the yearning to be one of them..sigh!!



Identity. The ever mysterious identity. It’s been a ruse that has always baffled me since I have been finding one myself. The quest begins right when you start being in a crowd, and yes! 3’s considered a crowd.

The paradox in human nature to want to fit in & not to be singled out, while at the same time to want to stand out, to be unique enough to be noticed is intriguing, fascinating. Oddly enough we find comfort in the adaptation in our surrounding environment & the knowingness of being one of them. It’s strange that we often desire both, with the same intensity & passion. If there were no societal pressure, who do you think we’d really be? Would we recognize ourselves then? Or would that be the start of our journey in truly finding out who we are.

People spend a lifetime just finding the right balance. And then suddenly you meet someone who has the courage of conviction, who doesn’t give a damn to fit in, someone who is free-spirited. Meeting such a person inspires us to find ourselves.
