A Nostalgia called Home!!!!!...Vol1

A House is made of bricks,,
but a Home is made of Hearts!!!!

Last month I had an oppurtunity to travel to my Native!!!
A place where my HOME is located...
A place where I had spent most of my childhood...
A place where my heart lies........
For people like us,,,who are working miles away from Home,,,away from their families and relatives...
"Going HOME" is a cherished oppurtunity..
An oppurtunity which is your colleagues envy, and owners pride!!
Yes, it came to me after a whole 8 months!!!!
It was an oppurtunity to me...
An oppurtunity of Life Time................................................


At around 3.30 am,,,,,,,I woke up to the smell of familiar freshness....
the freshness of the fresh air of the river Mahanadi.....
The river which proudly flanks my city......
The river which has grown with me.......
The River which missed me,,,,,,
And now it was now greeting me!!!
I jumped up from my bogey and peered out thru the window!!!.
It was dark outside with a few odd lightings.....
The city was still asleep......but not its charm....
I cud feel it...
I cud feel my city. It was my place...my native...and my HOME.

A feeling of owness gripped me!!!
As if u are seeing someone, close to your heart, right infront of u!!!! and that too after a decade.
God it is the same!!.... the same old place,,the same old city......
My heart melted in my eyes...


I cud not believe i was back to the same city!! The city, i once hated !!!....the city, i once wanted to leave, badly!!!...the city i had left........
And yes,,, Iam back.. to the same city. My city!!...

Baba and Mamuna had cum to receive me!!!!

I cud see them from a distance..waving at me.....Ahh My family was there to receive me,,,,,,

Wasn't I glad to be back among them!!!! yes...man,,,,I was... i was damn glad....

The city hasn't changed since then....

Same roads,,same building,,same trees,,,,same posters.....and the same familar curves.....They were all the same....Nothing has changed......But something has changed.....What???

Probably it was me!!!

The Auto chugged past familar lanes...to a familar destination... my heart was pounding in excitement.....How will it be????I had almost forgotten it.....

And then,,I saw it!!.my kennel,,,my shed,,,my place...my HOME...

It was the same!!...It was as fresh as it was when I left it....standing tall with its old dignity and warmth....

And at its doorstep, stood my mama...,, anxiously...waiting 4 me!!!!!

I rushed towards her and grasped her in my arms...

I felt safe..I felt relaxed..I felt satisfied... I knew I was back....

Months of rigidness melted in a few secs....

I knew I was HOME!!!

to be contd...
