Internet issues so got delayed.
Nisha, thank you for clarifying RANJAN'S stance.
It is said that we become who we choose to be every single day. We can choose our behavior no matter how certain inherent traits may be. I kind of feel that Ranjan has turned into this person by way of practice. He's learnt to love from afar. He would always worry n care, but would never claim any ownership over any of his children even if things went back to how they were initially.
I doubt being religious has got anything to do with loving. The scriptures call Hinduism a way of life, to live according to Dharma. It is not a religion. At least that's what we were told when we studied some laws of war of the Mahabharata.
I think loving without attachment is possible. Yet to find out how?π³
