It's a Small World...

Through Dad and Rekha's eyes I'm reminded of how small the world is. When we are first born our world is our family and our home. As we grow our world grows, we add in friends, school, classmates, colleagues. We go out and explore and travel, we want to see the world. We know Dad saw so much of the world. He moved from Bihar to Calcutta, from Calcutta to Philadelphia, he lived all over the US. We are constantly growing and expanding our universes... It amazes me how much Dad's world has shrunk. A couple of weeks ago when we took Dad to the hospital he kept asking Mom to show him how to go upstairs. He wanted to go to his room and go to sleep. His entire world is Kunty and Boitano. It is a small world after all.
