Char Saal Baad…

I have always been a family man, and the most cherished memories of my life still remain the one with my lovely family. And recently, after four long years, my brother Niketu and sis-in-law flew from Melbourne to my home town!

I also made sure to take time out from my busy schedule to spend time with my loved ones. And what a reunion it was! They say that distance makes us love more, and I finally realised the truth behind it.

Everyone was there; my mom, dad, bro and sis-in-law. Me and my brother have come a long way in life, from traveling to school on bicycles to now travelingin beautiful cars with our beautiful wives :)

Times have changed .. yet my brother is still the same. The love has stayed; along with our fondness for cricket :)

And of course we played cricket in the gully with our old friends, which made me nostalgic. After all, how many times we get to re-live our childhood? “It’s great to see my little brother grow” I thought with fondness, realising that even I have grown. We both may have matured, but we still argue over silly things like kids. We drove around the city and ate at our favourite restaurants.

On hindsight, I realise how lucky I am to be able to have such times with my family. I will treasure these moments close to my heart for the rest of my life!

Loads of love,
