At the Crossroads
When land of birth beckons
There has always been a tendency to go to a foreign land for better prospects. It can also be the case of greener pastures across the hedge. Leaving the land of one's birth is like passing through a dark tunnel with the eyes fixed on the glimmering light at the other end. The dream world provides new incentives, accompanied by new expectations. When things fall into a pattern and the aching limbs get the needed repose, the mind gets into the nostalgic mood. Then the situation is akin to-“And we are here as on a darkling plain swept with confused alarms of struggle and flight”.
