Make me feel better..


I am sometimes scared of wonderful and fun moments. Because you know, they come to an end. Then you have to move on. You have to miss those special people with whom you spent amazing times. Very recently I was on a vacation with some really lovable people. One of those friends is passionate about music. She asked me, "Do you know the song 10 o clock postman"?

10 'o clock postman bring me her letter
10 'o clock postman make me feel better...

Make me feel better....Most of my folks are away from me. Even the people I spent my vacation with. Even though I am enjoying my life and the work keeps me busy, I miss home and friends once in a while. I feel nostalgic. The things that keep me going are the emails, messages and the photographs. Why I love the song "10 'o clock postman" is because I totally understand and feel the emotion behind it. Reading a letter or an email from a dear one helps us to not miss them much. I read and re-read those emails. Maybe life is all about making those wonderful memories with wonderful people, and thinking about them when you are away from them. It is these emails, and the letters and also the postcards that make us feel much, much, better.

The lone traveller

In the past few months, I have been pretty much on my own. Away from friends and family and having set my foot on the foreign land for the first time in my life, I travelled a lot to many places on my own. I explored the new city, its malls, cafes, parks and streets- all by myself. I must say, it was wonderful! Really amazing! Once in a while, travel alone. Just you, a camera, and some money. Go to a nice, beautiful place, a lake, a beach, a village, whatever you like the best. Walk the tranquil roads by yourself. You will enjoy, and will spend some quality time with yourself. Try taking nice pictures of the place. Socialize with random people, the other tourists, and you will realize that humans are the same everywhere (unless you are very unlucky to meet grumpy people). All this time that I spent journeying alone, I got to know myself a little better. For everyone, there has to be something, that is the most important to them in their life. It may be their family, career, a loved one, their hobby, or anything else. I realized my 'ground' in life, my 'fall-back pillar'..the things most important to me. And therefore I say, pick up your bag and start a little trip with you and yourself!!
