Here comes another day wen I went for shopping ....
There are two shops from the different countries side by side - India and our neighboring country (P*******n).Best option possible for Indian foods and materials...
I went to the neighbors shop first, took some food , groceries , ready to eat and all...wen I came to the billing counter..shopkeeper became happy to see uncommon face between the Europeans..that too of a Indian...He talked to me about my work, stay in Dublin,weather and all...I asked him a question .."Do you miss your own country where your roots are?.."...He replied.."No, not at all.It(neighboring country) has got nothing to be missed..it has terrorism,blasts,poverty and started cribbing...." ...I said nothing just sympathetic gestures..got my things billed..paid and came out..
Then by chance I haven't got some specific things in that shop..I went to an Indian shop...there was a Punjabi aunty ..she gave me a big smile..i collected my things from shop....and then she asked about me "beta ji aapka naam kya hai ? r u an Indian...luking pretty in suite" ....I said "Thanks" and gave my introduction...She told me she is here from past 15 years.....and I asked the same question "Do u miss India?".....There came the answer.."apne desh ki mitti apni hi hoti hai...hindustaan jaisa koi shehar nahi..idhar 15 saalon se hun magar sapne mein India ...apna gaon..khet..logg hi dikhte hain..main marne se pehle India zarur jaana chahungi.... " ...A big smile came on my face!!..which was incomparable to anything.......
I thought..here comes my country...my India ...people are in nooks and corners of the world..but having India in heart...
Miss you too.....
