Editor Tanaya Patnaik shares a poignant personal reflection on human relationships through her interaction with a stray dog. Initially, she avoided the friendly dog due to childhood trauma, repeatedly turning it away despite its playful intentions. By the time she decided to embrace its presence, the dog had learned to maintain its distance. This serves as a metaphor for human life, illustrating how we often neglect those who offer us unconditional love and time. By the time we realize their value and seek them out, they have often moved on, leaving us with a sense of regret and longing. https://sambad.in/special/editorial-abhimata-fffddd-12134687 #creator program
