Soul Curry - Something i never miss out on

Yeah, I am talking about the short 2 para article that comes along with the Sunday TOI edition every week. These are real life stories about situations people have come across in their life and deals with their approach towards the challenges they faced in their lives. What keeps me addicted to these articles and why i look forward to it every Sunday is that it is about ordinary people like me and i can very much relate to it. These are human stories and majorly deals with human emotions and reactions through different phases of life. In fact, i could see a lot of me in some of these stories.

For instance, there was this story about an engineering college guy who was sick of his mom mainly for her controlling nature right from his schol days, his mom being a control freak used to interfere in everything he did , probably she was doing this out of care and affection and somewhere in between she forgot that her son has grown up, become an adult and needs some space. Then when the guy got an opportunity to study in a hostel, he was thrilles as he was going to get his freedom and liberty away from his parents at at last. He started enjoying the newly found freedom and became aloof from his parents. His world revolved more around his friends and there came a time when even during holidays, he used to stay back and not go home. Then came a day when he broke his leg and then he was bed ridden at home and was continuously looked after by his parents. He saw those two souls relentlessly helping him out through out the day to make sure he is comfortable. Then he realised their importance. This brought about a change in him. He finished his engineering and after getting a job he was again posted away from home but this time, after a few months he himself took transfer and went to his hometown and started staying with his family.

I keep on reading such stories and look forward to the soul curry as these remind us of the short and sweet moments of our life ans really touches the heart and the soul.
