Four years at NYU passed away like a hurricane. Although at times, when I thought of my parents, it seemed like ages. It was finally time for me to return to India. I am 26 now. Will you believe it if I tell you that I still have no friends except Benji and Chashmish? Well you got to believe it because that is the truth. Its main reason may be that I always maintained a slight distance from the world. At times I think, is it right? Whatever I am doing, is it right? And then all I do is just push such thoughts to the back of my mind. All those times when I felt lonely, I took to the strings of my guitar and let my emotions flow, thinking about my parents, Benjamin and Gunjan, and "pop", my loneliness vanished like a bubble. Now, I am happy and I think that my life IS VERY CLOSE to being perfect.😃😉
I can see your gears working, thinking hard ' Why only Benji? Why not Gunjan too? Well the answer is that Chashmish has just started college and I don't think that disturbing her right now is a good idea'😒okay; I know it's a very lame reason. So the real reason as to why I won't meet her now is that I don't have the guts to face her yet.
So here I am in Lucknow, sitting in a cafe, waiting for Benjamin and gulping down coffee to kill time.
"Samrat Shergill, right?"
I look up and there he is, right in front of me with the love of his life (and my yet to be Sister-in-law😉😛) Dia. Benji was such a big dope that he had to take my help to even start talking to Dia.😆
