What I Miss

The stay at the States though sizzling leaves me with sad memories of things which I enjoyed while at India but miss them badly here !! The fresh tea from mom tops the list eliminating all contestants. As soon as I get up, I used to walk up straight to the kitchen and grab a cup of tea and those awesome Britannia Marie biscuits. Then comes the daily edition of the famous 'The Hindu'. I have spent so many mornings deeply engrossed into this popular daily. The ride on my Kawasaki. Though it's not a bike with high power engine or enticing accessories, I feel nostalgic when I get memories of my bike. I also miss the daily morning ride on it during which I drop my dad at the station.

The bus trip to my college deserves a special mention here. Though it's only a 20 minute journey from my home it's just an awesome ride with friends. The trip is even more exciting when we are returning from college after any function at the campus. The bus used to thunder with sudden claps and also resonate with musical melodies. The colony in which I lived has some evergreen memories attached to it. My neighbours who always ensured my wellness until I was there, I miss them a lot. The badminton ground is a cool place to hang out for me almost from the last semester of my college till I left to US. There used to be people of all ages thronging this place and it was so good to be there in the evening.

Well, I am deeply missing my friends. There are no words to describe how bad I miss them. The farewell at the airport still stands as a framed picture in my mind. Actually I never expected so many people to come and was simply moved by the gesture. I just felt I am so lucky to be blessed with a bunch of nice buddies. There were also friends who wished through phone and I am ever thankful for their wishes. These are no formal statements because I am saying this from my heart after realizing how much they mean to me.

My mom and dad. I just can't express the way I am missing them. My mom used to sacrifice all her happiness so many times just to satisfy me. Of course nobody could find a noble heart than his/her mother. I am too blessed to be a son of such a kind mom. She was not just my mom but my all time friend, listener and pacifier of my worries. In short she was a part of me ! My dad. He was and continues to be the guiding lamp of my career. Always wished that I stayed top of every competition. I wish those small fights with my dad. We used to argue on lot many issues. I miss all my relatives especially my grand parents and my uncle. But, life needs to go on and memories are the fuel that keep the journey perpetual !!
