Remembering home ....
Its been over 6 yrs since I have been away from home. I have heard - home is where the heart is or sum such cliche. all tht means is my heart for sum reason is stuck in my home back in India.
I was so bloody homesic & just so tht I wld not worry my siblings & parents - i did wht I always do - called my dear friend (who no matter wht time of the day or nite I call him, no matter how busy he is, will always and makes time for this friend of his) - thnx tank-boy.
has anyone out there missed home so much that u have remembered thngs, like felt the stuff around u, smelt the smells - well I did. It was almost surreal. I remember the smell of earth after the 1st showers - its not a memory I did actually smell it. I have no clue if the sub-conscious conjured it but it was so real. It reminded me of sittng @ my window & soaking in the 1st rains.
I must have dozed off I don't remember.It brought back memories of times spent at home- watching water drip off the roofs, colourful umbrellas bobbing,colourful raincoats & of course the plastic sheets covrng not only gds but the veg seller too. I remembered seeing the sea change colour as the rain clouds moved in, the disappearing shoreline on the other side of the bay :-)
i remember those lazy summer holidays, spent playng all day till u went home for lunch & a short time spent at home readng books with all your friends & then back to play in the eveng.
so many fond memories - I think the moment u move away fr home, it triggers all the fun times and stuff u r gonna miss and tht stays with u like forever and ......
