Yudh's Girlfriend Before Marriage… His Typewriter
By Sneh Jain
Yudh loved his typewriter very much. He used to tell me stories about it even when we got the computer. "You know Sonil: (that is what he used to call me,) I used that typewriter for my home work; I type all my school assignments, my college papers and all my research work.
I used to say WOW!
He typed all his resumes, entire letter to send to various companies; and all thank you notes. He was a very responsible person when it comes to work or helping someone. He was very active. I never saw laziness in him. If he needs to do anything he would get up and do it. I used to say to him, "these things are your first wife," he would smile, the corner of his upper lip would turn up and he'd have a smirk on his face.
When he needs to get work done, he would get up 5 AM and start using his typewriter "Kit... Kit...Kit...Tic....Tic...Tic ..... " I would hear him in the other room, and I would scream, "What are you doing?"
He would say, "OH! You can hear, I am sorry, well if you awake come here I will show you how to type. Put your right hand like this and your fingers like that. Left hand like this and left fingers like that. Make sure if you type a word your other fingers should not move; only the letter you type, and do not look at your fingers look at the screen.”
He brought me a self taught course, put a tape in the tape recorder and would say, “listen, and follow the directions you will need when we get our computer.”
He was such a genius when it came to learning new things. Later he was a master in computers.
His fingers were so beautifully long and artistic. I used to say to him your hands are so beautiful. When ever I see that typewriter, it reminds me of so many things, like when people start their life together as a couple.
Yudh's Razor and his Eye Glasses Go Together
By Sneh Jain
How little things are important and they bring you so many memories. They bring a smile to your face whenever you think of them.
Yudh had the alarm set for 6 AM. every day. He would get up from bed quietly and would go on the treadmill for 15 minutes. He would walk up the stairs on his tippy toes and go into the shower and try to make sure he didn't wake me.
As soon as he came out from shower he would start to shave his face. He would try to be as quite as he could, to not disturb my sleep, but I would still know what he is doing. He would shave and would touch all his face around and around. Did he shave all right, put his after shave on? He would bend to the sink to wash his glasses. After washing them he will hold them high and would look in to the lenses. If his glasses are clean o/k; if not he would take a tissue paper and wipe them again and again, round & round. He had the same routine every day.
Until this day he did not know, I knew his secrets. He used to think, he closed the door and I was sleeping. He thought he was not disturbing me.
One day, he freshened himself and went to work, and came back 15 minutes later. I asked him what happened, is your office closed or is this a holiday today?
He laughed; he has small eyes, when he used to laugh tears used to come from his eyes. Words do not come from his mouth. He said when I was driving, I touched my face, and I realized, "Oh my God" I forgot to shave one side of my face. He started to laugh and I laugh. He shaved his face and left.
