As the tears rolled down ..I sat upon the
staircase..after a days work..I wasn't headed home..I just had to sit
down..somewhere alone
You are hit by the pangs of lonliness wen you hav an
intense desire..to talk ..to share your happiness.. Something good had
happened.. I did have an achievement but whom do you share it with..
The girls ..yes they are there.. they are the reason..but
dont u want a hand to hold on to sometimes..
I shed the gloom and headed home...it was early
evening..midway, I called home and told mavshi to get the girls ready.. We'll
go the beach..I asked her not to.cook dinner...
As I rang the door-bell I could hear Ag cry out loud
announcing my arrival..Lily too was widely grinning.. The girls loved
surprises.. I called them around and said "Papa's got a good salary hike
and so we're celebrating" ..
Ag had her usual "Yay" before she rushed to get
her beach toys...
Lil came around and hugged me, she knew what it meant and
how much.."congrats daddy, we're proud of you" .. My eyes were full..
I looked at her and said " so am I Lil.. Now get ready quickly ..I'll too
change and it's beach time" .. I kissed her forehead and let her go..
At the beach.. Ag built her usual castles and palaces ...
Lil with chappals in her hand walked on the wet shore..collecting some sea
shells here and there.. I too let go and stretched myself on the sand...
For dinner we had pav-bhaji, chaats and the golas - our
common favorite...
Later as we walked back.. I could hear Lil explain Ag how
the waves were formed .. About high tides and low tides...
So is life I wanted to tell them..sometimes you are high
other times you are low... But you never back down...
And so the day was celebrated.. I finally did adopt being
at peace as a way of life...
