Some reflections on “what is home” in the process of packing, transitioning, shifting, unpacking, settling, letting go in May 2023
Home is where the heart is they say
A place where one can just be
Where one can take refuge
From troubles of the world
A place you share with those
Who will offer this refuge.
Where my nostalgia can be found
Where my nostalgia that I don’t have physical space for can be kept safe
A place where I can find bits of me
The old mes in old photographs and pressed flowers in used notebooks
The new mes in my reactions to the same old world
In the annoyed snap to the parent
In the yeh toh aise hi hain to the walls
