A Biriyani tale
Finding words to express your views is one of the difficult situations
one could face in life. But possibly this is the happiest moment of the life
when words can’t describe the emotions and feelings that one experiences.
Philosophically life is like the musical notes or like the
symphony, or life is like a roller coaster ride but the child in you will
always say that life is all about the foods (well at least for some of you).
Food can be cuisines, deserts , meal, breakfast, brunch, lunch and many more names
can be given but the stories that begin on a dinner table stays for a long
time.
Mia met her college friends almost after 10 years of the
graduation. Sitting around the round dinner table everyone was having a very
formal and a decent conversation. Meanwhile some were busy texting, checking
out mails and of course taking selfies. The waiter walked in and asked for the
order. The hubbub around the table paused for a second and mia spoke up “biriyani
for all”. That one word reminded them of the good old days : the days when all
of them used to bunk classes for a movie, the unexpected strike days that used
to bring the smile on the face, it reminded them of the hostel days where Sunday
meal was the “biriyani”, the days that was all about just being happy and
carefree.
The biriyani is the connection that unites the old college
friends once again. We all have those connections which need to be refreshed
and revived. Life is all about the connections that we share with the person
sitting next to us. The smile of the kid reminds us of our childhood days. The empty
classrooms reminds us of our school days. The Cutting CHAI and the canteens
reminds us of our college days. These are the days when we meet few people who
are going to stay with us forever. These are the people who remind us of our happy
days. Never lose such few people from your life. The happiness is the outcome of the connections. The connections over the coffee, movies or the “Biriyanis” need to be
rejuvenated.
The connections are like the thread that connects the soul
with the body. Heart to heart conversation is the best to create the magic of
connections. The digital social media will not help to build up a real connection. The
real conversation that starts with showcasing the creativity and the inner self
helps to develop a bond.
When connections are real, they simply cannot die. They can
be buried, or ignored, or you could simply walk away from, but they can never
be broken unlike the relationships built over the finite spaces.
The connections may be invisible but it is always buried in
the hearts of those who genuinely care for others.
So break the ice,
Create the magic of connections
Over a coffee or the “Biriyani” !!!
