It's been quite a while since I didn't update...I APOLOGISE!...

I ended my second semester and am currently on break...so decided to go home ...

I came home and have been busy since then, catching up with everyone.

I remember my cousins said "Once u leave home for college..It's never gonna be the same when you return"...I FELT IT.

Don't know what it is but I felt it...

I remember how excited I was when I booked my flight...couldn't concentrate on the finals ahead...

As the day of my homecoming approached, nostalgia tugged at my heartstrings, like a sweet melody from my past. Memories of laughter in the backyard whispered secrets with childhood friends, and the warmth of family dinners enveloped me in a cocoon of sentimentality.

The moment my feet touched familiar ground, I felt a sense of completeness that only home can provide. The hugs and smiles from loved ones were medicine for the soul, erasing the distance of a year and replacing it with an instant bond. Time seemed to fold as if the year had never passed, and we were all picking up where we left off.

I never expected coming home can be this exciting.

The smallest details that we often took for granted become significant during our homecoming. The sound of familiar laughter, the sound of our parent's voices, and the comfort of a warm home-cooked meal felt like treasures that no wealth in the world could replace. Being home realized me to appreciate the little things that make life beautiful.

did I miss my hostel Friends?...ofcourse I did...

During these days, there were some moments when I missed my friends, missed the hostel fun, and those movie nights.

The experience of coming home from a hostel after a year was a powerful reminder of the significance of family, love, and tradition. The embrace of home embraced me with a sense of belonging that cannot be replicated elsewhere.

As the days of returning approached, a war of mixed emotions ran by.

The excitement of meeting my friends, reuniting with the little home I created there in one year, but the pain of leaving the comfort of home, leaving again those caring hands of our parents, leaving all again...

I realized the need for appreciation.

Appreciate every moment that you get, feel blessed in all moments, cause Happy or Sorrow-no moment lasts forever...
