How does it feel to be in a place you have been years ago?
It's like meeting an acquaintance u knew long back..it's like..u have to re-introduce urself to that person/place again...
Sense the sights, smell, temperature..in a new way...
It's like adjusting urself to a place u called home years ago
An hour's drive in the early morning of 9th March from Dum Dum airport to Pretoria street gave me an eerie feeling..
The smell was so unfamiliar..the humidity so foreign that I had to ask myself.....Did I really ever belong to this place?
Born a Bengali,brought up in North East ..and having spent my growing years in Delhi & NCR..I often wondered...Where's my home?
To that ..once my Dad had replied..."The whole world is your abode...where u can make ur home..that's where u belong to..."

but thankfully its not been long enough for me to forget the humidity, the smells, the routes..
so far i'm safe... i guess.. but for how long? well I know..
as for ur dad's comment.. thats lovely! whoever would have thought i would actually develop some liking for blore.. however small it may be
Aah! Talking about familiar places which have turned unfamiliar and a friend who has turned a stranger..
Lemme me talk about a place I have never been to...but have always believed is mine in spirit...
Salzburg,Austria
The birthplace of Mozart,the the gateway to the Alps..Salzburg cathedral...and the Mirabell gardens... I know every place even though I haven't been to that place yet
the shooting of my fav movie "The sound of music " took place there..
And some day.. I know I am gonna be there..on my own expense
with the person I love most...
Taht reminds me..I cud write a post about MY LIFE'S TASKS :D
or abt the person u love the most!
it'l be a toss up, and a close call to see which one will be more interesting to read abt!
:-)
u talk abt Salzburg, i talk abt other galaxies.. thats where my heart is.. away from this place.. this mess.. this....

@zoxcleb

@harry
right u r..some things never change...like the one and a half hrs drive to a temple in Udaipur I have been going to for years now...
well.. aparna.. i'l see whats behind door number one!
that reminds me of the refreshing kool breeze of my hometown , the known faces whom I have seen all this years throughout my journey of life. And suddenly one day i realise that i`m far away from all of them into a whole new unkown world ..it does pains but then i try to figure out the good things taht place has to offer and that thought makes me feel at ease.
thanks aparna that was a very memorable post..
@ Omar

If my words can strike one chord that's close to ur heart..I will think it has not been a waste:)
@Lost
Rien .
Laissez-moi essayer .
Essayez de gagner une bataille perdante .
