PART 4: THE END
As September ended, my father was diagnosed with meningioma. His surgery was done on 30th September; after which he showed good recovery. In a month he was up and running (not literally). The best thing to happen was that he did not remember anything about it. 27 September to 1 October, seemed to be erased from his system. He jokingly compares that scar on his head with the one in Ghajini. Now it has healed and there are no signs though.
October was the resting month for my father, loads of medicines, weekly checkups and well wishers coming home. My father enjoyed his month long holiday. His health showed good progress. My break allowed me to shift my whole attention to my fathers care during this period. As October ended, I somewhere saw about half marathon happening in Delhi.
Running did not seem like a very complex task, and since I had covered more than 35 km in a day in my Valley of flowers trip, it seemed doable. I ran the half marathon on November 1. Lots of people asked it must have been fun, I answered it was painful. My father and Uncle, were used to walking daily more than 10-15 KM in there teens. Hence, me finishing the the half marathon at this age, did not create a great impression on them.
We then went to Dehradun as father recovered, so that all of us can have a some peaceful time. Spent about 4-5 days there, met Bhabhiji (Cousins wife); whose marriage we missed on 30th September. In December, we returned to the MC Project, launching it (don’t remember the date). The idea was well received, and most of my time went in garnering feedback. As new year came, I went to lucknow to meet two good friends of mine, with a revelation which I had just days before new years ever. All my friends know about the revelation I had, although I will share it in writing when something tangible happens.
