Amma and i went to each house to tell them we were leaving. They all said, 'Don't forget us. Keep visiting.' At the age I was then, this seemed absurd. i had grown up among them - how was it even possible to forget these people? Now I see what they meant. Vivek Shanbhag
About This Quote

In a world where you can be cut off from family and friends at any moment, the idea of being forgotten or left behind is terrifying. When you were a child, they were there for you. You enjoyed their company and their support. Then one day they didn't greet you and you realized that all those years of friendship and love had been severed. Now that you're older, you realize that that's what life can be like for everyone – no matter how close you are to someone, sooner or later we will all be left behind.
