Nice read yet sad. A family confided by the concept of 10 minutes of hurried phone conversation once a week, family pictures hanging on the walls of apartment for reminder, family members not able to communicate (literally) with each other, and time for next family reunion unknown. A typical situation of those who are away from their parents and loved ones to achieve something in life. The clock keeps ticking. Time away from each other keeps growing. Health conditions deteriorate with age. But one thing is for sure and that is death. Hopefully next reunion won't be on the banks of Bagmati, with head between the knees contemplating on what one has achieved and what one has lost; and the times that could have been better spent in this life.
