Take a step

If someone takes a step towards a wall or a tree  he/she is moving closer by just one step at a time. If someone takes one step towards you, you can also respond by taking a step towards him/her, you are neither a wall nor a tree. That way you move closer to each other two steps at a time, quickly reducing the gap in between.

“I’m sorry,” said John in a baritone voice. “Along the way, you had chances to mend your ways too. Didn’t you?” “Yes,” he replied gruffly. “What’s an old man supposed to do though?” “You weren’t always this way,” he sighed. “From me to you I guess we had our share of mistakes. Will you be able to forgive me?” John sobbed like a child. “I am the one who should seek forgiveness,” he said gruffly.    Andrew was slyly watching his father through a slightly open door. Tears ran down his cheeks as he saw his father shift personalities and voices to talk to himself. “I think that’s enough,” he announced.

I want to go in, I want to hold him, just like he held me when I wept as a child.” “I understand your feelings,” said the Doctor. “But it’s important to let him be. Trust me, I wil...

His flight landed in Mumbai and he made for the immigration counter much impressed by by T2. At the immigration counter he handed over his passport to the officer who had a big smile on his face.

Before the break of dawn his flight landed at Mumbai international airport. Naresh’s son, Vijayant, was waiting to receive him. “Welcome, dad,” he greeted his father. “So good to see you, son.” “Same here, dad. It’s been so long since you last visited.” “I love the countryside, Vijay. You know that.” “Yes,” replied Vijayant. “Come, let’s go home. Aarti and Aakash are eagerly waiting for you.” They drove out and reached home with the rising sun appearing over the horizon. The door opened within seconds of them ringing the doorbell. “ Dadu !” yelled Aakash and leapt on Naresh. “It’s so good to see you, Aakash,” said Naresh as he held his grandson in a warm embrace.
