Sometimes I sit back and think,
wish I was still a kid who could play around with cousins and enjoy a tension
free life except for exams. But the reality today is we are all grown up and
settled in our professional life. We
hardly have time for our self.
My cousins also stay in Bangalore one is close by other one far away. The one close to my home is hardly 20 minutes’ drive but still we hardly find time to catch up. Only time we catch up is during our parents visit to city.
This Saturday was one such occasion when my aunt was in town while uncle and my cousin brother were out of town. I reached my aunt’s place after breakfast, it was then I realized that my last was 3 months ago, when my cousin brother was ill and aunt had come.
I didn’t feel that, am meeting them after a gap of 3 months because warmth of our relation was like, we last met yesterday. My cousin sister was at kitchen today to showcase her cooking skills, I think it’s the first time am trying her dishes. I was skeptical to try her dish but when she told, initial experiment was conducted successfully on her brother, it gave me confidence to try it. It was yummy, courtesy youtube. Anyone can cook today using youtube today. Even I have tried few recipes.
Post lunch other cousin sister landed, she has traveled good 3 hours to reach us. We all got enclosed in talk about what is happening in our life but most important talk was about movies we had seen recently and the ones we have in phone. Next couple of hours was spent in Shareit (file transfer app) transferring movies from one phone to another.
Since it was getting late I got up to leave but aunt asked me to stay back, as it has been long since we cousins have gathered. I decided to stay back and spend time with them. Then we all started with real fun, pulling legs and the target was our younger sister, since childhood she has been our favorite. I was pulled, being the eldest among them (seniority matters at time). Then childhood memories, missing links to the stories were added by aunt. It went on till 1 am in morning, post that we retired to bed.
Next day was tough for all of us to leave bed, we got up very late and just to have breakfast. After that sleep had vanished so we all decided to help aunt in kitchen with in our purview, she wanted us to take rest but we wanted to be together all time so this was the best option.
Post lunch one cousin left as she had to travel far and late evening traffic will be too much. By evening I also left, on way back was thinking how soon time passed away? But was happy that we all enjoyed it thoroughly and we should try to meet like this, whenever time permits.
