Geet reaches us in Quarantine - June 2022


Geet on her birthday June 2022

Those were truly challenging and emotionally heavy days during the Covid pandemic. Harvinder and I were isolated from the rest of the family, confined to a designated room with a separate air circulation system to prevent any risk of spreading the virus. For nine long days, we remained quarantined—cut off not only physically, but emotionally as well, from the daily warmth of family life.


The painting Geet slipped into our room.

In that quiet, uncertain time, it was our granddaughter Geet who reached out in the most touching and unforgettable way. Though just a child, her love and concern for us shone through with rare depth. She created a single piece of artwork—just one painting—but it spoke louder than words ever could. With the innocence of a child and the instinctive wisdom of love, she gently slipped it under the door of our room.


That painting was more than just colors on paper. It was a message. A symbol. A little girl’s way of saying, “I’m thinking of you. I’m with you.” It carried within it all the affection, concern, and longing that she couldn’t express in person.

Her gesture, though simple, remains etched in our hearts. The love and bond she showed during those days is beyond measure. It reminded us that even in times of isolation, love finds its way—sometimes through a single painting, gently slipped under a closed door.
