soumi looked so sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeet ..... that words cant describe it. She was now seven months old and looked at us with her beautiful yet curious eyes. But this was short lived ; soon she started crying on seeing us.
