Who am I.....

Five o'clock in the morning and you've been awake 2 hours. You look out of the balcony. "It'll be light soon", you reassure yourself, "and I won't be alone anymore." Its tough being alone even when the others are just sleeping in the room next to you. Somehow, loneliness is unbearable. It stretches your patience and sense of self to the max. After some time, you crave human contact. WHY???

She rolls her eyes from you to your neighbor. Your neighbor smiles and calls out to her. He absolutely adores her; loves her. He reaches out and takes her in his arms. You smile. She's looking at you now. Like a baby looks at everything. Like every baby looks at everything. You wish the moment lasted forever. You click a snap of her. She's cute; she's beautiful; she's the prettiest girl that you have seen. You love her too. And yet you can bear to have her in another's arms. What is it that this girl of a few months arouses in you? WHAT???

You love change. You like new clothes. You like new cars. You even like new friends. You like travelling. You have been to cities, towns and villages. You have been to the hills, the valleys and the lakes. Yet you go again. Back to those simple things. The same pristine spring that flows from the mountain. The same woods where you used to bring your spouse when she wasn't your spouse. You marvel at the origin of these simple pleasures. You marvel at who could have designed them. WHO???

Query + Curiousity = Queriousity.
