Journey

The screeching voices of the vendors and luggages big enough to contain the whole of family inside it. It was chennai central. The architecture of the chennai central wos pure british mind,each bricks crafted under the expert eyes. The ambience added a charisma to this red and a contoured white mixed historic architect, so beautiful that a newbie in town would take it as a historic monument preserved by the govt.the only difference would be that,people have freedom to sleep in it!
It was past 8 in the night and i wos tired after the journey which i had undertaken since last night,in the bus. With a bag hanging around my back,weighing somewhere around 10 kilos, heavy enough to make me hunch-back if i had one more day to carry the burden. Thinking i had enough time, i rushed to nearby visible pco,to make couple of phone calls. Two weeks earlier i had taken leave,a mini vacation from my company for the trip to my place.the urge to see my folks back home grew up to be so intense that i believed m dying tomorrow if my flight was delayed..it was sixteenth morning of summer june when i thought i should give my folks surprise by dropping at my place two days prior to my scheduled arrival. And i wos right, they were pleased and Jaw dropped to see me. I thought i should undertake my journey from bus stop till home on foot as it was pleasant weather , must have rained in the night.on seeing me enter the doorway my mom jumped to greet me,it was worth to see her face, i hugged her, it wos my pleasure to see my eldest cousin at home,for,it was almost 3 years i had seen his face. Dad was smiling, i missed his smile all these months. I remembered it was bomken's birthday."o my god its api's birthday and it slipped out of my mind!". My mom had forgotten her dear eldest daughter's birthday. She was getting old, i could see her freckles and wrinkled eyelines. Should i b worried? The journey of a child being born and till the dead bed is full of experiences. A reason to smile and remenise about the past that had gone by. My mom was getting old, and so was i, i could see. She would frequently bring out the topic of marriage."we would'nt be the same and the good health can be a past". These were threatening lines of my mom and dad and i knew i would'nt escape for long. I dropped my luggage and gathered both of my cousins and before my sister could know i was here, i planned to surprise her with her chocolate birthday cake. It out fine as c was equally happy and surprised. I planted on her a warm birthday kiss and i was glad i didnt reveal that i had'nt brushed my teeth. ..
