Home has been on my mind a lot lately, probably because I’m faced with the fact that I may have to move out soon. Friends keep telling me I need to move out. But, being at home amongst people I know is comforting.
While it's wonderful being on holiday, I can’t help but long to go home… to be where everybody knows my name... to be back in the presence of those who know and love me, those who care for me...friends, family, familiar faces on the roads, familiar sights.
While driving home after being away, I look out for vehicles with Goa number plates, an indication that I'm that much closer to home. I cheered out loud when the plane landed in Goa after I go back from my holiday.
It has become a joke with my friends that we can’t go anywhere without running into someone we know. And it’s true. An old neighbour. A classmate from school. Familiar faces everywhere.
Here, you can never get the feeling of being just another anonymous person in a big city. Growing up, we sometimes craved for privacy, to be in a restaurant/park/beach without fear of running into a familiar face. *smile*
I couldn’t be happier to be here... and I know I'll miss it all if I ever have to move away.
