Was reading through “Why Loiter’s chapter 9 on commuting” by Shilpa Phadke, Sameera Khan and Shilpa Ranade, and came across the line where the writer mentions how a certain individual feels like belonging to Mumbai because “she have finally mastered the dynamics of Bombay local train”. I felt exactly same with the confident thought of knowing almost all the different coloured lines of Delhi metro. Then nostalgia hit me since recently I moved out of Delhi (after spending 7 wonderful years) and I realised we feel like we belong to a certain place and then one fine day we suddenly don’t. We then start our process of adjusting and struggling to “belonging to a different place”. Isn’t this continuous our whole lifetime. I guess the ruler here is “Time”. Time is inevitable and it is the one which determines our belongingness. So make the most out of the place you currently are (even though you might hate it now) because you will never realise the time will be up for that place too!!
