The reunion concept had me discussing the same when a friend of mine drew parallels to their own reunion. He shared that they had felicitated the lady who mattered most to them in their young days - the one who would guide them and had even washed their bottoms. Aamir Khan's bottoms up in Three Idiots popped up in my mind. The comment from a follower that friendship was a two way traffic on the previous blog also set me thinking. Undoubtedly in both the scenarios that I had shared it had brought smiles to the persons concerned.
Probably, the follower mistook my discomfiture to my perceptions on socialising. The thought was more for the newly wed couple who are put through an arduous ritual in the name of religion followed by a reception wherein except for the first few moments, they are not even permitted to sit. In fact, thanks to economics, the receptions of late are held in advance on the previous evening followed by the traditional wedding. Of late, I have had occasion to share the inner feelings of many to be married fellas. Their romance brims through and seems to overflow. Why do we not allow these young fellas a few moments of peace? We also follow this up with another spate of invites for luncheons to shower our affection in the form of culinary delights. Wish this honeymoon extended for their whole lifetime that they could actually spend the intimacy which they so desire without bothering about the next cuisine to be rattled up.
At least till they are bestowed with the joys of cradling a young one. That takes us back to the bottoms of the younger days, I was reminded of our own people in life who still manage to shower affection on us irrespective of our ageing. We also do not have our blushes as we would much later in life. On one such occasion the lady in question spotted me in a crowded bus stop, came up, held me by my cheeks and took a wrap up of the events between two meetings and rebuked me for not dropping in frequently. A treasure of a relationship which even the teacher cannot rival. Yes, we have had so many days but we never have a nanny's day or in our local lingo ayah's day. They remain in each student's hearts forever. Let us felicitate them everyday and every moment!!! Thanks buddy for taking me back to those memorable days!

Good evening! How are u? My comment on ur previous post of yesterday, was regarding ur dilemma considering the act of ur friends during the ground breaking ceremony. When two persons know each other and desire anything to be done by the other person which gives them happiness, there is nothing wrong in doing it. If u have done that ritual as desired by them, I am ensured that they will have good luck and success, so u can be assured of that. I only meant that any relationship in our life is mutual and reciprocative. Generally we are bent to give what we have received from others by our experience. Only few people around us genuinely wish for us. And when they desire anything from us, I think that we CAN do it, without any dilemma. KEEP WRITING ! MY BEST WISHES TO U !
