They said, apples do not fall far from the tree. 

For a time, I kept telling myself, I am not an apple. I am a coconut- destined to drift off to somewhere far, exotic and exciting. And I dreamed of distant shores. The idea of being able to liberate myself- To be as far away as possible from the roots which I so dislike,was delightful. Oh, the people I shall meet, the stories I shall tell! 

 But recent happening just made me realize- I was just fooling myself. 

I am still an apple. And I shall never be any much better off than what the original apple tree was. But I will still try. But I will never be so sure about how different I shall be. Or how far can I stray from my roots. 

Because no matter how hard I try, I am still an apple. And they say-apples do not fall far from the tree.

Tangled up thoughts.
 Before and After

Yesterday,just for a moment, I nearly felt like we were back in the days where this picture was taken.We had little, but we were so happy.

And thats all that matters.
