"आप केरला से हैं? तो आपने समुद्र देखा होगा?" (You are from Kerala? So you must've sawed the sea?) . Sudhama, in his vibrant & innocent teens, was visibly excited when he inquired. Whilst I'm struck by the obviousness of his question, he had already laid his eager eyes on me. I wondered how fascinating it must be for him. . "When the roar of the surf liberate his senses from years of numbness . The cool breeze lift his sleeves. . And when the tide comes, erodes the sand beneath his soles, there are very few things more satisfying than this", I thought to myself. . मैं बड़ा होने के बाद केरला आऊंगा, समुद्र को देखने के लिए" (Once I've grown up, I'll come to Kerala to see the sea), he declared with hope.
