Distance doesn't matter
A bus rattles its way through lush green countryside. A young man sitting on the roof, is blind to the changing landscape. He is lost in thought even as he walks through the fields towards a cottage. As he reaches there, the old lady of the house is clearly shocked. She addresses him as Rajju. Smiling, the young man shakes his head and says he is Rajjus son.
Delighted, she calls out to her husband, announcing their grandsons arrival. The old man, though, isnt pleased. Why has he come here when his father has not spoken to me in 22 years? he asks angrily. The young man whips out his mobile phone the Airtel logo is prominently displayed on the screen and promptly calls his father.
The grandfather accepts the prodigals apologies, the grandmother pulls the handset to speak with her son, and the family is reunited.
