Back from Mumbai. The trip was good. I guess I took Ashish's comment of relaxing way too seriously. Slept like a maniac. I am sure my parents got an impression that I work way too much out here to get any sleep ... hehehehe
No matter what, I still fell so much comfortable in that colony of ours. Its like my own. I guess that's because I have spend most of the time there. I met some of my old friends. After almost an year. It was great. Everyone seems to have changed a bit. Some for good. Its nice to see those people who had such naive and narrow opinions opening up to the realities of the world. Or is it that I have changed and that's why I perceived them differently. Whatever it may have been. It was a good balance.
But there is one thing which I have been thinking ever since I came back. Infact I was talking to a friend of mine about it. She brought up a very interesting point. She said, we change when we stay away from our parents. We find it different when we go back home now. We feel a bit weird. Is it the same for our parents? Do they feel a bit different when we are around after such long periods of time? I always used to think that parents never change. But after she brought up this point, I was a little confused. Isn't it that they also settle down in a kind of a routine which is altered when we come down. I wonder....

good point. I guess they too change quite a bit -- just that we will always be their "little boys and girls" no matter what!!

I guess parents change in the sense that they find it difficult to accept that our attitude towards them has changed. Guess I will find out soon though.

don't know - have been away from home for about four years now and whenever go back home, i couldn't find anything that has changed.. as if someone froze life when i left last time and it is microwave fresh when i return.. the hair get a little more gray every year but the love in their eye is much the same..

i still have a hard time convincing my mom that i don't want to drink milk.. i want her to understand that i have grown (a little atleast).. :)

Interesting point about parents also changing in our absence. Never thought of it that way..
