If you could relive one day from your past, which day would it be and why?
The train journey from Delhi to Jaipur happened ten years ago. I met my school friends after thirty years. The way we hugged and would not leave each other, the laughter would not stop, the love flowed and flowed, the emotions are indescribable.
I could relive that happiness once more, that unusual moment when we met in the train and all the connections came flooding back has been my greatest gift ever.
I had never left my family before and traveled by myself from UK to India. I took the opportunity only for this girls trip. Whats app had brought us together and the plans were made. Since that holiday our friendship has been our lifeline. We literally long for one another and love each other once more for a lifetime.
May this happiness continue forever and ever.
Totally echo! Thant train journey and the unstoppable laughter, that uplifting joy that we felt, is now a lifetime treasure! Thank you, Rishi, for reminding us of those exceptional lived moments!

Thanks for sharing. If I could relive any day, it was the day I returned home from teaching in the UAE and my husband was there waiting for me in the airport after a long year away from home. The air was sultry sweet and I was reminded that we could kiss and hug as we are were in the states! No one would notice. Safely home without breaking any rules!

Ha, thanks, you know the UAE is still heavily Muslim, so public affection is frowned upon.

It is such a diverse place that it is hard to realize it is heavily Muslim.

Being a stranger in a strange land
everything was fascinating. Even
the train itself divided into many
different sections. I managed to
secure a bunk, but it was all down
to a lucky draw. Some friends even
got into first class. Arriving in
Udaipur waa like landing on another
planet.
