The night of April 29, 2014 (exactly 2 years back) was the last night when we had a fit Baba at home. He came back from office and starting watching an IPL match.. an IPL addict he was. He was watching the TV upstairs while Ma was watching her serials downstairs. I had gone out to buy a few essentials. On my way back home, a crow pooped on my head and a wet dirty cockroach flew to me and licked my face. I entered home, feeling disgusted and rushed to take a thorough shower. I was in the bathroom washing myself and my hair for quite some time. When I got out of my room, Baba did not even look at me once, forget about asking what took so long. He was so engrossed in the match!
Soon, it was 11-30 pm and the match was yet to be over. Ma had been calling Baba for dinner for quite some time. Baba came down only after the match was over. Then he ate slowly as he always would. After dinner was over, he boiled some milk which he did meticulously each night, let the milk cool a bit, sipped it slowly. Then he went upstairs, telling me "Mago, aami upore jaachhi". I was downstairs watching TV and he had made it a ritual to tell me this every night when he went to sleep, since the time I came back from Ranchi.
I could hear him having his medicines and making his bed and then after some time I realized that my parents had fallen asleep. The last night when I had my fit Baba at home.
