What is that hollowness in the heart.?
Have you ever seen a lost child in a shopping mall? He is among crowd but is so insecure, because he is alone among the crowd seeking one look of some familiar face. We all familiar with the term ‘Alone among the crowd’ because that crowd is unknown to us, they are just physical entities moving around us, without any relationship with our heart and mind.

Why that feeling of ‘I am not at home’ is there even we are living in a secured place with all the family. What is that pungent hollow feel which you experience even when you are asleep? What is that urgent need to be consoled, to be held close, to be comforted, to be hugged, to be acknowledged, to be a part of something, to be filled with soul, to be full with nectar?
