During one of our jokey, childish fights I turned to 'V' and said "Is this how you treat a 'mehmaan' [guest]?"
He replied, "People who visit once are mehmaans. Those who come back are our family members."
Highkey melted my heart when he said that. I yearn for the feeling of belongingness because it was never a stable feeling for me; it was something that I had to work for. Thus, once again, the Bal Ashram boys showed me that me being me is all they needed to accept me into their homes and into their lives.
