#The journey back to home tv

The luxuries our parents grew us up with Living in the US is like living in a DIY (do it yourself) kind of country. And the people you once thought were taking away your private time are the only faces you will long for. Looking back, all I miss is a big grand table, with a big grand family, eating and laughing together, over a delightful grand meal. Ironically the first dining table you will ever buy as an NRI will fit two or maximum four, and will be more of an artifact in your apartment. But once you are away, big family meals are gone too.

#The journey back to home tv

I remember when we were young, how we denied eating at the dining table, just because sitting on the bed and eating while watching TV seemed to be the better option. Nevertheless we all have a huge list of relatives, lots of visitors, and all this calls for daily family meals. The value of joint families and family meals Growing up in India, there is a fairly high chance of coming from a big joint family. Things that you do not value until you are away. I wonder what I am looking forward to, is it my house, my family or simply all things that have always been purely mine? And even though I have hardly anything to complain about my life back in the US, I do agree I am looking forward to something's you can only get in India. Truly, this is a feeling I can't express completely. It's funny how I remember how my hometown really smells like, that fragrance of growing up in my city.

With butterflies in my stomach, I am visiting home after long and my old sweet bedroom is all I can think off. A few hours to home, I am actually writing this on my plane, sitting restlessly in my passenger seat.
