This morning I had a weird dream, a dream which made me exhausted and tensed. However, opening my eyes was a great relief, the feeling that whatever I have witnessed was just a dream is priceless!
I spent the last10 years of my life with my sister(cousin) sharing the same room. She was in India to finish her graduation. Time takes it turn and now we both are miles apart. She used to return home late after her evening classes and I used to eagerly wait for her.
Today in my dream I saw one such usual days when I was waiting for her in the evening. But she didn't return, her phone wasn't reachable, I tried calling every possible person in her friend circle but there was no I could reach her. I was devastated.
I believe there are moments like these when we value the ones we love. This dream made me realize how being out of sight results in one being out of mind. I felt awful about living such a life. What is the point in living a life when one is just bothered and concerned about work all the time?
I questioned myself whether I am working to live or living in order to work? I got an instant answer and I immediately called her up.
It was the best conversation ever. We were reminded of the moments when we laughed for no reason and spend whole Sunday watching back to back movies. Staying awake to study and dozing off in between. Then waking each other only to realize its already morning!
I miss the good old days. There were times when my mother used to say, "Five of us(she, her two siblings and parents) used to dine together and now we all are at five different places of the world." As kids we never paid any attention to it unless we experienced the same.
If there is someone whom you know is lost in this crowded world, let them know you remember and cherish the memories/moments you shared with them. Or if you are the one who is lost, I believe it is time for you to take time out for yourself, after all we all are working in order to live and not otherwise.
Thanks for reading.
Wish you a wonderful week ahead.
