Today she rests in peace..

For the past one month or maybe more, the one news that only became duller by the day was the Aarushi murder case. Ekta Kapoor was kind enough in not showing mercy to the Talwar family and mint money by trying to produce yet another soap (on Aarushi's life), News channels and motor mouth reporters gave us a whole encyclopedia on shit journalism. And while I went about doing my daily chores, spending 47seconds a day on what has become of today's world, ma went about screaming at my younger brother for he's in class XII and NOT studying, bhai went about showing his usual disregard to amma's oral bashings, perhaps papa was the only person in the house who religiously followed this piece of news. And every time he went to sleep, he said, a "father" can never do such a thing. And maybe that’s what all fathers said when they heard about this horrific, cold-blooded murder. 

Strange, we say so much about mothers, but not enough about fathers. That one person who toils throughout the day just to make ends meet. So that he can give his children all the happiness and facilities that he didn’t receive. He’s the person who completes your mother, who leaves a new-born baby and an exhausted mother back home on a monday morning, to go to work so he can arrange for your first toys and diapers, he's the one who inspires you, who solves your problems, who signs your report cards, who supports you come what may. And for a daughter he’ll always remain the only perfect man..

Today, justice prevails, today there's hope, today fathers heave a sigh of relief, today the Talwar family gets the first true chance of mourning the huge loss, today my dad will sleep peacefully and today, Aarushi hopefully will rest in peace..
