Katie Melua Instagram – Amiran Melua, Babu, here you are in the last good summer we had together. This was taken in Batumi. The morning began with a book—a history of all the different religions—and as we made our way to the beach that day, every time we bumped into someone you knew, you’d stop and read them certain sections from it.
Your calling in life, from when I came along, was to feed people and host the greatest supras. That delighted the 8-year-old me, confounded the 17-year-old me, and then, sometime in my 20s, your four degrees in culinary arts finally made sense once I was old enough to hear the stories of hunger in the gulags.
You were one of the sportiest, with early morning bike rides well into your 60s and 70s. Your sense of humour—your love of joking around, or as we call it, Shakhiri—was truly unmatched.
Thank you for giving me the greatest Grandad anyone could ever ask for. RIP
