Another New Year.
As usual, my annual post. This year I didn't forget as last year. Though there is not much to write, I am not breaking that routine, one post every new year day and no other post in the whole year. Interesting. Isn't it?
Today's morning walk is over. My mind is calm.
Sitting alone in the cool dark shaded corner of the park, I was recollecting the happenings of the last 12 months.. One whole year has passed without him. My life has changed much.
Never in my dreams I had thought of living in a place than my small village.
But see, I was in two metropolitan cities this year itself. The first three months of the year in Kerala, the next 4 months in Chennai, and the last 5 months here in Bangalore. Life everywhere is the same with happiness, worries, tensions...
Not like Chennai, I am happy here.
As my daughter says, "amma will get some aged friends wherever you go", in my village, though it was Seethamani akka, in Trichur, it was Devi chechi, and now here it is Raji (though there is no akka or maami, she is 65 years).
She will be there in the park even before I start my walking. Very slowly she completes 5 or six rounds, and will wait for me. We will sit there in the shade under the tree for some time and talk. I will only be a mere listener. Actually what she wants is the same, somebody to open up her mind. Some days suddenly she will ask me why can't we today eat our breakfast out. We will have one onion dosa and vada from the Dosa Kadai. I am happy that I could give her a little happiness.
Life goes smoothly without much problems. My mind is so relaxed, calm and serene, without much tensions, without any big expectations, and looking forward to the days to come.
