Shawshank Redemption




I’m in jail. (So what if it’s ACed and I get biryani?!).

My son’s on the other side of a screen… a weekly visit.

Pop pops a question - searching for hope (for myself i.e., he has plenty) .

“Son, what do you miss most about me?”

He’s 8, a kinesthetic learner. He fiddles, ticks, shifts.

Suddenly, he stops looks me straight in the eye and says: “Everything.”

His hands begin moving again all over the place, as he tries to show what he means.

Then, he stops again, and says: “I miss all of you.”

And he’s gone.
