Arjun has been away from home for years- when he left for college.
I have not lived with him for this long- for 7 years nearly, though we did meet often.
Every time I see him, he is different, and that does not stop surprising me.
When my parents told me to spend some time with Arjun, maybe just cook for him, my immediate response was- "Tish Tosh".
But they still know what I need- better than I do, quite often.
Surprisingly, I am enjoying doing that and the many other things which I have not done for him for a long time and he seems to enjoy it.
The impatience with someone in his way is gone.
You bring forth a tiny being, take care, nurture and then behold the miracle of seeing a boy be a man. He has a home and I like being here. So much that the idea of returning weighs heavy on my heart. But
Home they say, is where the heart is, and I am keeping mine with me henceforth.......
