early days

It was early in the morning and it was still very dark outside.Babau could hear the sound of somebody knocking on the door,he knew it to be priya.Babu knows priya since last 3 years since the time he has come to gujarat.She is the girl who would follow him like a shadow and help him whenever required.She was more like a guardian of babu.Reluctantly babu got up and opened the door and as expected he saw priya standing st the door with a anger on the face."why that i need to wake you up daily.cant you atleast get up in the morning.we are already late for he morning classes.Babau gave her a smile and went inside.Babu's house was a 100 q feet room and he lived with his parents and elder brother.The room served as a kitchen in the morning and afternoon and bed room in the night and also the bathroom for a quick bath.Babu had bath and quick breakfast and left with priya to school for the early morning classes.but he knew that they are not going to attend the classes.They both will go to the nearby police parade ground and sit there watching the early morning parade.He enjoyed every bit of that morning routine coz he gets an oppurtunity to spend time with Priya,Priya is a daughter of a wealthy business man and has a lavish house and babu alsways dreamnt of staying in such houses but he never knew what he would do in such a large house.

reconnecting

its so wonderful to meet your old friends.The joy is beyond words can express.It bring back all the good times we had together.This is my attempt to get connected to all my friends whom i miss at this phase of my lfe.

Sometimes you are so busy with the corporate rat race that you forget so many people who have played an imprtant role in your life knowingly or unknowingly.After witnessing 26/11, i felt we are so vulnerable and may be we are the only commodity in this world withouht a warranty.I call myself a commodity coz may be sometime we are devoid of any emotions.We are so busy with our own life that we tend to forget many things,may people,many relationship and many bonds.

I was travelling to surat from baroda in a car and this is the first time in my life i was travelling in a car on that route.Inspite of living in gujarat for almost 14 years i never got an oppurutunity to travel in a car.I have not even travelled in a reserved compartment as a kid and now when you can afford all those small luxuries of life which you dreamnt of when you were a kid,it feels good.You feel so satisfied with yourself and also experience a sense of achievement.Still my heart ges out for kids begging on the streets or working.But i strongly feel that the future may be totally different for the kids whom today i see on streets.You really dont knwo where you will find him/her after 10 years.Its all destiny.
