Life is indeed strange and wonderful..in both ways..The cut-throat competition, the fast paced way in which the world is racing like a mad dog race..with deadlines to meet, people to be pleased, kids to be raised, family to be looked after, career to be nurtured..one has very little, in fact no time for emotions. Things can, however, turn a new leaf and a new chapter in one’s life… a new assignment, a surprise gift, a long break…or perhaps a long lost friend…
It was a pleasant surprise when I came across a long lost friend, after a long period of some 20-22 years…We were childhood friends and even though we knew each other for just about 2 years and all our feelings were shared only through letters having hardly met at all, it is very surprising, when I look back now, how strongly I felt for her…We were young, we were innocent, we were busy with our studies at school…but amidst all that, we still find some time to share a few wonderful moments together..even if those were in the form of letters…
Being very sensitive I was very particular of what I write, how I write, on what paper to write, with what colour ink to write….because I thought she should see me in my letters…And I used to write almost daily…I used to send her a rose with each of my letters…a deep red rose, with a strong fragrance, with all the thorns carefully removed…so that even by mistake she can’t get hurt…it seems so funny now, how I could be very particular at such a young stage of life..but then every person is different and that happens to be the way I was and am…
Now, after so many years…life has turned full circle again…with some sweet memories…
