Be it a friend meeting you after years of distance, or a relative coming to you from long decades of silence. Pretty surprising are such moments for its punch of warmth and the scent of life.
Unluckily, such things are not too often in life. As, we prefer to live to meet our needs or ever-expanding demands of life, rather than satisfying our longing for liveliness!!
Although it came as a surprise, I could experience the ‘pleasure of reinventing’ last week

Although it came as a surprise, I could experience the ‘pleasure of reinventing’ last week
!! Again, the quest for liveliness in life has something to do with it, as the quest had taken me, living in Delhi, to the beautiful, cool southern city of Bangalore in the weekend.
There, on the lazy morning of Sunday, I received a call from Kannan, my relative – he comes as my younger brother – that he is coming to meet me. I, although being elder to him just missed to enquire whether he and his spouse are well or not, even as a formality!
As we met, his affection made me visiting his home. After relaxing some time in his house, Kannan & Rashmi took me to visit the famous Lalbagh gardens. They left only after enthralling me with the delicious Mysore Masala Dosai and droping me at my freind's house, which is far away from the main city.
In between, we discussed about our parents, about music - ya, Kannan is a good singer too – and many other things!!! I could also give him something, which are precious to me – Ghazals of Mehdi Hassan, Ghulam Ali and Jagjit Singh.
I realize that it is the quest to rediscover and reinvent relationships is the key to pleasure. A phone call from someone I met almost six years before was instrumental in reaffirming my belief in this aspect.
