Just bid a second farewell to my younger brother...he'd left a year and a half back for further studies, and was back for his first vacation with us. It was still heart rending, but I guess having had him come back once, it is now easier to believe that we will all see him soon.
I guess my biggest fear (before he came back) was about how much things will change. They did....he's certainly matured, but what's great is that nothing's changed in his equation with any of us. It was a lovely, fulfilling reunion.
And I guess there lies my latest lesson. Relationships, I feel, can be of many types - some are created out of habit, some out of situations, and some are relationships of the soul. While the first two types of relationships can change with time and experiences, the third will never change. How many of us have friends like that - you could be meeting after ages, but you can pick up right where you left off.
And therein, I think, lies the secret of giving (and having) space in our relationships. If it is a true bonding of the souls, we won't drift apart. We'll (having been enriched by our learnings and experiences) only enrich the relationship more.
Hmmm....

Hello world!
Another day, another blog is created :-). Will it connect, will it make me friends, will it entertain...for me to try and you to see!
Courtesies first...28 year old, female technical writer, living in the fiesty city of Bombay (sue me for still calling it that!!). Happily married for over six years now, and still loving it (no apologies!!). Confirmed desi, love roadside food, can read in my sleep, and am happiest when setting out to travel...'nuff said!
Have always been reticent about writing - though writers and their creations have probably been my greatest preoccupations. Guess I kept waiting for something unique to say...then I grew up :-). It's all been done already, hasn't it...thought of, said, explained, lived. So now I've decided to still go ahead and say things...in my own words. Hoping I'll connect with like-minded souls and engage in some mind-broadening (or bending!) exchanges.
Why this particular title? Coz I really believe it. Of course I love my material posessions (flaunt them too ;-)), but everything about and around me that allows me to enjoy it so, has been free.
So that's it for my first foray...for any one who's read so far, thanks for your time! I have a feeling I'm going to find this addictive (if you thought garrulous, you thought right!!)...so will be back soon for sure!
Until then, ciao!
