HOME IS WHERE THE HEART IS

Home, what does it mean? To some it means a box in an alley with hardly any food, water and with no money. To others it means living in a three storey house with 9 bedrooms. Webster’s dictionary describes a home as: the house in which a person or family lives. A family living together in one dwelling. The place where something is usually or naturally found. The country or place where one lives or where one’s ancestors lived.

To me, home means much more….its where I feel comfortable, a place where I am loved, where I am accepted as I am.

Over a period of time, I have had several homes; I grew up in a place called Kalimpong (West Bengal), the foot hills of The Himalayas, and that was my first home. I went on to the boarding school, and that too became HOME. After school I went to Darjeeling to finish college, and I think I spent some of the happiest moments of my life there. That was HOME to me also, I still miss those familiar surroundings.

I spent the next fourteen years of my life in Nagpur, where I got married, I made my own home there, it represented what I was, it was ME. It was not only a place, but a very integral part of my soul, my very existence, and my friends. It broke my heart to leave that place; I lost everything just because of some decisions I had to make in life. But I had no choice; I had to move on….and I did. I came back HOME…

Now when I think about home, the first thing that comes into my mind is the image of my mother, and my daughter. Home, for me, is the place where I can find my roots, a place that will always be there, waiting for me to return.

When finally, after so much time has gone by, I can honestly say, I am home. As I walk through my house, up the stairs and into my room, I feel happier than I ever felt before and I realize that most people do get a second chance. That not everything you lose, you lose for good. I understand more than ever the meaning of a home. It wasn’t just this house and rooms like most would think. It is home because I am happy, because I feel like I belong here.

 “Home is where the heart is” and I truly believe that now. And experiences like the ones I have gone through makes you value things a little bit more, because as long as you have a home to call your own, you know you belong somewhere.

I am there for YOU

Do you get that feeling when you don't want to talk to anyone?You don't want to smile or even try to fake it.Your mind tells you that there is nothing wrong,but you don't have an answer to give to the people around.You want to be alone and certainly, after a while people will not ask you and stop comforting you .That is the time, my friend,I will never take NO for an answer because you mean too much to me and I will be there for you till this feeling of your passes away and you can finally face yourself!!

As we walk on life's path everyday,we meet different people,some of whom we happen to meet by chance and some are sent specially to us in our journey through life.These special people become our friends,with bonds so strong that they are the ones who truly understand our joys and pain. I dedicate this write up to all those special people in my life, whether they are friends or family. I am fortunate enough to have you all and this is my small way of showing you what your presence in my life means.I wrote "Friends" but I believe that they are my extended family. 

Everything happens for a reason in our lives,I am absolutely sure about it that nothing happens just by chance; illness,love,lost moments of love,true greatness,or sheer stupidity and of course the impact of certain people in one's life. My friends have made their presence felt whenever I have needed them. My dear ones, I am sure while reading this, each one of you will identify yourselves.     

All I can say is that whenever you need me I will always be there to give you a hug which will brighten your day.If at any point in life you feel like crying,call out to me and even though I really don't know whether I will make you laugh, I guarantee that I will cry with you. Whenever you don't want to talk or listen to people around you,call me and I promise you that I will be silent. If you wish to escape from this maddening world, you can count on me. I will follow you. But, my dear friends if at some point of time you happen to call upon me and I don't happen to respond, do come to me, I am sure at that time I will need you by my side.  All you great people, I want you to know that the love and understanding we share has helped each one of us grow,and however tough the situations may have been,we have made it through.                                                                                                                                                                                                   

I am not sure whether I have lived up to all your expectations. I know I am not perfect, but all I can say is that at the end of the road,when each one of us will be following the guiding light, that will lead us to some place free from the darkness of this world, we will meet for sure and if we don't, just call on me and I WILL BE THERE.!!!!!!
