Where are you, beloved child?

I have no idea where are you, my little one. I have looked quite far, and will keep looking.
Please Lord, help me find my little one. All day long I keep wondering where you might be, whether you are hungry and cold (of course you are). You are lost, bewildered, frightened. How I long to hold you in my arms, and feed you bread and milk with my hands as I used to. How I long to see you running down the street with Sher both tussling and wrestling. Both of you sitting together are the most wonderful sight my eyes have ever seen.

I remember how each night you would wait outside our gate peering in. My two little monkeys looking in. I always knew I would have to part with you one day, but i expected that day to come after ten years, not just one year. If only i had known I would not have gone for Diwali. I would have stayed back. One slip and you are gone.

O Mother Universe, can you hear me... Can you help my dear child back here. Can you guide her back? Can you guide someone will recognize her to her. Someone who will bring her back. Please Mother, Earth find a way to bring my dear Gabbar back. All failing guide her to someone who will love her and be kind to her. O Mother, when we leave these bodies may we be one, may we never be separated ever again.
