They usually refer to this statement in daughter 's marriage or when a son become father... Sometimes also when we get our first salaries or maybe a degree at college. For they have seen us growing from the time we were in the pram. Playing with those charms our parents put on top to keep us engaged and at peace than our activities of pooping, sleeping and other bothering we were good with.
Somehow, sitting at one of the stores of my organization I am able to relate to these 2 words "time flies.." I am no where at the counter wearing the red and white with the smile on my face addressing the crowd with some formal language being taught as part of my job.. I do not see those familiar faces roaming on the floor though there are some similar kinds roaming here and there rushing through the day 's operation, closing on the sales and other target with a worry like if they didn't do what is expected, world's gonna end.
I walk-in to the manager's cabin.. A cabin always been a favorite for initial years when I walked in that I saw a face with a smile which haunts thought till date if the name occurs or after those years anybody who walked in saw my smiling face coz the cabin spoke with me always and ofcourse, it was my thoughts being alive in every form. Today, I am the visitor and ofcourse the cabin no more talks to me.
3 years its been I am out of store, but 3 years I have been visiting as many as possible as often it permits to join in the bits and pieces which suddenly got missing.. Today its the same visit as a senior visitor , observing team, smiling around, sharing feedbacks ... But , deep in heart.. With an urge to get back in that red and white.. I so want to take that counter again, smile at the crowd walk-in by.. Passing by ... Cracking few jokes with the person sitting next to me and sharing some eye talks with the one I front.. But then I also know that the time has flown..
Time has flown to be back on those counter and rushing to manager's cabin for enjoying somebody's smile or to be on those floor and ensuring that people have their smiles intact or be in the cabin to welcome few with a heartful smile for it felt so warm with them around.. Time has changed to being the visitor now for that is what the present is.. That is what I am now.. That is what it all was meant to be..
Lots of Love! Anji
