I sat on the cliff and looked at the hills in front of me. I wondered how my life had changed so drastically in the past six years. Did I have any regrets? Maybe a few, sitting there and thinking all about it all over again I only wanted a breeze of happiness to blow through my life. Few words left unsaid and a friendship left in shambles.

I seemed to forget everything and was lost in the innocence of the kids I had to teach. From then onward I got busy with my work and forgot him almost.

Sundays used to be days when I could actually roam about with my iPod in my ears and look at the beauty of the hills clearly.
