Awakening..

My trip to Banglore had been special in many ways - a place I was so sure I would never visit. But I’m gad I did. Particularly having meet K (who was always more than a college senior to me), opened in front of me a wide range of possibilities that I could and I should do with my life. To speak more about her, she was the one who comforted me when I was a little kid in my early days of engineering – someone whom I have always looked up to. With time, our lives drifted apart. But still she is someone who would always be close to my heart…

It was a casual ring that I gave, once I landed in Bangalore. I wasn’t actually hoping to catch up with her. Don’t really know why… She sounded a little low. She wasn’t keeping well. I felt a tinge of sadness for having neglected our friendship so much and for so long. I decided to meet her. And the next day I was at her place. In spite of all the pain she was in, she looked as beautiful as always. It was good to see her world… We talked for long. I was glad to see how much she had changed in the past five years, but she was still the same vivacious pretty girl who always so different from the rest…

The meeting left me in a state of confusion and conflict. I was disturbed when I left her place. There were so many thoughts on my mind, making me feel restless. I wanted to be left alone. I wanted to think. I wanted to sort out things… She was glad to see me in that state she confessed. That was her agenda she said later… And I’m glad she did. Sometimes you need a little push so that you can set out and realize your dreams…
