An email to you

Dear Namu


I didn’t know how to begin. My lappie open in front of me, I thought of you and smiled. There was drastic change in you. No longer ‘why me?’ attitude, you had a new mantra now. ‘yes…so what’

It is not that you had a hunky dory life. Infact of all the persons I have seen you seemed to have suffered most on all fronts. Work-home. Personal and professional. You faced a lot of battles and had a lot of betrayals. I wondered sometimes how do you survive. But today I saw you and had to admit, its you who brought that missing care in my life. “appreciate life” is what you said. You nudging me to explore, forging me to move ahead, never budging and give even failure a best shot and move ahead. I have written about most of the people who matter to me, but somehow you always slipped out. Maybe my thoughts were destined to be typed today. “you made my weekend” I said. And maybe even you wont understand how much I meant it. I was unable to face end of the year, not much laughter and joke around, but you taught me to appreciate and improvise. “this is life and its seldom fair.” Is what you seemed to have told me. I smiled again and I could see my reflection in DELL inspiron. My eyes had got back the lustre. The shine. Thanks for the magic Nams.
