India, a year later...

A lot can change in one year.
Cracks appear where there were none. In walls and relationships.
Illusions fade, the sheen wears off.
What seemed too good to be true is revealed to actually be so.
Nights filled with happy songs and hope and camaraderie are traded in for sad ghazals and loneliness and nonchalance.
Trust is betrayed, judgments made, hardships endured.
Dreams wrecked, hopes crushed, ties broken.
Yes a lot can change in one year…
