Lost and Found

One world,

In which to lose yourself

So many worlds,

Through which to find yourself

And yet, the former is so much easier

Well penned Kunal, discovering oneself has always been a challenge compared to getting lost , isn’t it?

The essentials can be said in few words, the non essentials are verbose. Well said Kunal.

I hope you’ve had a happy Diwali Kunal and that you are doing well. Interesting thought to ponder. Shall I say that I agree with your thinking though each (losing yourself and finding yourself) each have their place and time. Getting lost can be such an adventure, getting found can be like summiting – not that I would know though – can only imagine.😀

  Hi, Chev! As usual, you’re right with your observation. I agree that there’s merit in losing yourself at times, as well; both are journeys of discovery.
  
  Many thanks for your wishes. You well, I hope?

    It was great, I found it a little overrated. But I absolutely loved Italy! It turned out to be quite the exhausting vacation and I’ve been hibernating since I’ve come back. Will get some pictures on the blog soon. Hope all’s well. 🙂

    To the contrary, I absolutely loved Venice! But I guess it was because I kept Paris for the end, I was completely drained by the time I got there. This calls for a second trip!
