Not just a place

Some things are not meant to leave just like the 5 minutes more  sleep in the morning hour or the movie climax. Similarly, home is a place where everyone not only want to go but rather it's a place,  where we all want to return. 

Being at home we firmly grip over things which gives us the sense of our own existence, the one which is only exclusive to us , be it the blanket of warmth , the chair which gives relief to our shoulder, the aroma of the kitchen or it may be that one spot in the balcony where we lean completely to look outside through our perspective. Beginning of thoughts, which roams in the corner and ceases in the ceiling , we take a tour in the home. No matter what the colour of the walls, it witness all our light and dark moments. The door connect us with this colossal world and also remind us to come back soon. Interestingly a home cannot be objectified it can reside within a soul also.

Leaving home is never easy, when things comes to end, everything makes a bit more sense than before it has been. A place which doesn't change with time neither ask us to change. So home is not just a place.
