treasure the 'everyday'!!!

We all have favorite places- places that make us comfortable- places that we relate to- places that we long to go to- places that make up a thousand memories- and sometimes just places that we have inhabited at some point of time on a daily basis...

it could be the house that you lived in - the school that you went to- your neighborhood park - the street that you frequented- your favorite restaurant- your workplace- your playground- your temple, your corner store... some place that you belong to - in some way or the other has interacted with you...

ever wondered- or ever experienced the feeling of seeing these places being demolished?... it hurts... yes to see it torn down but more when you realize that the place doesn't exist if you feel like going back to it sometime in the future...

Just like everything else - they stay now only in your memory -

and just like we value everything in life - you learn to value these 'everyday places' which we almost take for granted
- because there are a thousand bulldozers waiting there to tear them down... might just be something different in their place next time you visit!
