As one more pandemic stricken year comes to a close, we mark ten years without Akshay. Its been a chaotic year no doubt, glad its getting over. See I even missed posting on Akshay's birthday in March. But there's beauty in the bleakness, almost as if God is whispering in our ears to look at the splendour of his Creation and add to it in whatever way we can. Just as Akshay did in his short life.
It was Archy's birthday yesterday, he turned eleven. There was a pretty cake, but it didn't seem to interest our furry friend much. Look how he gives a grateful look for the birthday song. Amazingly human!
Up in the skies, today is an eventful day. Five planets are lining up and will be visible to the naked eye. Five twinkling stars, all in a row specially for Akshay to watch from wherever he is.
The day Akshay was consigned to flames was Bahrain National Day, and the whole nation was decked up in lights - a grand farewell for Akshay. God's ways are mysterious aren't they?
