Vidhya's Post

▶️ If your bond with your best friend had a soundtrack, which song would top the list? “Sometimes people let differences divide them, instead of seeing what makes them the same.” This one line made me pause, it reminded me how often we create distance and differences, rather than togetherness, forgetting that life is meant to be celebrated with the people we love, because we never know what tomorrow may bring. Some people leave marks so deep on our minds and hearts that even in their absence, they stay with us in our conversations, in our memories, in the little ways we keep them alive. The Song of Our Bond by Pinki Bakshi captures one such story of Meena and Kasturi, two girls who became inseparable friends, only to be parted by circumstances. How their paths intertwined only to drift apart when life had other plans. Set in the days before phones and the internet, their friendship faced the ultimate test: distance. We witness how their friendship sails through letters, memories, and emotions rather than instant connections. Meena, who moved to Orissa after her father’s transfer, found her first and best friend in Kasturi. But soon, Kasturi moved to the US, and their lives changed forever. What follows is their attempt to hold onto each other through thoughts, memories, and the invisible thread of friendship. From attempts to stay in touch to simply holding each other in thoughts, Pinki’s words take us down memory lane, making us nostalgic about the old friendships we once cherished and the simple old times. Alongside the story of friendship, we also witness the unsettling riots between the Oriya and Bengali communities, moments that leave a lasting imprint on Meena’s young mind. With themes of friendship, family love, cultural tension, separation, and the power of memories, Pinki weaves a tale that is both heartwarming and thought-provoking.
