Worth The Wait...

As I came back to my hostel room the other night after dinner, I sat on the bed and felt, “Yar, Ghar Ki Yaad Aa Rahi Hai.” Remember  how I mentioned about “curiously waiting for the day I start to feel homesick..”?, I felt a slight inclination of it that day. The next day when I went to the city and was sitting inside the bus, seeing the busy roads, traffic jam, high buildings.. again Delhi came to mind. For 3 long years during my under-graduation , I used to mostly travel by bus. So those days got refreshed again. For the next few days, some of the home memories continued to occupy my mind- the people, food, room, TV, pet, leisure, roads, places..... 

I knew I wasn’t homesick, but I also knew that for the first time in over 12 weeks in Pune, I was missing that Delhi feel. Initially, it was like I came as a bird willing to go places, but for the past few days, I was like a bird who would go places only when needed. First time away from home, I knew this would happen someday, but happily enough, I still strive to stay here because there have been instances which just made my diary of memories, if I ever compile one. My parents often ask me “So all good na? You have the course of your choice now, how’s it?” I always reply that they shouldn’t expect a eureka moment every other day, this was like any other B-School but pertained to what I was interested in. So while I haven’t really broken any academic records so far, there have been those moments every now and then that give me the satisfaction and happiness nothing else can. It’s during those moments that I say to myself,
“Yes! You’re good enough.”

This day, two months from now, I will be sitting back home in Delhi. I’m waiting for that day, but not longing for it. Have you heard of the word “utopia”? It means a perfect world. I’m looking to create my own utopian world- one where I stay on the hill to work towards achieving what I set out to, and then returning home, to the place where I came from. That world is still a work in progress, just like the picture on the right. 

Till the time it that perfect feeling is achieved, the wish to go back home is definitely worth the wait.
As for you'll, the wait is till next Sunday when I share a new post.

Until Next Time...
Take Care :)
