There is life .......Is there ?
How just a small sentence makes you think about the depth hidden in the words spoken .The words sound simple for some but for some the same words pave ways for deep thinking . The incident which I am about to narrate is a small conversation with one of my acquaintances. You might have been part of such conversation but it was a complete new experience for me .I am not judging any one for anything nor I have any prejudices .I am a hardcore patriotic and I cannot detach myself from my roots ,my country has everything to offer from simple to extreme lavish ,plain to luxurious, moderate to abundant depending on our choices , is it making any sense to you ? May be not right now as you have no idea about my narration ,so let me begin.
It was Sunday morning year ...2023 and I had to go to a path lab for my routine test .I reached timely and as expected there wasn't much rush .The attendant took my blood sample and asked me to wait for 10 more minutes. I sat down and started scrolling my phone .Suddenly, the door opened with a loud push which drew my attention because I entered through the same door very smoothly. The door was pushed by one of my acquaintance Ms XYZ. I will call her by this name to keep her anonymous ,so I am using this pseudonym XYZ. So, this madam XYZ and I worked together for an educational institute but not for long,together, as colleagues after a few months she moved to Dubai with her family . While we were working together we were just friends , I hope you can understand what just friends means . She was a physical training instructor , tom boyish, always dressed in track suit ,may be because she was a PTI .
On seeing her I tried to avoid her , a bit reserve ..my habit ...no no may be I don't want to interact. But her eyes caught me and she came close and hugged me . Though she was more feminine now but she gave me a bear hug . I wanted to get free from her clutches . And that happended soon . We just ask each other about how we are doing in our lives. But after exchange of words I asked her what brought her to India and to the path lab ...initially I thought it was a foolish question as she is an Indian and her roots are here. But what brought her to the lab ,she told me as health care and medical treatments are expensive there ..in Dubai.So before going back she wants to get her all the tests done here. This brought a deep grin on my face for the reason that India has best medical facility at affordable rate but if you go for other cosmetic transformation ....it not that cheap.....on the other hand in Dubai medical expenses are high...but cosmetic tranformation ...no clue . Now the shock is about to come , when I asked her is she planning to return to India permanently ? How foolish of me asking such question ,but wait , to this ,she gave a swift rely ....No ...and I asked her ....why? She told me that ,"THERE IS LIFE."I think I got it right that there is life in Dubai.Those words echoed in my mind thousand times ,what exactly she meant by saying this? May be she had a dull life and routine here in India ,or she has more freedom or her social life is very active there now.
I am writing about this incident in 2026 , currently war is going between Iran and America and Isreal ..... middle east is also targetted . If I get a good chance to meet Ms.XYZ now, I would definitely loved to asked How is life there ?
