A 111-Year-Old Grandma Reveals How You Kill Your Longevity Every Day With Your Stupid Routine
The most valuable inheritance a grandson got from his dadi(grandma)
Death is glorified in all cultures with rituals that often don’t make any sense they are often a signal to the rest of the world that an individual is grieving.
One such custom for Brahmins (Hindus) is a Tonsure head with a wisp of a pony for the males when they are bereaving a close family member.
I recently asked our chemist bhaiya(elder brother) who was sporting this look if everything was alright, and he told me that he had returned from his village after the last rites of his grandma.
It’s always sad when you hear about someone losing their loved ones, but you can sympathize a hundred times more when you have lost that family member as well.
My dadi(grandma) passed away in 2020 when the world was locked down, we couldn’t even give her a proper funeral so it always hits hard whenever someone talks about losing a grandparent.
I tried to console him citing old age as the villain, but his answer surprised me as he openly claimed that time never had a chance against her grandma.
