In this day thru Facebook
On the radio thru sad love songs. The love songs really tug tug at heart strings but very odd to think of Mr Lee as "baby" which is so often used in such sad songs!
Thru memorial services. Island wide.
Thru half mast for a week
Through minutes of silence that I would like to observe though have not had a chance to as yet
Thru conversations
Thru 8 hour long queues for people to pay their respects to him
Thru cancellation of some events
Through publications
Through support for him online and bashing of those with different views
Through posters in tamil nadu villages!
Tributes at foreign embassies and parliaments
Through giving out flowers and drinks for free to people waiting to pay their respects to him
Through flying down especially for his funeral - from the US- delegation led by Clinton with Henry kissing, from India - prime minister modi , premiers from Jakarta and many more places.
Rajini kanth has penned his tribute too.
Through cards and letters
For me through not posting anything not related to lky during the period of mourning, not advertising my house for rent wearing muted colours ensuring we have no plans on Sunday so we can watch the funeral
Writing and writing and reflecting
