Thoughtless musings
There are rare moments when you feel like hit by lightning (of the negative kind).
Today was one such moment
Received message from close school friend.i had no clue of his personal situation.
There is reason why Chandni Will never understand completely what Pune really means to me.. It is much much more than just my hometown..
India trip and relocation to BC were mere life updates in comparison to entering a new phase in life by buying our first home.
I now feel “settled” and more connected to Canada, even more that what I felt after becoming her citizens
I truly found peace and experienced once again being ‘content‘ in life after my home purchase. I was truly happy. It took me a long time to buy one but eventually was not a victim of FOMO during real estate craze of Canada and found a home that had everything that I desired.

After the birth of Ved probably there were 2 big updates that followed within a span of few months.
First was the India trip and then we returned back not to Toronto, but to British Colombia
In a way this was way bigger than moving to Canada in 2011. I was well settled, had a great social circle. But something was missing and I was “done” with Toronto. Maybe “mid-life” crisis. permanant relocation was not even really for Ved. I desparately wanted a change. A complete overhaul.
Now that we have completed almost a year, I have zero regrets.
March 2023 was an emotional tsunami of sorts. 5 years was a long time. Never again
In recent weeks, came across 2 quotes that I could relate with a lot.
I hope someday every human being gets to experience the unconditional love that a child has for you
There is a famous quote in the Mahabharat quoted by Yudhishthir in the Vana parva in the famous conversation with Yamraj. It is as follows-
“What is the greatest wonder in the world?"
That, every single day, people die,
Yet the living think they are immortal.
