New Delhi: Today is the second anniversary of the death of actor Irrfan Khan. His son, Babil Khan, wrote an impassioned note to his father who passed away on April 29, 2020.
Babil said in his note that he has not moved on from Irrfan's death, and that he may never be able to do so. Here’s the note Babil wrote for his late father:
“Dear baba, I’m trying to remember that perfume you wore, when we travelled north to watch lights dance in Norway. I remember exactly, the feeling of your smell, but I can’t remember the materialism of it. I remember the sensation on my fingertips when you spread my palms to tell my fortunes but it frightens me to forget your playful pinch on my nostrils. I have begged, and I have cried to the heavens, to let not my body forget yet; for my soul is not ready to forfeit. I am not ready to move on, and I am alright with the idea that possibly I will never be, we were never governed by logic. You and I, singular and cosmic.”
Further he wrote, “Everything is, and yet it is not; You’re a perfect teardrop in my asylum. I was mindful and yet I forgot, my intonations of violence. You still breathe, in my thoughts; and our institutions of madness. I miss that, what I fought; your explorations of silence. A creation of yours, Babil.”
News of Irrfan’s death sent shockwaves across the whole nation. It seems that his son has not yet moved on.
