00:00The last visit that he had come, he told me something like,
00:12Mani chal baate karte hain, it was around 12-12.30 at night, toh maine kaha ki Sheru
00:18aaj nahi kal, unfortunately that kal never came.
00:29I don't know, like, this is one regret that I have, that I could not honour his words,
00:36like, I never thought that I would never be able to meet him ever again, I think.
00:44Shekhar, we used to fondly call him Sheru, you know, Sher, and the reason why, because
01:03he was, I think from the very childhood he was indomitable, like, he was very brave,
01:11very courageous, and always on his toes, always on his toes.
01:42There was nothing like, you know, one fine day that he decides that I would like to join
01:45the army.
01:46It was always there, that he will be there in the army.
01:50Aaya mein toh padikha dila, padikha diye, I was selected.
01:57Selected ekalo army, air force, navy, pinte hi pegalo, toh bolo, aur bapi bolo, bolo,
02:06main army ke jayega.
02:09He was also a good shooter, which we came to know about later on.
02:17Shooting kolo, national shooter ho chudho, ho, gold medal, silver, bronze, tinte hi ho
02:26peche, ebang national present peche ho, gold medal.
02:32He had a great sense of humour, so what he would do, he would, you know, send letters
02:38when he would send letters, he would draw the pictures and at that time I realised for
02:43the first time that what a good artist he was.
02:46We never knew that an artist is there in the house, the way he used to sketch.
02:51Sketch that this is how we have been trained for swimming, this is how the trainer is,
02:58you know, is teaching us, and all the funny things he would speak about.
03:08It was 12th August, 2000, and August, so we didn't have a telephone at that time.
03:18Even, you know, at that time it was very difficult to get even a connection.
03:22So my landlord, he said that your parents, your father has called, and you are to go
03:27to your mom's place immediately.
03:30So as I was approaching my house, main dekhne hoon ghar ke saamne itni bheed lagi hui hai,
03:37toh as I was climbing up the stairs, I said, okay, no, ma, she's, you know, crying.
03:43So I was so confused that I thought, has something happened to my father?
03:48But then if something has happened to my father, but then somebody is telling you that father
03:51ne call ki hai, and then I say, my father also crying.
03:55And then it struck me, oh my God, it's Sheru.
03:58I just could not believe it, because he was somebody,
04:06I just could not believe this was, that he can be, he walked on two feet,
04:15and he came back in coffin.
