"Home Sweet Home"

I have blurted this idiom most often than not with a huge smile & a sigh of relief adding flavor to it! Never paid too much heed to why this phrase always comes to my mind when I come back “home.” It doesn’t really matter if I am back home after a short break or a long hiatus, I still feel charged up when I step into my home. It is pretty ironical to the fact that you might really be dead beat after a long journey or a hectic vacation/trip, yet there is this feeling of ecstasy, it’s a secure & comforting feeling that requires no elucidation whatsoever.

Sharing an apartment with acquaintances, called “roomies” has been a rollercoaster experience, not to forget the great friends I have made during this stage of my life…they have been more like family :)

It feels fantastic though, to reside in your own home with your loved one(s)…The initial setting-up of your home is an electrifying experience – the shopping, rustling up the right selections, choosing the perfect colors, sketching the most appealing placements and so much more. Decorating it just exudes your persona…it’s a true reflection of who you really are, and thus it makes your home - your cozy dwelling. Just to be home for a tranquil coffee-time in the evening, we end-up calling for a war with time at work :)…that’s just a very trivial example that vindicates the beauty of “home sweet home.”

The most important facet of why this idiom makes perfect sense is that the “sweetness” comes from the ambiance that your home radiates and from the people that live there!

In seeking the luxuries of life in an unquenchable pursuit,
We fail to enjoy the simple pleasures enroute.

In seeking the definition of love in a mystified quest,
We fail to decipher the feeling it blessed.

In seeking the comfort of home in a rat-race mission,
We fail to love our own people with passion.

It’s imperative to remind ourselves…

Home is where you learn to walk,
Home is where you learn to talk,

The outer world manages to entice,
But home is where the heart resides!
