"আলোর জাহাজ ফিরব ঘর আজ, বল না কতদূর?"

Some days you wish you were back in school. Nonchalance and ignorance were blissful attributes indeed. No cares, stress or uncertainty colouring every step. Worrying eats at you, till your insides turn to putty. If you shut it all off and turn it down do you become less human?

The dichotomy of feeling and thinking is overwhelming. One is the precursor to the other one. There is no way to pick any one of the two. 

Oblivion cannot be a solution when you start caring. Caring and feeling, dangerous things. They invite with them euphoria, promises of fairytales and the responsibilities that are entailed. Love, duty and social constructs. Navigation skills challenged on the daily. Frequent flyer you maybe but how strong is your ground crew? You think you know them but do you indeed? Your strengths, weaknesses, qualities...self reflection is the hardest pill to swallow. Perhaps, one day we'll learn what it is that makes us 'us'. Till then it's all but just a pursuit of that feeling called 'home'. A sense of belonging and holding on to the hope of it all.
