All are smiling making a relaxed but vocal start to the day. I smiled at the familiar sight with happiness that is not easily explicable. I cannot help but think about that fateful day six years ago. The day that changed my life and veered it from the path it might have carried on to a new path it eventually did. I shudder to think what life would have I had and how much happiness I would have missed, if not for a pleasant mistake. ************************** Chapter 1 Breakfast time in our house is full of confusing activity. Family members pop in and out. My mother and maid cook a huge amount of breakfast. Close employees of family firm drop in like family members. All 'invaders' either sit down and eat on the table or simply pick and graze as conversations fly across various. Quite often it is very difficult to follow who is contributing to which discussion. I wonder, how anyone can trace who has responded to whom. My head moves like an umpire of a tennis match ultimately I sigh and give up.
