Abhay always wanted two things for himself. One he wanted to live for 500 years and secondly, he appreciated my mediocre writing so much that he wanted me to write a book on him and I always laughed it off.
It would have been his 50th birthday this 19th of November and I had always dreamt of a super special celebration for him. Most of the planning was already done in the head but a party can’t happen in the absence of the ‘Birthday Boy’.
I truly wanted to make this birthday special for him even when he is not physically present and thought that maybe a feature on Abhay by Humans of Bombay Official would be a good way to celebrate him, even if a book does not happen. So, here we celebrate the man who meant a lot to me, though a little belated because this feature was published just a while ago.
Belated Happy Birthday, Abuji! Here’s your birthday gift and I don’t mind it getting delayed because a celebration should go on till the last gift is opened. Think this is the longest we have celebrated your birthday.

What a wonderful tribute to a man clearly well-loved. 500 years indeed!

So special how you say the celebrations can last until the final gift is opened. Love truly is a gift that is never done, so the festival of light and love can continue.
This is such an amazing way to honour him, and to keep his energy connecting. I love the pictures, what a smile! Now, on to that book he suggested!
I’m so pleased with how this tribute/observance turned out. Happy belated birthday to him, and may his energy always surround you.
