Papa Kehte Hain

Appa can make your world turn rosy in a matter of minutes and a volley of words. From last night's conversation:

a) As usual, When I have some interesting moments, God will cut it. I have to go to office early today ( Expressing his disapproval on his crazy schedule and the fact that he got to chill with both M and me on an early Monday morning)

b) Enjoy work, Be fit, Think Positive, Remember us. ( His usual "sermon" as he calls it, which is routinely delivered every time we call home, irrespective of time and mood)

An endearing conversation with the family after such a long time made me realize how much I miss them. There have been weeks when I have been immersed in my own world and forgot about them, they did not have problems. Their support in their special ways have shaped both M and my personalities. Walking through the corridors yesterday, I noticed a colleague talking his family around the work place. He was animatedly discussing the work and the labs and his dad was listening to him intently, eyes wide open, curiosity spattered on his face and the radiance of happiness exuding through every pore of his skin. I am sure he did not understand most of what his son was talking, but still the pride, veneration and sincerity was . 

During these dreary times, it feels wonderful to lean onto the ones who love you unconditionally. A shoulder, A hand or just a simple word does make a whale of a difference.
