“At the beginning of our life, we may feel bare and helpless and gradually adorn ourselves with the most fanciful trappings, trying to be ‘someone else’. After erring and drifting, we eventually realize we want to discover ‘ourselves’, without any airbrushing, so as to meet our real self and not the one imposed on us. ("Lost the global story.")”

“Oh Kabira, where are you going?
Are you going away again?
Have you forsaken your true love?
Have you forgotten your own own words?
The night will never end
And the stars will keep on shining
Are you going to be sad, forever?
Are you going to be a wanderer, forever?
You will never find sleep in your eyes
Because your mind keeps on drifting
If you keep on this drifting
You will never sleep in your life
For some people life means drifting
Wandering from place to place
They hitch-hike and walk
Traveling on the endless road of Life
Oh Kabira, where are you going?
Are you going away again?
Have you forsaken your true love?
Have you forgotten your own words?”
