It's been a few months now - after Sirisha left me alone in this world. Life has been very different without her. This week used to be very special when she was around – celebrating Bogi, Sankranti and her Birthday. I thought this is the right time to jot down some of my feelings...
Siri was my sweetheart in the college, a wonderful friend and advisor and wife. She was very considerate person – always making sure that everyone around her is happy. She’d been very ambitious in life. She was very energetic and grew faster in her work-life and also completed her masters while working. A wonderful human being. Life had been very good for me after she entered it. When everything else was going right in our life, God decided to put abrupt brakes. Man, this is totally unfair!! Why me?
My parents and in-laws have been very supportive and helped to go through this phase. It had been very tough for my mother-in-law to digest this news. After all, she was talking to Siri just half-an hour earlier before this thing happened. My elder bro-in-law moved to Hyderabad to support his family.
Most of our close common friends are not in Hyderabad. But they are calling me regularly and making sure that I’m alright. I’m lucky to have these guys as friends! I’m not a kind who keeps regular touch with friends unlike Siri. Somehow I don’t do it and I always wonder why (and I regret sometimes). And I feel sad when friends visit Hyderabad and don’t meet me. This could be because they also feel uncomfortable to talk to me about Siri’s death. I can understand...
My colleagues played a very important role in my recovery. They were with me during the happiest moment of my life when I got married to Siri and during my saddest moment. I’m very happy with the kind of people I work with. I love this company. I found new friends to hang out with. We started going out for a drive during weekends to places like Srisailam, Sagar and Khammam. We also went for a week-long trekking and activities trip to Coorg, Devbagh and Goa recently.
Life is so different without Siri. I had my share of nightmares after her death. But now I make sure that I keep myself in cheerful mood and also the people around me. I have started using my funny bone to re-energize myself. I have also started orkutting and keeping in touch with my orkut friends. Let us see how this goes.
This incident re-emphasizes the importance of regular workouts in a IT life, especially for working women. BTW I have already started working out in the Gym and this would remain as one of my top resolution for the new year.
I love you, Siri and I miss you!
