Voices

'You didn't know what you were looking for
Till you heard the voices in your ear..'

& so goes the song. '..I fell in love with you again.. Please can I see you ev'ry day'.

Its just some voices, some sights that take you back once again to the time you miss somewhere deep down. There are certain patterns of life that you grow up with. For me it was listening to Mukesh sing Ramayana early in the morning. It was my dad's ritual but slowly i found myself humming to it unconsciously. It was always there within me. I outgrew those days of getting ready for school. The cassettes outlived their days and just like that the pattern lost its continuity. Today after so many years my morning again had the Ramayana playing just like yesteryears. I didn't know that I was seeking it all along but when I heard the singing I felt the joy of discovering it.

There are so many things that we seek from life. Some that we are aware of and a good many that we are not even aware of. We realize it only when we accidentally stumble upon it someday. They were always so much within our reach if only we had known that we wanted them all along. The joy of reconnecting with the old and dear is inexplicable.

Then there is the other stuff. The things you seek and do not get. The connections that just lose their touch. The things that you really seek and the things you seek because everyone wants. The things you really bond over and connect and things you fake.

The quest continues always :)
