Jaydeep, Deepak, Amit, and I decided to go on a 3-day trip to my native place, Mangaluru. Within no time, everything was planned, bookings were done and … we were on our way!

The four of us have been together since Std.1st, that’s almost 50 years back! In a small village, in Mangaluru, I still have my parents’ home in place. The four of us had elaborate Plans of experiencing the local food, witnessing some interesting Events associated with Tulunadu, wearing the local attire, visiting several Temples and tourist places as well as doing Kayaking and experiencing one of the most beautiful sunsets in the Kapu Beach. Being together for such a number of years ensures that we gel along without being judgmental. Three days invested with each other, joking, teasing, refreshing old memories, discussing challenges in our lives, sharing the latest developments, et all.

It was a refreshing change from our daily routine. A beautiful song is defined by the pauses in between its verses. Yoga tells us to take a pause between our breaths. Life too should have a pause between our daily schedules. These wonderful moments with our soulmates are the medicine which the Doctor had ordered.

Longing for more such pauses in life. Only then will my life’s song be beautiful!
