I passed through the same streets I had walked through for eight years, still couldn't relate to anything around. Watching those school kids loaded with huge bags on their back, some with a raincoat on and some holding an umbrella, brought back some faint memories from the past. I used to be one of those kids living in a village, a real playful kid, who had no worries in life, but only think of the games I had to play in the coming vacation. Always thought that I will be taken care of without realising one day even I would grow up and be a part of the nasty world out here, where you got to earn your own penny, deal with difficult situations and people and take care of yourself.

The temple I used to visit everyday, my school, the small shops I used to buy groundnuts and chocolates from, the trees I spend hours sitting under, the stream I used to catch fishes from all looked the same, somehow I felt different. Everything looked smaller to me. Is it because I have grown bigger?

I havn't gone too far from where I came from, still I looked very distant from what I came across during my visit to my hometown Ernakulum. Sometimes I wish I had remained there but am thankful for the lessons life has taught me and the experiances I have had in my life so far. I must admit that I am changed person now, for the better, ofcourse!

(Lots more to write... don't have the patience right now...So excuse me!)
