My Memories
I live in the U.S.;very far from my home,my parents and my loved ones.At times when I was in India I was so ignorant that ,I thought I am always going to live like this being the daughter of my father and sister of my brothers.I was never given any responsibility what so ever,which I don't appreciate at this time of my life.But so far so good.
Few days back my father sent me some packet by courier from India.In that packet there were some sweets,new year card and some other little things.As a matter of fact the packet was not even worth Rs/-700.Some how the packet got lost in the way.I came to know about it today.I do not blame any one for this.My bad luck that it happened.
For me the packet consisted of mere sweets,which was of not much value.There is some thing else which is eating my heart.I promised my friend to offer those sweets which was long awaited.The whole time we were drooling and talking about it.
Apart form that there is some thing else too,which is making my heart weep.Today is a very important day of my life.Six years back on 19th January,at this time my house was full of relatives,guests family and friends.Every one was busy,talking to each other,having fun,eating and drinking.For the first time my father cried out loud that day.
So I was hoping,what if I cant see him now,at least I can touch the packet which he touched at the time of packing it.I can feel the love which he poured in it when he was packing it.I can visualize him buying stuff,wrapping it ,going to the courier office and then waiting for my call to tell him that I received his love.Six years back was the day when the house was full ,and today is the day when I am all alone.
Today is also 19Th January, only a different year,but things have changed.This is how time changes,emotions change ,values change and surprisingly it will keep changing .
Ohh dear, That was so touchy.
ReplyDeleteWe got to be strong to overcome these emotions but yes sometimes we just want to flow with them or it happens unintentionally.

ReplyDeleteEven I thought the same thing! But time changes, and people's responsibility changes from time to time.
