The Grass is Greener on my side

It’s that time again when I am stuck at my home, all alone. The time when thoughts chase each other in my mind and my fingers have a job capturing the good ones. Just when one such thought was running by, I managed to catch it and put it into writing..

This time it was loneliness.. It has been a good teacher.. It is while being alone that I learnt to put my thoughts into writing.. It is the “being alone” that has actually allowed the thoughts to run as freely in my mind as the eagles soar in the sky..

I learned to make the kitchen my canvas and the food my masterpiece.. I was on my own when I cooked Gulab Jamuns for the first time (Although it sucked, it didn’t matter).. There were so many other things that I learned to cook.. Just because I was alone..

Being alone has taught me to let my emotions flow.. Through laughter, tears, writing... It is when I am alone that the memories tumble down like an avalanche..  Memories that make me smile, memories that make me cry, memories that remind me of the beautiful life that I’ve had..

Being alone has given me the best of the photographs.. Being alone has taught me to stay busy, restless.. Always on a quest to try something new.. And I obliged..

Being alone has given me the courage to travel.. To go places.. I learned to make journeys, unplanned.. I learned to get off at unknown stations.. Take off on unknown destinations.. Make mistakes.. Learn from them.. 

Being alone has made me realize that the grass is greener on my side.. It’s just that I’d never seen it from the other side.. ;)
