Life at full voltage
One important thing this recent depression taught me is to look at this world with awe, wonder and excitement. This world is ready to give us so much unconditionally, if only we are prepared to receive with no discrimination.
Previously, I used to think life is just about being happy. I believed that I am one of the few guys who is just destined to be happy no matter what setbacks. And setbacks I have had more than a handful.
But now, I guess Life is even beyond being happy, being successful (considered successful), seeing new places, meeting new people, leaving behind a legacy etc. Of Course living includes all this but also it offers something much more profound.
Sometimes the combined effect of all the aspects is greater than the sun total of all the individual aspects.
I have been kind of alone all these years and I kind of always inwardly resented that fact.
I was looking for company in some form or other. But now I realize life is a lonely business. And as life would have it, looks like my bachelor days are numbered.
Now I need to figure out to keep a space for myself and also for the person who might walk into my life.

We all come alone and leave alone, we do not know where we come from and where we go….Loneliness is a myth. We are not born with success, we are not born with money, we are not born with happiness (infact we are born with sadness of coming out of the womb of mommy and we all cry). Only when we open our eyes we realise to see at any given moment of time there are so many souls looking at us, for us, around us….
