It's a circle isn't it?

Have you ever felt "Oh! I am back to the square one"? When after toiling hard for years, you created a comfort zone for yourself, when for a while you felt that life is having a smooth ride, and suddenly one day you wake up and see that you have gone back to the very point, you started your journey from? Doesn't everything around us move in a circle and we reach back to the same point, we start putting the pieces together from? 

I don't know, but I am going through the same phase. I have never been a big fan of a city like Delhi and when some 5-6 years back, I was leaving Delhi and shifting base to Bangalore, it was a big relief. Bangalore seems to be the city of my dream, neither too fast nor too slow, a perfect place for a guy like me and I started meeting and making good friends along the way. Everything was so very perfect like a fairy tales and I was happy in my comfort zone, but then I was shaken and thrown back to the same city i.e. Delhi. I am again fighting for my survival today with a new employer, new faces, new surrounding, new climate, and very much everything so new and different. 

Today, when I wake up, I don't see green Bangalore moving at its own pace but a busy Delhi with tall buildings. I don't see friends at office, but colleagues. I don't see the plans of future, but the plans of survival. Life has come back to the same point, I started my journey some 5-6 years back. It seems life doesn't let go anyone by running away. I sneaked away years back from Delhi to Bangalore, where my comfort zone was, and it seems life allowed me the time of around 6 years to hone my survival skills and then brought me back to the same city to fight again. It is a circle, you may leave few dot behinds before moving ahead but you have to come back to connect those dots to give it a perfect shape. 

All apprehensions have melted away and my head is clear now. Today, I look back and see myself having a gala time in Bangalore and when I visualize the future, I find myself becoming a stronger person than ever. It is going to get better because it's Him, who is present everywhere but considered staying somewhere behind the layer of the sky, has chosen it for me and I believe that He can put you in hot water but He knows that weather is going to be so cold that you are going resort to that hot water to survive. He is expecting me to come out as a winner and I can't let Him down. I am focused and committed to connect the dots, I had left behind last time to make the circle of my life a perfect one. Amen!!
