Reflections In Progress

Personal reflections, life lessons and finding my way forward

Belonging…

We often has a desire to belong to some place , person or a group. It’s hard for some to define this and easily decided by the others. They know exactly what they want and reverse in life, I think we all do deep down inside, we dont accept it.

Have you ever being to a new place in your life and felt like this is where my soul belongs, you instantly feel at home , comfortable and feels like you have being here before. I visited a place in Podi Garhwal in Uttarakhand few months ago for the first time. I felt at peace there, although I was alone but I felt safe and comfortable and thought these people are so lucky to be living a slow peaceful and banded with close family and friends. What more can a person desire in life…

I felt jealous of them, I wanted to live the same life close to the nature. I have visited so many different places in India over the years, but never felt so good and calm at any place. I couldn’t stop thinking about this place since I am back, I wanted to visit again and experience it again and again.

I have realised they are living a meaningful and a content life than us who are struggling to survive in cities because of the job, staying away from family. I left home at 18, since then I just visit my parents house for few days… I always wanted to live with them , dreamt of living with them always, which wasnt possible every time. I envied those who live with parents and never left them. May be I Am an emotional person, but there is nothing wrong in desiring for something close to your heart….
