| Saharanpur,2016 |
There is some kind of satisfaction that I get whenever I visit
Saharanpur, my hometown. Last week, it was a long weekend, and we decided to
visit my parents and my inlaws. Time just flies by when we are with them.
Also this time, my husband and I thought of meeting a very good
friend of mine from my school days who by chance was in the city at that time.
We were meeting after four years. The moment he saw me, he asked, “How
are you? How is your health?” I don’t know why these questions surprised me.
Somehow I felt good that my friend is genuinely concerned. I guess, except my close family rarely people
ask me this now. I realized how much these questions matter. Sometimes, such questions
bring our attention to ourselves, especially during the times when we are
dealing with some issues.
How wonderful it feels when nothing changes between friends,
no matter wherever we are in our life. With some old friends time and distance doesn't matter. Just that we get involved in deeper and reflective conversations. We three had a great time together.
I am grateful for all the lovely people in my life. No
matter wherever I go, my roots shall keep me grounded.
