Time is the longest distance between two places. ~Tennessee Williams
It seems like just yesterday, when I bid a farewell to my home Sweet Home - Pune.
And I think I will always remember that day, when I could see my parents through that glass barrier..... and it seemed like eternity when I would ever see them again....
These 10 months seem to pass like years. And now I am waiting to see them...
When we have someone in our lives, we don't seem to realize what they could mean to us... But when there's even a slight separation, we seem to feel their absence in our lives.
This phase is the worst.... when we're torn between two minds...
When my mind says it won't be possible, but my heart says something else...
And the dilemma seems never ending...
There are a few people who mean the world to me, and they are far away from me. But, even though we are countries apart, it doesn't make a difference to us.
It just takes a phone call, and it seems as though nothing ever changed. I love that feeling when you pick up the phone, and someone on the other end goes like, " Where the hell have you been! ..." and that's how it all starts...
But, it's very interesting to note, that where distance never affects those few golden relations, some seem to fade away, even when there's no distance involved.
Either there is some misunderstanding, or something else goes wrong.
And then, one day when you sit down to think about it, you can't even figure out why people drifted away.
I always read this somewhere or the other, (I'm sure you all have heard of this one)
' Time heals all wounds'.
Well, some may agree, and some may not.
My version of this is slightly different.
" Time heals all wounds.... BUT it always leaves behind scars.."
We all hope for a bright future, but at the same time, somewhere or the other, there's always one part of our past that weighs on our mind. It could be a failed relationship, or something you felt was left undone...could be anything.
We love our present, but somewhere we still have regrets regarding certain things in our life.
This journey for me taught me one thing. The clock is never going to stop, so if you have to say something, say it. If you have to do something, do it; Because you never know when that time passes, and that incident becomes something in your life that becomes a unfinished past........
Distances bring people together and also lets you unveil your best and genuine gestures and qualities . Its a Home away from Home back here in States ... !!! ;)
