Today’s prompt is a emotional one to write about, ” What do you miss? (a person, a thing, a place, a time of your life…)”
I miss my birthplace Ratnagiri, Maharashtra, India. Although I can say, California resembles Ratnagiri in terms of natural beauty, but of course not the warmth Ratnagiri provides me with. I miss my mom and dad, my two-wheeler Activa that I would drive around the town, and the days I would spend home with parents when I would come home for vacation. I miss the simple, home-cooked meals my mom would prepare for me. I miss chatting with my parents all night, reciting them funny and adventurous incidents from my hostel, creating a music playlist with current bollywood hits, dancing hip-hop style to peppy numbers. I miss my fights with my younger brother-all the hitting, kicking, punching and pinching! I miss my granfather Mr. Mohanshet who left us way to early. I cannot begin to tell what a dynamic, fun-loving personality he was! I don’t really think, I can express fully how much I miss everything related to what I said above. As I don’t want to tear up myself and people who’d be reading this post, to make this post a little funny I would like to say something in Sharukh Khan Style…
Mere garden mein ma ke saath woh chai peena
Mera dukaan mein jaake woh shrikant ka vada pav khana
Mere bhai ke saath woh zagde karna, use har baat par ‘gadheda’ kehna
Nahi bhoolongi mein
Jab tak hein jaan, jab tak hein jaan, jab tak hein jaan 😀 😀
