When I left home...

The bird that flew me miles from home!!

"When I left home, I had a smile", said a friend of mine and this line has inspired me to write this article.

When we set off on a journey, our mind is such that we try to anticipate the future, try to think positive, somewhat cover our fears, we are very excited and pray for the best. I have always been a traveler kind of a person who loves to explore and take risks in discovering places because to get lost is to take risk. Some 4 months back, I left home with a desire and ambition and I am still chasing it but along the way, I have learnt how life can change by just making a single decision. I have learnt that no matter how good a country is, how beautiful it is, it can't be a replacement for the place where our heart lies, where our family is and where we are truly happy. I have learnt that the best chef in this world is our mother. I have learnt that it is in solitude that we realize how important family is. I have learnt that life is not gifted to everyone, something I have always realized.


I think this one trip has changed me and continues to do that in many ways. My future is depending on this trip yes but besides that, I have grown as a person. It feels good to hear how members of the family feel proud of you and that you're parents say with happiness and joy that you are their child, that my friend as Steve Jobs said, is limitless.

"Zendagi Migzara" said Khaled Hosseini in The Kite Runner. It means life goes on and indeed it does, unfortunately in happy moments, a bit too fast. Everyone out there who reads me, life is about discovering new places, new people. Just because someone broke our trust doesn't mean everyone will and doesn't call for us to shut ourselves. I know you might be saying it is easier said than done but trust me, after a while when you reflect back, you will realize that everything happens for a reason and that some people shouldn't be in our lives and that letting go is probably the most wisest decision you will have ever made.

I am sorry this article couldn't be any better but I had to write it. I haven't written for long and today just felt like. I would like to end this article with one of my favorite scenes from a series I love to bits, Criminal Minds. It is a scene that probably relates a lot to me.


"Where are you headed?"
"No where in particular."
"How will you know you have got there?"
"That is a good question. That is a very good question."


Peace!
Champ!
