I used to fear the cold. For the chest diseases it brings. I used to fear people with a runny nose or a cough going near Ammi. Because I knew Ammi gets infected easily and then it takes a painful couple of months for her to be well again. I used to fear the rain. Because it brings mosquitos. And i knew Ammi wouldn’t be able to take it if she had malaria or dengue. How would she cope? Sometimes I even feared food being ordered in or us going to a restaurant because I knew Ammi would get a stomach bug or something and it would be weeks of suffering. I feared not getting a project. If she was unwell and needed to be hospitalised, what would I do if I had no money? It’s painful when you have to switch your prayer from asking God for her long life and health to suddenly asking God to forgive her and keep her in a good place in the next life. That’s the most painful thing. I still sometimes pray for her health without realising and then I have to correct myself. But now I have realised I don’t care about the weather so much. Or this or that happening or not happening. It’s ok.
God is kind. He allowed me to have a life where I got to spend so much time with my parents. This is me and Ammi only a month before she passed away. I liked to play songs for her. That day I chose this one. Always a love song because she was my beloved. Sometimes words are unnecessary. Notice how she gestures to me to stop filming her because I’m missing out on the sunset . Only Aapi Roohi. It is now day 30 without her.

My birthday was always a magical day in our family. Because it was also the wedding anniversary of my parents. They were married on 5th December 1975 and I was born 5th December 1976. They used to say to me, you were the best anniversary gift God could have given us. Actually I was supposed to be born on the 7th. But Abbu took Ammi on a jeep to see relatives from Latifabad to Heerabad in Hyderabad. That jeep ride prompted an early labour and I was born on the 5th. It was destined to be that way. The three of us were special. Connected by love destiny and blood. They were my parents and also my purpose. And now, I live without parents or purpose. My only desire is to see them again. And so, the wait begins… 😔❤️

I always loved this song. One day I realised why. I went to my mom, lay next to her and said listen to this song. This is our song. In this song, my feelings for you are being verbalised. She listened. Her Punjabi was flawless. She enjoyed the song. Then she proceeded to tell me the meaning of the parts I didn’t understand. But this beautiful moment ended up the same way most of them did. Every time I told her how much I loved her, she simply turned the conversation around by saying that she is afraid what will happen to me after she is gone because I haven’t found myself a wife. Now she is gone. But the song remains… 😔❤️
Ps. Isn’t she the most lovable creature of all time?
Aapi Ruhi, my Ammi, the Constant Gardner in my life has left us for her final journey. For now there is not much to say. She was the home I went back to whenever life gave me a spin. For the rest of my days, I am truly homeless. Inna lilla he wa inna ilehe raajiun. 😔

The first official image of the film the first words and the first page of which I wrote 15 years ago, in 2010. What an ocean of time from that to this. But I hope it’s all worth the wait in the end. Neelofar is a flower that grows and blooms in mud. It’s nature’s way of saying that beauty can and must exist against all odds. ❤️
