They: so bhavna...where are u from?
me: i don't know...
5 seconds of awkward silence
they: well where is your home?
me: i don't kno...
silence again...then a fake smile from both the parties
they:ok...let's keep it simple. where is your family.
me: baroda......well as of now baroda.
they: what?
me: well they just moved in a day ago
they: ...
me:i gotta go...nice talking to you...
chandigarh, hoshiarpur, bareilly, chandigarh, mumbai, hyderabad, Kolkata and now Baroda...yes, u guessed it....my dad is in a bank....it ain't easy
just wn im sure that i have found "friends"...i know i gotta move away.....the word "home" doesn't mean mch to me
earlier i used to feel that it's a movement away from something with no sense of a "movement towards"...and it used to leave me helpless....
but now i have friends in all corners of India(thanks to my relatives that are spread throughout the country)..
it's amazing to have known so many cultures and so many different kinds of people..i still don't kno if it is a movement "towards" something but i think i have found my place...within
feels good to b home....
