Live together feel forever

When someone ask me why we need to live together and why we cannot live alone as we are born alone and we will die alone; only thing comes in my mind is my first social science lesson “Man is a social animal”. It’s not about living together or alone makes any difference but it’s the feeling of togetherness which creates the difference.

Feeling togetherness with your close ones amid of natural beauty is a memory which imprints forever. Being true to my aforesaid statement about man being a social animal, I proclaim myself to be one of those animals. And I also have my share of togetherness. It was not long back when I felt this awesome feeling of togetherness. I am in Mumbai for last 10 months and just like all other central region guy I began my stay in Mumbai from hating the city and now I am completely in love with it. After roaming city in day light, we all decide to have a night out at Marine drive.  After attending a farewell party we proceed to our destination and nature starts playing his part.

From a dry windy day to a heavy drizzling night, we taste the mood swing of nature and to be very honest I was enjoying the rain. It was making me feel alive. We reached Marine Drive at 9.30 completely drenched with a wind blowing across us. Many of us give up the idea of the spending the night as they were afraid of the thundering and rain. While on the other hand I was oblivion to this discussion. For me it was me, sea, rain and wind. Suddenly I heard a beautiful song sung by Lata Mangeshkar ji “Ajeeb Dasta hai ye” I turned around and saw my friend is singing it. Unlike the other friends who were busy in cracking jokes and making plans to return she was quite serene.  Her eyes were glued to the sea where all we can see was black water getting blue for a fraction of second when lightning reflects on sea surface. She was singing flawless.

Instead of making her realize that I was noticing her signing I started singing slowly with her (it was because I don’t want add my 8^th note to her 7 note music). I knew the lyrics of songs she was singing and then we keep on singing old songs which not only have in depth lyrics but also posses mesmerizing melody. One of our friend was having no clues about the songs we were singing but she was also enjoying (it was due to the fact she was listening my friend’s voice not mine). We finally ended our small singing session with my all time favorite song “Mera Kuch Saman”.

Though she is a very good friend of mine we never share any personal stuff with each other and in fact neither we spoke about this moment as well. When we were signing the songs while looking the endless sea I literally forgot who are sitting around me and where I am seating. People say if you are feeling togetherness you do not have time for yourself and for me the time we spent at Marine drive singing melody I was feeling togetherness but I was giving time to myself.  At last I just want to say thanks for my friend Rashmi to make that moment special with her awesome singing and making sure no one heard me singing. Stay blessed always.
