Tsunamis of Life

(continued from previous posted dated 2nd March '06)
Every once in a while, few events occur that seem to change our
world topsy turvy, but then, given the resilience of the human spirit,
rebuilding process begins soon after. Over a period of time, I was
privy to this painful exercise in her life. It left her with very little
time to engage in online leisure and even the flow of mails reduced
to a faint trickle, eventually left to dry up in the sands of time.


kband - Perhaps i had told u earlier about our plans to go to Kolkata
once daughter's summer vacations begin. Well the time has come
now to pack our bags and get homeward bound...for two weeks. It
would have been nice if we could have met before i left, but guess
everybody's got their set of plans...anyway, hope to c u or perhaps
hear from you on my return. till then, take care.



sim - I do remember u mentioning to me that u are going to be away
for couple of weeks but didn't realise that it's that time now. Aap
hame pehele bata dete toh hum aap se mulaquaat karte. Pata nahi
kaise din guzar rahe hain bas shukar karte hain ke sehat ke saath
guzar rahe hain. Well I hope u have a nice and safe holidays and hope
to see u on ur return.



kband - Its life as usual again, now that I'm back in Delhi. This time
our annual break was comparatively brief, so when we came back,
everybody was longing for more. Most of all, our daughter, who has
to spend another month alone at home till her school reopens.
Earlier we had allowed her to stay on with grandparents, but with
her increased load in the new class, felt it fit to get her back along
with us. So how are u doing? and how are the kids and everybody
else? Hope ur biz has kept u suitably and meaningfully occupied.
Look forward to meeting u online at ur convenience, bye.



sim - It's been ages since we last chatted....I honestly wonder where
the time is going. Days, weeks and months are passing aimlessly it
seems. I need to get a grip on this and learn to enjoy which I have
forgotten how to. Khair, hope to see u online one of these days. How
are things at ur end. It's nice to see that u managed some time out....
it's always fun to visit family. I am sure ur daughter wud have
preferred a longer stay as grandparents are known to spoil the
grandchildren. So how is it like to get back to work after vacation.....
(u look forward to the next one...lol). Well take care and do write
back. I love reading ur emails.



kband - It may be quite possible that i've faded away from ur
memory, particularly as u have to undergo such a lot throughout
the day and may not have sufficient strength left to login late at
night to rejig those grey cells.....its a phenomenon i'm coming to
terms with these days - out of 'site' out of mind. but why have u
stopped replying to my mail? beats me. Nothing much to report
from my end, except daughter's school has reopened y'day so we're
back to our daily routine. our office server remains frequently down
of late, so it may well be that u login at msn yet i remain painfully
oblivious of that fact. may i suggest that at least once in a fortnight,
pls show up (even 10 mins with u would do wonders to my spirit!)...
and lest i miss u inadvertently, kindly alert me in a mail few days
in advance abt when u would be logging in.....askin for too much?
how abt doing that next week, then? eagerly awaiting a line from u
abt which date to flag on my calendar....kissi nazar ko tera intezaar
aaj bhi hai.......



sim - Hum aapko kaise bhool sakte hain....aapka khayal hume akser
aata hai. Bas pata nahi din kaise guzar rahe hain. Khair yeh baatein
hum aap se mil ker karenge. It's nice to know that things are fine at
ur end. I haven't been feeling too well lately hence every little thing
seems cumbersome. Though I logged in couple of times but I didn't
see u. I wish I can tell u in advance when to meet but the way my
schedule changes everyday at times I am left scrambling. Neverthe-
less I will see u on tuesday morning ur time......hope u are able to
come online. If and only if for some reason I am unable to come
online I will see u the next day. Until then take care and thanks for
not letting this friend 'out of mind'.

***********************************************************
Haftay guzar ja rahe hain aap se mulaqaat kiye.....lagta hai aap hame
bhool gaye hain. How are things at ur end? I have been very busy
with the sale of the house......finally it went on the market last week
and since then there has been a flow of sales agent bringing in
prospective clients. This means any spare time there is utilized in
making sure that the house is spic and span..lol. I am hoping and
praying that it sells for the asking price.
Aap kabhi toh hamare liye waqt nikaliye. Hum jab bhi aap se milte
hain the server is so slow that we hardly get a chance to have a
proper chat. It is so frustrating to wait for the reply and long b4 u
know it two or three hours have passed. Khair hopefully one of
these days we will get a break :))).



kband - Here's wishing you and your family a wonderful and joyous
year ahead!



sim - It was wonderful chatting with you after such a long time. How
is the new year starting out? For me I am finding my way around
and getting into some form of routine. Kids are back to school after
two weeks of holidays and mez busy trying to make a house a
home :)))....whoever said moving is easy......gosh.
Well drop a line when u get a chance.....you have a way with writing
that makes one feel very welcomed and I cherished that.
