Neeta was sitting alone and sipping her cup of tea beside the window, early in the morning, when this thought crossed her mind.
"What if I had been such a free person in my 30s?" "what would have I done with this much of time?"
She wondered, how her life has changed in just a decade! Just a few years ago, she did not have enough time to breathe in this hour of the day.
She could see 'the younger her' in front of her eyes! She was working with 'four' hands in the kitchen, packing the lunch box for Rajiv with all the healthy foods, the salads, the steamed veggies and the healthy snacks! After all, he was told to lower his cholesterol and sugar. And the next moment, her hands were flipping the sandwich filled with the favorite cheesy veggies. This would go into her dear son Chintu's lunch box. He loved it! And just then the toaster popped up the bread slices, she had to butter it for Chintu's breakfast. The tea and the milk over the flame were also there in her mind! The mixed smell of tea, milk, butter and cheese, all filled into her nostrils and she woke up from her 'lively' dream about her past.
