And we grew up just like that!!!

To someone who was always there when we had a fall,

To the first words learnt and a plethora of words that run in our head today, 
To the hours spent on playground with friends without worrying about anything in the world, 
To the little joys of finding an empty swing in a park that is more valuable than any materialistic things,
To waking up in time for school to meet the favourite teachers & dearest friends eagerly,
To having new dreams every other day & saying when we grow up we would be….!
Somewhere we grew up just like that!!

To graduating & receiving the awaited degree in hand one day,
To the love for handwritten letters which nowhere matches the emails of today’s times,
To making some friends for life and those that have your back always when needed!
Somewhere we grew up just like that!!

To chasing dreams and getting the first job (Aha the happiness of first salary cheque!)
When we have a big to-do list of things for the day but so little time,
When we started using management tools to manage ourselves,
To having stage fear & shivering the first time when we spoke in front of a large audience in college,
To learning to speak at ease during presentations in front of office colleagues,
To thinking we are closer a step to change the world but nowhere close,
When we realized a handful of people cannot really change the world as each one is just like a drop in the ocean (although doesn’t every drop count?)
Somewhere we grew up just like that!!

To charting our way in a new city on our own, To meeting new people & knowing which ones to keep close to the heart forever,
To realizing how valuable is the comfort of home, To knowing the importance of family who were by our side in testing times,
To finding happiness by being close to nature - mountains & beaches are love!
To realizing how much physical and mental health is important & taking little steps each day to keep them in check,
In this journey of a small four letter word called life,
Isn’t each one in a quest to search their own Ikigai (purpose & meaning of life),
For a long, happy & fruitful life!!
Somewhere we grew up just like that!!
