“You only realize the true value of family and friendship after it’s gone. After they are physically no more with you. Back in the UK, I would be surrounded by family and my friends were at a very close proximity but now I am at the other side of the globe. And I miss them more. It’s easy to be who you truly are with your close ones – no inhibitions, no pretenses. You shed your skin. And they would understand. With acquaintances it’s different. You have to maintain a certain etiquette, be wary of the dos and donts which can at many times get tiring.”
