"Buddha"
He may have been thin as a stick, but he had the strength of an ox
He helped us carry huge pieces of furniture and bags up three flights of stairs to our apartment
My father would often ask him “how do you get your strength?”
And he would respond “I eat dhal and drink milk!”
Whenever he saw me, he broke into a very loud hello almost as if he was shouting
“OOOHHHH!!!! KAISA HAI??”
In later years, he would tell me that I need to get married soon and he would ask when I would be buying my next vehicle
Buying a vehicle meant that I had to share Mithai with him and his family
I suspect he had a sweet tooth
He was affectionately called “Buddha” (old man) by all
The last time I saw him, he was held by two men, he could hardly walk, and had a tube in his nose
This morning I woke up to the news that he passed away
His grandchildren are the cutest in the world
