"My dad is from Rajasthan, and mom is from Goa. I have never seen my grandparents, or anyone from my father's family as they never accepted my mom. They had a love marriage. Now my brother is 32 years of age. Isn't it good to live with family?
In Goa, rarely people interfere in anyone else's work, and noone cares what others might think. Why is it that in north people often care about the so-called society?
Is your's a love marriage, or an arranged one?"
..and slowly we got into a deep conversation about love, life, and religion.

Yesterday, I went to the parlour and the girl with whom I had an appointment, striked a conversation. She doesn't talk much, but yesterday she just kept on telling her stories. Everyone has a story to tell. At the end, I left with gratitude. Joy of connections! :)

It's wonderful when we could connect with people, esp strangers.
ReplyDeleteTruly, everyone has a story that they wouldn't tell anyone. It must have been a releif for her to open up to you about her family.
ReplyDeleteyes, each one of us have a story to tell. Indeed why does people interfere so much. Live and let live.
ReplyDeleteThere are people who need a comfort level to open up and your persona has warmed up to her. Isn't it beautiful. I love the serenity in Goa. I hope that with time people will be more open to cross-cultural marriage. Love matters the most. Such a beautiful marriage. Now, I know why you love Goa so much, Payal:)
ReplyDeletePeople could be strange sometimes. Could be a beautiful surprise.
