People are leaving in numbers and you feel odd for some time and then you move on. What choice do you have anyway! These days when I go upstairs for lunch, I don't even feel like looking around because there is hardly anyone I can recognise even if I do. You build acquaintances over the years, you become friendly with some, you have a good working relationship with others and when they leave, you become upset. With some of them, I suspect it's only because it is going to put you into some inconvenience but with others, you feel bad because you'll just miss seeing them around. But of course I can't expect people to stay back just to say Hi to me and so life goes on.
Rishi asked me yesterday if God existed and if so, what proof was there for that. I said while I personally believed in God, he was free to choose for himself. Probably I would've given a defensive answer but he kind of caught me off-guard. Though he religiously adorns the photos with flowers and garlands, makes sure to light the lamp everyday and draws pictures of Ganesha etc., I had suspected that this question would come some day.
Rishi, by the way, is happier these days. We fulfilled his wish of seeing around Hyderabad this time by visiting some of the places in his textbook - Golkonda Fort, Charminar, Salar Jung Museum and Mecca Masjid, albeit in a single day. I was thrilled to see Golkonda somehow, though it's my second visit and the time was woefully short. Charminar gave us some anxious moments thanks to the narrow, dark and steep staircase and also made me sad just to look around. Wonder how the landscape would've been once upon a time!
