Lonely Planet

and lonely me.... No I am not depressed, it occurred to me on one of the flights, while i was traveling crazily from one state to another in USA. I covered 5 states in 3 weeks trying to meet as many people as i can. On one of those flights while returning back to the place I worked, i was looking out of the window of the plane. It was already night and the cities were glowing far beneath, it was raining heavily at a far away place and the lightning appeared like a silver lining amidst the dark and dense clouds. Such a beautiful sight and when I turned my gaze inside the cabin it was mostly dark and everybody were asleep and it was as if the whole scenery was just made for me and me alone to appreciate. That was when I felt loneliness, amidst all the people, I was one among them, I was like every body else, but again totally different and totally isolated from everyone. Just like the planet, one among the many billions of heavenly bodies in the galaxy, yet so different, yet so lonely. Is this how it would have felt too, if it had a soul!!!!
