A question that is asked by many but only a few have an answer to it. The migration of humans and the advancements in communications technology means that we are closer to each other than we have ever been. However, why do we always yearn to go home when the time comes? Is your home the place you were born? If that's the case, for an American kid under social care, his home could be a hospital. If your home is where you grew up, then he would be lost as he would've lived in many households in his life time. Some say that a house is not a home until people start living in it but does that mean you want to go back there at any given moment in time?
A man sitting next to a fireplace watching white flakes falling down from his front window might think that this is not his home. At least he knows what his home is not. Life poses man with strange but with interesting questions. It all depends on how man responds to them. Most of us talk about our home in high esteem as it gave us a lot of fond memories. But for some, it could be the other way round.
Life is all about moments. A home is where we've had most of these moments. It could be good, bad or life changing. We endeavour to visit these moments again and again by being there in person or in memory. Home is where life was a beautiful song. The water tastes differently than anywhere else in the world. Home is where you are ushered with eternal love. Home is where you are accepted for who you are. Home is where you want to go back even after you've run away. Home is like a boomerang that whizzes past your ears when ever you hear a similar voice. It might be in the north pole or in a slum in India. Home is where you want it to be.
And that' where I'll be soon....
