Remembering Rekha

This Republic Day the actress Rekha was awarded the Padma Shri. A well-deserved award, brought back memories of many Rekha movies like Mr. Natwarlal, Umrao Jaan, and Khubsoorat. It also reminded me of a lovely Rekha I met online last summer. I remember teasing her with the famous Rafi song, Rekha O Rekha. It is doubly sad that we broke up, since this R was also a distance runner who did half marathons. Unfortunately, fear of dependence is the cause of many a break-up.
