This sure is a very rare paradigm of attachment and solidarity.
Uncle Sat has sure been one of Kulwant Chachaji's closest friends and used to lovingly call him "Kulu".
I had the great fortune, as a small kid, of tagging along with them when they went to the cinema or to the coffee house. They would at times take me for walks to the Buddha Jayanti Park or to Children’s’ Park at India Gate. Such simple luxuries of those times were so much fun and can never compare to the visits to best of the "five star" places today.
My initiation into listening of music, the art of being well turned out in our meager means, the finer qualities of chivalry and grace were majorly due to my observing these wonderful gentlemen who were always there for each other and later their families, and even to the extended families. While planning my visit to California, in spite of other relatives being there, Kulwant Chachaji insisted that I live with Sat uncle and in spite of his busy schedule, he gave me one of the best times of my life.
Sat uncle is so much family, that he would accord respect and honor to Papa, Mummy, Gurcharan Chachaji and Jasbir Chachiji, in the same manner in which Kulwant Chachaji would render his respects to his elders. In-fact he would actually call them by the same names that Kulwant Chachaji would use for addressing them, “Dr.ji, Bhabhiji, Bhapaji” etc.
In our self-seeking urge, to hang on to a very vital link in the life of Kulwant Chachaji, we wish that he shall continue touch us with his wonderful heart and tell us more about the days they spent together.
We further look forward to his visits us just like the good old days, so that even though one friend is gone for ever, the other shall be there to provide solace.
