Ever wondered and asked yourself this simple yet thought provoking question, where do you belong? Let me take you on a journey.
I ask you Today to choose
I ask you Today to think long and hard and use your grey matter like you have never used before
I urge you Today to speak to the most important person in your Life (i.e yourself) and seek answers
I go to the extent of goading you Today to know yourself a bit more than yesterday
And I do it for your own sake, to help you know where do you BELONG.
Are you willing? So, Let’s get rolling.
Let’s get detached from wherever you are. Let’s fantasize

The Mountain Mantra
Imagine YOU standing on a Mountain Peak at this very Moment after an arduous and adventurous climb but still game for more
Imagine the sound of the movement of the leaves and the chirping of the birds
Imagine the Zephyr dancing past your ears
Imagine the reverberations of the water streams flowing down the hills
Imagine scores of ice laden Peaks as far as the eyes can see
Imagine crystal clear blue sky kissing those peaks
Imagine acres of green fields
Imagine the animals grazing in those fields
Imagine a Hamlet sandwiched between those fields
Imagine not a care or worry for the World
Imagine not a soul in sight and the only company you have in this Moment is YOU
Imagine all the above in a single frame before your eyes.
Imagine the PEACE
LIVE THIS MOMENT
Does a feeling of Belongingness to Nature arise?
How does it make you feel?
Surreal….Sanguine….Euphoric….Buoyant….Optimistic….Upbeat….a feeling of belongingness to the Mountains
What if this Moment lasts an eternity?
Would you complain? Would you miss anything? Would you have any regrets?
If you won’t, this is where YOU will find yourself the most. This is the place where you would connect with yourself the most. This is where YOU would find an answer to all your questions in Life.
This is where YOU are YOU the most.
Go!!!! The Mountains are calling YOU.
Go!!!! Live the Adventurous yet a Peaceful Life

The Beach Bum
Let’s start another reverie. Let me take you through another journey and unwind
Welcome to a place where the land meets the sea
Imagine a Long walk on the beach with your Partner holding hands on a Summer eve
Imagine you on a Life high without any spirit having run past your throat
Imagine the trust of your bare feet on the Sand feeling the warmth
Imagine the waves gushing past your bare feet making a cry for a dive
Imagine the music of the Sea Breeze playing in your ears
Imagine a Long Summer Kiss with your Partner against the background of the fading sun
Imagine a sudden rush of adrenaline running down your spine
Imagine the calming effect the sea brings on your mind at the same time
Imagine things moving at a slow pace as if the day had 48 hours
Imagine writing names on the wet sand to get wiped off by the next wave
Imagine building castles on wet sand
Imagine you performing innumerable stunts on the water front
Imagine the view where the Sun gets doused by the Waters
Imagine the Dolphins performing acrobatic spins in the air
Imagine all the fun filled time on the sand and on water
Imagine the never tiring wave hitting the shore one more time
Imagine the flock of birds flying in to the fading light
Imagine the Sun bidding good bye bringing the Moon to shine
Imagine the Lighthouse far off serving as a navigational delight
Imagine a sense of belongingness to the scene.
Imagine a bird’s eye view of it all
LIVE THIS MOMENT
How do make of this?
How does it make you feel?
Adrenaline pumping….Fun and Frolic….Passionate….Romanticist….Wild….Fairy Tale like….Imaginary
Do YOU yearn to be here and never leave?
Does this bring out a sense of attachment to the place?
Does it give you a sense of Belongingness to such a place?
If YES, be here as much as you can for this is where YOU will find your true self.
Go!!!! The Beach is calling YOU
Go!!!! Live the Spirited Life

The City Site
Let’s go on the Mind trip one final time.
Imagine a place that never sleeps
Imagine the beautiful skyline
Imagine a diaspora from different cultures, race and religion co-existing at one place
Imagine noise and din all around
Imagine hustle and bustle all around
Imagine a sea of crowd as far as your eyes can see
Imagine being caught between crowds
Imagine not a place left to set foot on
Imagine the countless means of Entertainment
Imagine an insatiable desire for a Social Life
Imagine the craving for different cuisines all day long
Imagine the weekends with friends at Clubs and Parks
Imagine the late nights with the Special one
Imagine a Dinner Date at a roof top
Imagine the Infrastructure for one and all
Imagine the Slum and Skyscraper standing side by side
Imagine the theatre delight
Imagine a place where no day is the same.
Imagine the sirens of the Ambulance go by
Imagine an urge to shop from 9 to 9
Imagine a quick bite at a fast food joint
Imagine a day ruled by Social media
Imagine a place where you would hardly ever feel alone
Imagine a place you would never be bored
Imagine a place with opportunities galore
LIVE THIS MOMENT
How does this make you feel?
Too Occupied….Bustling….Charming….Cosmopolitan….Contemporary….Fascinating….
Is this where your Mind and Body and Soul wishes to be?
Do you feel a sense of affinity towards this place
If Yes, you’d rather be suited for living a Urban Life.
Consider yourself an Uber Cool Dude/Dudette.
To reach a conclusion
Here I AM,
This is ME,
There is nowhere else on Earth I’d rather BE.
My Sole Purpose in penning this particular Blog is to make you wanna realize where you ought to be more often than not.
I leave it here for YOU to decide for yourself.
As to where you must BE. Where you would find Happiness. Where you’d find your true Self
I wish YOU well, forever….
Cheers!!!!
Yo!!!!
