Reunion

Since coming back to Bangalore, it had always been on our mind to come back to SEDS to see people one last time before we headed off. And this weekend we got the opportunity. But as per usual things dont always go to plan, so you just have to say T.I.I and to just go with the flow.  We were meant to be there on friday, but instead we got there on Saturday night. We were meant to go for a reception, but the married couple are no where to be found.

Hopping out of the car into the SEDS campus, i noticed someone coming towards me. it was dark but i caught a silhouette of a figure marching towards me ever so quickly. it was shivaji in all his playfulness and excitedness to see me. and i with him. We laughed as we met and high ten’d each other and then we sprinted down the long drive way to find the other boys. It was wen we were about three quarters of the way when figures started sprinting towards me. It was the rest of the boys. We all ran together laughing, full of joy, full of energy as we hadnt seen each other for 2 weeks. we couldnt stop hugging and laughing!! my what a feeling. the feeling of a reunion. the feeling of a familiar face. Reminds me of the dad in the lost son parable. The joy, the happiness, the absolute elation of seeing them again. The un-care for anything else right now but for the moment. They kept commenting on my haircut that i got from bangalore which only cost me $2AUD. They showed me everything they had done since i had left. It was so good to see them again. There’s just a joy that resonates in the heart as i remember this spectacular moment.
