Is it my Own ?


 Human mind is always in search of one thing : Peace .... Its so amazing to see what a man does to bring peace to himself .... to his own self ....
                As i landed in Delhi .... I was in search of the same .... An entire night alone ... made me search for familiar faces .... I saw my friends and my mind rested in Peace .... What is it that gives us peace ?? New friends?? New job ?? New city ??? I dint bother to think about it .. too excited of my new internship ... exhilarated about the new sooo ‘heared about’ place , out own Capital , Delhi...
                I never thought of coming to this place until today and trust me I was so damn nervous ..  A place famous for frauds , unsafe for girls , city full of pollution , and terrors .... My first few days just went in adjusting myself to its dry hot weather .The unknown roads , difficult commute , salty water and sun so hard on you , it was truly challenging time.....
                                As i started roaming around , I found the city more interesting ... Travelling alone gave me opportunities to visualise and experience some things i wud generally have missed . The city is just like Mumbai .... people running trying to cope up with the fast moving Time ,  there were rich .. so filthy and so classy ... there were poor by the road side .... people craving for money more than comfort .... people moving towards west with their legs firmly bound to the Indian soil .... all this and much more ..... It was soo much like my own city....
                First few days were full of loneliness , and worry .... New place induces a certain kind of creepy feeling ... Cos the mind is full of things said and heard .... but totally inexperienced ...
                I missed the trains back home , the people there , my language , the food ..... and there were many more things that wont be justified of mention....  Days passed by and the place became a lil familiar ....
And then one day it rained............. all the dust gone ... all the dirt removed .... all the pain washed ...I decided to to make the city my own ....
                And........ then the things became sooo soo easyyy .... i became fond of the food , observed the places ... looked amusingly at the people around .... they were all the same ..... same as my own people out there ..... the place was mine now .... and i was all over the city...
                I settled down and started loving the place . People say human mind s very adjusting .... It keeps on trying , works hard to find one thing ... Peace .... My mind was finally at ease and heart was smiling back .... It was all due to my dear friends and my changed outlook .... I am back .... and so is peace of my mind ... still wondering ... is it my own ??
