We were not together when I first saw the world on July 29th. You had come three days before me. I do not remember my association with you in my early childhood. You might be knowing better than me. I do remember when I realized you as part of my life in that sleepy afternoon of June 1980, the day you brought me luck, sheer luck, a feeling so rare and so fulfilling. I looked back and stretched my fragile memory, I saw you, and there you were with me in another day of bygone time, in a drowsy afternoon of June 1978.you had brought me luck, sheer luck then too. Alas, I realized looking at me scornfully that it had taken two years for me to see your love and care for me and your association with me. If I could have stretched my memory a little more, perhaps beyond 1978, I am sure, I should have seen there with me many more times. I know you love me. I am sure you love me.
It is irony of life that one misses very soon when one gets. One cries very soon when one laughs. One goes very soon when one comes. It is not really so soon but we feel it is so for the time appears to squeeze itself in pleasure of "getting", "laughing" and "coming". You left. I searched. I looked for you here and there. I looked for you in the shoe stands before I entered into a temple. I too looked for you in the vehicle stand before I entered into a shopping mall or a theatre hall. No, I did not get you. You were with somebody. But I missed you. I do not know where you went. But I am sure you were with somebody.
Many days passed. I did not get you. But not for a moment did I forget you. Time slapped me on my face and called me fool. But I remain cool as somebody inside me sang and sang a song, you will come, you will come and you will come???!!!
Yes, you came and came back like a homing pigeon again in a drowsy and sultry afternoon. I do not know why you like afternoon but all I know, for me, you only come in the afternoon. The whisper of air kissed me aloud when I saw you there smiling and sitting pretty on the pillar of my new house. For three long years, on every occasion I saw you there smiling and waiving as I go out and come in. And ultimately one day I left that house. You were there, smiling and bidding an adieu. I too smiled for I knew you would follow me soon.
But I did not know how soon will be that soon or how late will be that soon! But I knew you will come back soon in one afternoon. But this time you came in a sunny noon. But I did not know how I could live nine long years without you. You had brought a gift big and lovely. It was really lovely, lovely and lovely. You did not stay but you left. I wondered and wondered, pondered and pondered. When? When?? When??? But I called and cried. Come again! Come again!! Come again!!!
The search inside me grew and flew. I found you soon. You are already there. I went I stayed there along with you. It was a lovely stay together, each moment of it I cherish till date. Time and duty called me again to move and I moved leaving behind you, your presence, your love, your love care, but I carried the memories of all, ecstasy and agony, loving and quarreling and struggling and winning laced with whimpering and smiling. Five long years of staying together had taught me enough. I did not look back when I left for I knew you will be there with me wherever I am and if we are made for each other, I should not measure distance and departure. We are always together!
Nine years passed again but you remained as memories. I did tumble and rumble because your memories alone were not enough for me. But you came again with a promise to talk to me always and listen to me always and since then you are with me. But your concerned for me forced you to diagnose me bisecting and dissecting. You introduced to me a wonderful world with wonderful people with smiling hearts to care and share. Again you are today with me when I completed one year living in the new world with my new friends. But I know you were with me, are with me and will be with me, always, forever and together till I say and bid a final adieu. For you are my life and lover.
