I was at at Goa a few days back for my nephews thread ceremony.I was amongst my extended family members.I was so glad to be with them, albeit for a few days.It revived so many childhood memories. All the uncles and aunts and cousins galore brought back some a memories that time cannot erase.
It is a shame that though we all live in the same city we rarely get to meet up with our extended family due to our hectic schedules.

We are engulfed in the cycle of the daily grind.....home,work,home,work.............it is never-ending.We are busy with our own lives and hardly have time to inquire about our extended family members - neither close nor distant.
What a change it was from all that daily routine! We ate together , visited different places and shared anecdotes of the past and introduced our little ones to them.What a joy to have all those memories of the good old days !
I realised that all my relatives are not as young as they were earlier.Time has taken its toll on them and I realised that we too are growing older.These little moments of togetherness brought so much joy to them.They were happy to regale us with the past happenings and were excited to know what progress we had made.
We cannot tell how long anyone is going to live.We take life for granted and give importance to petty things.It is time we learn to value the people we have with us before it is too late.In spite of our busy schedules we need to take time to maintain our relationship with our extended families.
It is time to hold on to the ties that bind............before they break and cannot be repaired.
