Though my breakup scene was an ugly spat, we still are in touch, as we understood that it is all okay to grow out of the relationship. And this incident made me realise the importance of my family and parents.

In short, I am glad something like this happened to me because that was the day I realised my parents' worth in my life and I feel blessed to have them by my side. Love you, Ma aur Pa.
