I met some 60 people during the family function last week. My mom introduced me to a quarter of them, and my granddad introduced me to the other half of the crowd. The remaining lot asked who I was. That’s how I added those many faces in my mind, all in one day. I don’t remember their names individually nor do I recall how they are related. Some of them had interesting stories to tell about me. The kid they had seen years back who was all grown now. It was a fun conversation with some knowing about their experiences and their life tales and with some I wanted to take a rain check the moment they started talking.

We learn in every step of our life and are constantly engaging in something or the other, improving skills and always on a lookout for better opportunities. Each of our experiences is different in each phase of life. These encounters teach us something new, to help us grow. The people around us, the circumstances that we have been in, the lessons that we are taught, and many other experiences shapes and defines us.

I am trying to be strong and hold myself up so I can be there with everybody around. I know each one of us is missing him in our own ways.

Imagine a scenario where you are having an amazing life with everything falling in place, your love life is better than ever, and you adore every bit of it. You are practical in love and while making decisions about your future, the prospect of being with that special person seems perfect.

We all have that phase in our life when we are super busy. The weekdays pass so fast that the weekends are back again, making us feel like it was yesterday. This also happens when we plan our year in January with the list of things to be done throughout, and realize that we are already in the last quarter of the year, finishing only two things from the scroll.
