Back to where I belonged

It’s a little weird to be back to the place where you have grown up and not do the same things you use to. In some strange way you feel connected to the place since you have spent years there and even in more strange ways you also feel alienated in the same place since you don’t belong there any more, you have moved on and changed according to the big city but this place is still there just the same. You start looking at the place like you are much better and ahead for the place; somewhere forgetting all the years that you have spent here and the days when you felt like you belonged here.

Now when I come back to this place, I am seeing it in a different light; this little town is always going to be in my heart because I have become who I am from here. Had some of my best of friends from here who are still sticking along with a cynic and a snob like I can be at times. This is the same place where I use to roam free on kinetic Honda like I owned the place, no place was far away to be reached. This is where I studied and had teachers I still look up to, this is the place where my school is, a school I am proud to be from. This is the place where I belonged and I still do but in a different way.

But again there is a confession I got to make I would not want to live here for good. Although this is the place where I grew up but a part of me also belongs to Delhi where my folks were while I was is in Karnal. And by now I have stayed at so many places that no one city gets my vote anymore. But if you ask me I would also not want to stay in Delhi. I want spend some time in New Zealand, then some time in Greece, then Singapore, then Florence(US)… Well the list can go on and the longer it gets the more it will edge towards being impossible.
Someday someway I will make it…

I can't put a title to it!

Blank is the feeling and not so blunt are the words... Its like a gypsy with no mission and no where to reach, he only arrives and he only travels not chasing anything. No dreams to follow but is still a dreamer, no highs to reach but is still a bird that flies high. This he chose by choice but is felicity in sight? Its a question not only the gypsy but we all ought to ask. Its dubious, the answer; and makes him diffident on rationality of existence... Another gloam arrives and again the rage of the seeker is choked a little more...

Code...Decode

In the state of existence we go through umpteen number of emotions everyday, some decipherable and some not. And it all depends how much do you keep things simple and how much clarity is there in thoughts and thought process. If you have too many feelings and thoughts that you can't seem to decode and its all jumbled up and setting it all straight is like a impossible task then that's "Impasse". Being at a dead is when you got to reorient yourself because there is no other way out. But what happens when the direction you take after reorientation puts you on another dead end path?... Are you lost again?

Silly Billy

Life has it twist and turns, we are always are on a winding road, no destination just the journey and then the end one day. But on the way we gather some memories good and bad, people good and bad, experiences good and bad. But one day when we look back we either say my life has been good or bad. And that conclusion is not dependent on the count of good memories, people or experiences exceeding the bad ones but depends entirely on which one we choose to remember and cherish. And which one we choose to remember depends on our attitude and outlook to life in general.  Positivity grows by believing that everything is going to be alright no matter what. The bad times won't last forever and the good ones will come soon but if we continue to think in the same direction and also add that eventually the good times would last too and the bad ones would be back again; well then, you have grown too wise for your own good. And that means you need some foolishness and sillin...
