I have lot of my childhood memories with him , he was old but still my best buddy.. we played musicals where he closes his ears when I sing , we did punch where I always used to win by breaking his bones, he gives me chocolate and I used to eat his also, buy saying "you are old,you will die if you have chocolate", there were days we fight and we don't talked he used to be there in the balcony all the time and when am going to my school even after seeing him I used to act like I didn't see him and my mom used to laugh at out behaviour,a pure relationship between a little stubborn girl and an oldie serious grandpa ... Even if I fight with him I always had respect for him and he knew it more than me .He wasn't my grandma..but our was a relationship which was bound behind blood a relationship which was tied fully with love and care...BUT THEN because of his age he started having problems his son come and took him along with him , then we rarely used to see. Sometimes he used to come to meet me ... But by time I forgot about that friend since we rarely meet ! Today I met him in the road, it was dark I recognize him only when he came under the street light, I smiled at him waved my hands and said "Namaste Swamiji" to mock him. But his reaction to my worlds was wired , he looked at me like a stranger! The person who used to kick me for that is looking at me like "who the hell are you" and he starts walking fast...I was shocked from his behaviour I couldn't utter anything ... When I reach home I felt really bad for the way he treats me. inside I was still feeling like "may be he was pranking " , "may be he was acting like that to mock me back"... All those thoughts were in my mind. I told mom about him she said " may be he do not recognise since it was so dark" , may be she is right! but still i was feeling bad. how can he do it? When my dad came home, I asked him about "swami". oh, he is having some kinda memory problem, he is having alzheimer's disease ! There people say to take his property his sons did something to him , I don't know whether it's true or not! but now he doesn't remember most of the people and things, what can we say... Age is more dangerous than what we think it is ! ! " dad said
