It has been almost a year since we last went home to India and these past couple of months have been a bit tough as I am really missing everything ......my children, the family,food, malls , movies, shopping and also the noise, the crowds and the whole package that is India...my country. The place to which I belong and which belongs to me...
Now finally our visas are stamped, Vipin's leave sanctioned and we are due to fly out on 21st of this month. I am really really looking forward to our trip.

Togetherness
Togetherness...
What a beautiful word!!
A word that brings to mind a sense of security, pleasure and warmth.
Being together....
That is how we were meant to be.
A group of different people or objects put together becomes strong, solid and noticeable.
A flower by itself is beautiful but combined with other flowers and ferns it becomes a bouquet......a decoration, a gift and an expression of good wishes.
A tree provides blossom, fruit and shade, but a collection of them becomes a forest....impregnable and a habitat for wildlife.
A hill looks grand and solid but a number of them put together become a range....insurmountable and a protective wall against the forces of nature.
A star twinkles and guides travelers during the night, but a multitude of them forms a galaxy....magnificent and awesome.
A house is an abode but many houses set together in a planned and homogenized way becomes a colony...secure and lively.
A person is an individual, important and special, but living together with their kin they become a family...close, bonded and fulfilled.
Certainly togetherness is power......
The power to free from loneliness, fear and worry.
But togetherness does not mean cramping.
It means being in harmony with each other, so that each component flourishes and grows to it’s full potential with encouragement from the others, without being overshadowed and stunted due to infringement of space!
