A quiet return
One fine day she was not there anymore.
I am coming back to my blog after more than two years and what years!!! My whole world turned upside down in these last two years but i have only emerged stronger and much more loved than before.
One of my best friends decided to leave all of us, her loving parents, friends, all of a sudden. Very-very bad of her but all of us have forgiven her. She is such a loving child that no one could remain angry with her for such a long time. But every day i wish you were here with me Sou so that I don’t have to remember you.
Then some tragic things happened at home but we have only got stronger – the big rock that my mother is and the bigger and stronger foundation that my dad provided all of us but especially her, his wife/partner/best friend/travel companion/room mate/agony aunt of 30 years, keeping his promise of being there in sickness and in health.
And now here I am today, two years down the line, happy and contended (almost...the excuse of we r humans, blah, blah).
Delhi is getting more and more polluted day by day but my love-hate relationship with this great city is somehow sustaining me, making me continue in the city i want to leave the moment i get a chance.
But the love of my life is here, how could I leave. My sisters have found a niche for themselves in this big bad city. I hate to say it but it has become a second ‘home’ now, no matter how much i want to deny it. So i am giving myself some time to see for how long this flirting continues. May be i will develop a lifelong relationship with Delhi, who knows.
But my relationship with words continue, and thank god for that. My books keep me company, they are my best friends, making my metro commute easier and filling and aiding the silence that i enjoy so much after being away from home for so many years.
PS: Some of my best, beautiful friends got married during these two years to wonderful boys, who are now handsome, responsible men. Here’s to the wonderful partnership these ladies have formed with these gentlemen par excellence. Wishing them a very happy married life .

tenz hw come i never knew that u had a blog???!! anyhow, you are forgiven. i knw hw it feels to be on a love-hate relationship with the city that you eventually have to call home. i wud nt hv ever thought that i wud be settling (if thats wat i have done) dwn in chd. and nw i dnt want to leave this city and go anywhere else. my reasons vary from chunn will get best of education here to i somewhat like being here for the seasons' unmatched hues.
dilli is a great city. i love it for the kindness it brought in to my life when i was struggling to find a foothold. people and nt the place, i often think, make for memories but i associate my memories of dilli with a lot of places, kalibari temple, ywca hostel, gole market, a particular Barista in CP etc
i am happy to knw that couple of crucial years and u hv emerged stronger. being a yr or two elder to u, i will tk the opportunty to sermonise. so my dear dear friend, this time that you have isthe best one in your life. use it to the fullest to learn, excel, do things that you love/like.
arr...the comment is turning in to a letter of sorts, but what the heck. i dnt really hv a lot of ppl in life to look up to but u are amongst the rare species.
so much more to convey but i will use some another mode.
at last remember always
you are a special person and i love you. cheers!!
