This and that

Every night as I prepare to retire for the day, I wonder at how quickly the day has ebbed away. The 3 weeks of vacation would soon be just another bunch of memories to be reminisced in subsequent Skype calls.

I look back at the day and try to recollect each moment. Amidst the euphoria of the time well spent, a slow melancholy seeps in. Alas! The time is gone by. The day is gone, the moment is far away in time. It is all so quick, I wonder if I appreciated the moment well enough. 

I wonder since when did our homes become our vacation destinations? Why do I have to pull my heart away and leave this place I call home? The answer is proven and time tested by generations before me - to grow out of the cocoon and grow colourful wings, to explore.

I compose myself with these thoughts and lull myself another peaceful sleep in my nest.
