Some words are like water in spoon while some contains whole ocean in them. Home is such a word – so vast and so deep is its meaning. When you look up in dictionary for this word , you will only find direct and exact meaning – ‘residence or native place’ but in literature as well as in life Home word has different connotations . Home , the word instantly gives the feelings of comfort , ease , warmth , affection ,care , love etc. etc.
What is a Home? Where is it found? One should better ask these questions to those who are living away from their homes. If we don’t talk about the general characteristics or significance of Home , like home made food … obviously its so delicious and yummy that one can not forget it even though if he lives on five start hotel’s food , but there is something more about Home. When I wander here and there , go for shopping , walk in parks and when I am on way to home – just the sight of my colony brings in homely feelings with it… I feel safer ,secure , happy . When you are with strangers , suddenly the sight of a friend gives you unknown happiness , you feel you are at home.
Home is certainly related to family so , I ask , What is a Family? Family is your parents , kids , siblings , blood relatives , love and friends . Whenever and wherever you are with them , its your home. Even those who are close to Nature they feel at home around nature.
By the way why I am writing about Home? Perhaps because tomorrow I am leaving for my home . Really what I had till 12th I did not realize it then but now I have learned , I have learned the value of Home . And now when I am here I try to value my new place , after all its my new Home . Isn’t it?
