51) The Trade-off
Sometimes I miss that innocence, bachpan wala, Although the increased maturity makes me proud, I miss the simplicity of things, the small joys, Though it is fun to think and talk of deeper, philosophical things. I love my independence, my freedom, But I miss the warmth of my family around, Getting exposed to new people, places, experiences is nice, Yet my heart yearns for that secure ghar wala feeling. A trade-off, compromise, a balancing act, Whatever the term you choose to use, But life never lets you have everything you want at once, Kyunki kuch paane ke liye kuch khona bhi toh padta hai!
