Ghar !

On Leave K
No Office J

As a holiday routine, trying to talk to everyone in the family. Still in blanket, started punching keys from my cell.
PapaJi… not seniority-wise J… hadn’t talked to him since he reached our hometown yesterday. Cell.. congested network. Landline.. not picked. Tried younger sis. Not picked L. Tried Di… picked J. She n Jiju had just reached their place.. all busy and tired.. had a short call.

Mom..trying again and again ..but it seems the network congestion is not going to clear today L. Bhai is in office, so not disturbing him.

Had there not been a cell phone…. cannot even imagine now a days. Thank God its there.. got the calls back from Papa and sis J.

Just happen to recall the time around 10 years back. We the family used to stay together, all of us in our beautiful (for us it’s been way more than that!) home. We used to go to school/college/office, whichever applicable and then gather for evening tea discussing all what happened the whole day. No need of cell phones.


Our studies, jobs and marriage made us to stay apart and grow electronic.
Not bad at all the time that is; but wonderful the time that was !!

The Mom made food, own room, own bed. For me, nothing could beat that cozy feeling.
