"Yours Truly"

Years of mere existence amidst the human race can never leave you untouched. Each passing moment leaves an impression like patterns on an untrodden path.The mind studies its surroundings and forms its opinions and viewpoints about life and in general everything it encompasses. I found bits of me over the years, been a constant struggle though having to re-locate not just physically but in terms of the mind and emotion.

Finding myself in a new school every 2 years gulping in a new culture and blending in with the crowd. Sure it was hard letting go of familiar things and a life-pattern that I got accustomed to, but not for once have I regretted any of it. As I left each place I carried with me a piece of it in my being my personality and character. If not for the movement and variation in my life and surroudings I would have missed out on soo much. I've learnt to smile through roughtimes, to feel strong in my lows, to want to dream and make them real, to hide my pain and instead find medicine in another's laughter.

To have faith in myself and trust others. To be ready to venture the unknown and experiment. But the most beautiful lesson learnt is that happiness is not expensive, I've learnt to enjoy and appreciate the smallest of things and the most insignificant of gestures. I've also developed an unsatiable urge to see those around me rolling with laughter. Sure there are times I wish I could just be, but the time to leave comes and you just learn to move on... to forge new relations and make fresh memories...

At present a sense of content and sheer joy overwhelms me at the thought of all the places I've stayed in the 15 odd houses I've made my home and the best of it all the friends I've made each of whom helped me discover who I am and what I can do. Though most of them I hardly meet its only a matter of closing my eyes and memories flood back from the times spent in solving the wonders of algebra to watching the waves wash away our names on the sea-shore. Those lovely people came into my life or rather I barged into theirs to develop a bond that seems so wonderful, and one I will always cherish..
