In the heart of our small town, there lived two souls—my parents. They weren't renowned or grandiose, but their kindness held the power to mend hearts. Raised in a vibrant joint family, they shared stories of a time long past, tales I grew up hearing.
Our lives today, you see, are quite different. We adore our personal space, embracing solitude, but it can also isolate us. In a world overflowing with connections, we often feel disconnected. And so, we've turned to something simple yet profound: short calls.
Short calls, just as they sound, are brief conversations. They're snippets of connection in a world that seems to thrive on endless chatter. We understand that time is fleeting, so we keep it short and sweet. It's the convenience we crave.
I cherish these moments. In fact, I yearn for telegram-style calls, stripped to their essence, conveying only what truly matters. It's a return to simpler times when words were deliberate and heartfelt.
Stories, too, hold a special place in my heart. Those tales my mother's grandma shared with her during childhood have a certain magic. They transport me to evenings filled with prayers, the warm glow of diyas, and the sharing of prasads. I can almost taste the tea in small shops, the rain gently tapping on the windows, casting shadows that dance in my mind.
But it's the short calls that make me feel truly special. When that familiar name lights up my phone screen, it's a reminder that time is a precious gift. The person on the other end understands that this isn't our final meeting, that there will be time for the stories left untold, for deeper conversations.
In this digital age, short calls are the threads that weave our lives together. They bridge the gaps between our busy days, serving as a gentle reminder that amidst change, the bonds of the heart remain steadfast. So, let's continue making those short calls, for within them, we discover the beauty of connection and the warmth of understanding.
