Leaving The Nest

Hmmm... It feels good to be back. It always does. Whether it is a virtual home or real one. You must be thinking why I'm talking like this today. Because today I'm sitting at my home after a long working week in an another city. Another city? Another question, right? Oh sorry, I didn't tell that I'm posted in a different city now and its not possible for me to come back home every evening. So I have set aside Sundays for this purpose. And though I'm accessed to the Internet all the time, I can't write blog more often now. I can only read and I do. I don't comment on your blog but I do read it. Don't worry about that.

Today I'm gonna talk about leaving the nest. Yes, every bird in this world has to leave the comforts of nest one day. Otherwise it can't learn how to fly. Thats very obvious I guess. But humans too have to do the same. At least some of us, like me. Initially it feels really good to live without any kind of interference from the family. But the excitement of freedom doesn't last long. Because we're used to the comforts of our home, our nest. We're used to the caring feathers of our parents. But when we start living alone in a different city where we have to get up by the alarm, arrange our beds on our own, decide the clothes to wear, manage the meals etc. etc. etc. Suddenly the things seem to be tough. But then again, one day we're used to it. Used to everything we do constantly and consistently.

Another thing I've learnt from moving to a new place is loving your own place. Earlier when I used to roam about in my city, I'd find it so messy, full of traffic, unorganized and all. But now as I visit my home town once a week, I find it very calm and lovely. I like to see each and every part of the street where I walk and capture each and every thing in my memory. Love your place, there is nothing like home, not even heaven.

Now here are some things I miss while living at a new place-

- I miss my family of course (because alone you're nothing even if you're a king)

- I miss my friends (because hum hi hum hain to kya hum hain, tum hi tum ho to kya tum ho)

- I miss writing (because I don't find time and inspiration at a new place)

- I miss home food (because I really do)

- I miss my bike (because I don't have it at my new place)

- I miss my jeans (because I have to be formal at my work)

- I miss me, my old me (because I never thought I'll grow up one day and leave everything I love just for the sake of bread and butter)

That is all for now. I miss being here too often.

Permanent is What?

Change. What a word. For some it is good and for others, it may be the worst word ever invented to be included in encyclopedia. The thought came to mind when yesterday I changed my Blog template and name. I felt very happy today that my friends gave very honest opinion about this little change (little? at least I guess so). Friends, I just want to add that no change is ever permanent because if it was, it wasn't a change at all.

So, I was talking about change. I think every bad change feels good initially and every good change feels uncomfortable in the beginning. But as soon as the change starts to reveal it's true colors, our perception changes. When a person you love changes, it feels so uncomfortable that you can't bear the change or perhaps don't want to accept the reality. But as they say, everything happens for good and this too may have happened for the good because that person may not deserve your love. Lets take an opposite example. A person when initially starts taking alcohol or the stuff like that, may find it pleasurable in the beginning but soon the pleasure turns into pain. Then he realizes that it wasn't a good change at all. So, initially we don't have enough sense to judge what is good or bad.

Like I said earlier, every change is first uncomfortable. But what next when we start feeling comfortable with it? Well, that is the time to make the change again. No change is ever permanent. Change has to be changed again.

Change

Well, change is the only thing which is constant. And acting on this saying, I've just changed my Blog template and also the title of the Blog from 'The Last Page of My Diary' to 'Replica'. So I hope you like the change and keep showing your love as before. Please let me know about your views on this by commenting in the comment box.

Thank You All

With Love.
