42. Tazzy baba di Jai

“Hmmm…” something suddenly stuck me, the night when Tazzy had made us pledge that we all will follow our dreams. I recalled that nobody had asked Tazzy about his dream and it was a great temptation for me at this point of our conversation,
“What if now I ask you the same question?”
“Which one?”
“What do you want to become?” I asked. My question made him quiet, a beautiful smile appeared on his face and he said,
“I want to become a Buddha” he said with such love that I could not ask him another question and spoil the moment. I just nodded my head and smiled back.

‘Saying goodbye is not easy, it is impossible’ I bet this is true.
Next morning Tazzy left…

…and yes, for those wondering whether I did or did not let me tell you that I did try Tazzy baba’s love test.
…and just the way I had always suspected the answer in all the cases was a big ‘Yes’, ‘I still want to be with this girl’.
