“You’re so far away from me
You’re so far, I just can’t see” Dire Straits https://share.google/95Wojowwbsii3k6FE
After 53 days, we were together again. Service life is as such, 2026 has been so happening, my transfer to Corporate Office, located at the capital city of my country, my wife’s transfer to the capital city of my state, all this within a month and it was so hectic that we didn’t get enough time to be sad, but just went on to get separated due to work, our means of livelihood.
It was a one night trip and as I landed, the outside rain made it more romantic and also nostalgic. As I passed through the known landscape, days spent during my student days, I was impatient to reach to my better half.
God was always there, and I am grateful that even after the heavy showers, water logging which has become so common these days in this city, we sailed through smoothly and I reached on time.
A cup of black coffee with Pitha made by her was the added pleasure. My brother called and informed that he is coming for lunch with his wife, cooking my favourite dish, which I miss so much in my new place of work.
As there was time, we decided to go to a nursery to buy some saplings, so that I can plant them along with the ones that I have brought. So we visited the old famous nursery, but unluckily the flowering creepers we were looking for was unavailable and only one was available. The price was unbelievable, dejected we came out and just saw a makeshift nursery with their plants being displayed in the footpath. A bit skeptical, we went inside to be greeted with warm by two persons. As rain began to pour, they offered their chairs for us. Surprisingly we found most of our requirements there except one and few other varieties too. Good people are difficult to find but when you find them you have to just appreciate them. I am so grateful to have found them and their warm, respectful nature made it so enjoyable, we didn’t have to bargain, the owner offered some very useful tips and prevented us from buying certain manure, which were recommended in social media, even he could have been benefitted. May God bless them.
The lunch was stupendous, enjoying it together with near and dear ones is another added spice. A long gossip and after a simple dinner it is bed time.
We spoke about life, the emptiness, compulsions and way forward. Sometimes you have give time, time to heal, time pass by and look out for the positivity only. Easier said than done.
The need for us is to relook, rethink and reinvent. Time waits for none, some sacrifices are to be made, before it’s too late.
We believe that what God has done for us has done for our good and what will happen will also happen for good.
There has to be a balance between money, work and life.
Separation even temporary, is painful, maybe God is testing us and we definitely will survive, we believe that we will overcome and come out with flying colours…
As I pen my feelings in my flight to my place of work, I am so grateful to God that I am blessed…
In my return flight, the seats near me are vacant and I am so thankful and grateful…
God always has surprises and plans for you.
