Was home for a week. It was after a gap of five months this time.. that's a long time according to my standards. And for some reason I noticed a lot of changes this time.. changes that have been there for a while but I never really looked at them. Sometimes we don't look at changes, sometimes we see them and ignore them because they make us uneasy. We are often too drunk 'on the wine of youth' to delve into realities.. realities that remind us of our responsibilities. The fact that it's time to take up reponsibilities had upset me till now. But during this trip I realized that things will be the way they have to be, my direction will remain the way I want it to, but making the journey pleasant requires only a bit of understanding. Everything's just a play of different perspectives. My life will probably be very different from what it was a few years ago, but I can't lose the touch of that which I belong to.
The whole journey is fascinating. If you look at your parents closely.. their lives, their changes, their efforts.. you get a glimpse of it. And at times like this you want to stop and stay where you are forever, but you know that doesn't happen. You see your path and you know you have to move, learn, progress, evolve. You cannot always have every person you care for with you. But the least you can do for them is give your best to life, in every way. Let them be your strength and not your weakness. And be there for them whenever they need you.
