Back To Basics....

Its very hard to not Love Bombay especially if you have lived there!!! Imaging being born and growing up all your life there.... Its impossible to forget it!!

People often say, move on to better things in life.. What I do not understand is WHAT is a BETTER place apart from where you are born. Everyone goes through shit in life. Everyone thinks that they are suffering worst of all problems and always try to run from it- no one including me is an exception. But the core still remains, given all the vulnerability around, your childhood place remains the place to go and find peace..... think about it and you'll feel the same....

I first started writing this post as my childhood and my city... MUMBAI... the same day coincidentally, I happen to see Wake up Sid.. and that movie beautifully explains how I feel about Mumbai... By this I am not blaming that movie for me not writing that post anymore.. infact I am happy, I chose to write something even more deeper....

Letting go... this is what I want to write about today... its ironic that the post is titled as back to basics... but I have a justification for it and the content of the post...

Very often people use the term "let go" in different contexts... however essentially the meaning remains the same.. 'leave'.

I for this eternity thought I will have a problem with these two alphabets for i cannot let go in most contexts. However, seeing the way my life is turning into right now... I think I will soon adopt the policy of 'let go'. I stint with letting go started when I realized that you cannot keep all the people in your life.... you have to say good bye at one point... when you decide to say goodbye is when you realize that its probably not worth investing the in person- for all you may get is disappointed. Another thing that is ironic apart from the title (which I know I have to explain!) is that i let go off two people on the same day. Both people who were dear to me.... I guess I have realized its not worth investing in a one way relationship.... you are the one who ends up being hurt... selfish as it may sound.. I have learnt it the hard way. All this while with my minimal expectations rule I still cared about people..... even though I knew I want necessarily imp in their life... now I think I am ready to redefine my thoughts.... I am ready to not be bothered for people who do not respond... for people whom I know will not respond in the future... for whom I am just an existing entity....I am tired of keeping people in my life... now I am ready to stay alone (so I think atleast for today!)....

Back to basics means back to redefining your priorities.. redefining yourself ... it also means.. you come alone and you will have to leave alone......
