Nee Bandu Ninthaaga – Kasturi Nivasa
This is my all-time favorite song written by my father.
In early May 2008, when he was recovering from a massive stroke in Ramaiya Hospital, Bangalore, I played this very video for him on YouTube.
He had completely lost his speech, and entire right-side movement. But he was still able to carry a tune perfectly.
While the video played, he and I hummed along together – one of the last amazing moments I had with my father.
I’m actually amazed that I’m able to recollect this without completely breaking down. That’s life I guess 🙂
Beautiful. What an amazing man.
