It was 8 am on a chilly December morning in Bangalore. There was huge commotion around a stationary school bus. Anxious parents were crowding near the single door of the bus. There were some who were trying to hang from the window panes desperate for one last glimpse, anxiety writ large on their faces. There was another bus in queue. One bus was at the gate. In a jiffy, the driver of this bus starts the engine. People quickly move aside. Lusty calls of “Bye, have a nice day,” “Bye, putta,” “Take care” ring in the air. And, in a second the bus is out of the gate followed by the other one that now witnesses similar scenes unfold.

It gives me great delight in penning this post for my dear friend and writer extraordinaire, Dagny Sol of Serenely Rapt fame! It is often said that opposites attract yet sometimes strong friendships are forged on commonalities. It is eerie also that you feel so close in your thought process to someone you’ve never met. That is exactly the equation I share with Dagny. Generous with her praise and affection, I know her to be very objective and matter-of-fact. I know I can rely on her to give me a rap when needed, a quality I absolutely admire. Not to mention, her impeccable writing, which teaches me something every time I read her. She can take the simplest of ideas and craft brilliant writing around them. Yes, under no circumstances must you skip reading her blog. And, so it was a huge ego boost when she asked me to pen a blog post for her esteemed space. Like I’ve told her many times, she validates my writing. Thank you for your warm presence in my life, Dagny!
