Arun and Renu left for Mumbai last evening for a better life. Am sure if my blogs have been looked into it is nobody's guess that they have been the most importnant people in my life after I moved to Singapore. In the last few days, I spent as much time I could with them to get a rub off their positive energy since I have grown pretty addicted to it. Eachtime I would be depressed I visit them and get back on track and it is extremely tough to explain how they could change my frame of mind each time but they certainly did.
I knew they would leave for months but never brought myself to believe that they were actually going. Escaping it till I actually bid them farewell and then I just realised I could not make those senseless conversations anymore :-( No more Promises Gardens and the lovely chicken and the mushrooms and the movie marathons. No more of those endless music sessions either....
I am very happy for them and to say the least they have the courage to take a step forward and conquer all their fears. I wish them all the happiness they deserve and all the good luck they must have.

I too think their move back to India is commendable. Mumbai is a tough city to live in, and esp. difficult in terms of real estate, but they have been really brave to leave a life there and come back here to struggle and set up life again. I met Arun when he came to visit me in the office and he was so positive about making things happen and so clear about why he left Singapore.
I too need to take a leaf from their book of how to be brave and take some risks, especially when you have the love of your life to stand by you. It is also reminding me of a line from Khaled Hossenini's book 'A thousand Splendid suns' where Laila tells her husband Tariq that she wants to go back to Kabul and Tariq tells her that he will travel to the ends of the earth with her.
It made me realise that taking the first step is the most difficult bit and once that is overcome the rest falls in place.
Way to go Arun !!! All the best to the both of you - Ramona
