Chom Chom was sleeping, after I kissed her, she was wide awake after sometime. I took the blessings of Ma, told bye to Ritu, Sonamoni gave me three kisses, and I boarded the cab.
Within a short time, I was out of Turf View ( that was Ritus quarter ) . into the busy streets of Alipore. The cab sped through the flyover connecting Bengal Area and Park Circus. I reached the airport before time, called up Ma, Ritu and Rangapisi that I had reached the airport safely .
I went through the usual security check, saw some elderly ladies sitting in wheelchairs,.even some weeks back I used to see Ma there, but this time she was staying in Kolkata with Ritu, Sonamoni and Chom Chom . My eyes glistened for some time and then I headed for the stairs. The flight was a little late , and there was no one to talk to. I reached Bangalore safely, boarded a Meru Cab and was back to Pinewood Apts.
On entering the house , I turned on the lights, went to Ma's room .. it was empty. Then I cried for some time, and started cleaning up the house.
Then I cleaned the rooms, had dinner, called up Ma, Ritu, Rangapisi and Sejokaku and later went to sleep. The next day was a Monday, and I had to reach office .
Life moved on.....
