Home is where ______ is

Home has been an important place, especially at a time like this, where we are encouraged to stay indoors. I am humbly grateful for being in a home where my family is. My family is my home. It does not matter where we are or where we stay. My family and I have changed over ten homes. We have spent endless months in hotels, guest house, grandparents' place without knowing where our next home will be. One could blame a person, their job, circumstance, but it never mattered as long as I have my mom and years later, my little brother. We started moving around ever since I was one year old. I've always been with my mother, supporter her the best I could in the transition phase. At times we did not know why we were moving. I would not know when my last day in school would be. My home isn't a house of luxury; it is where my mom is.

I have naturally never been attached to a worldly place. But to name a few memorable places I have lived has been Calcutta and Hyderabad. My mother does mention about the pleasure we had living in Gujarat, but I was a newborn, too young to remember. As I grew older, around 12 years, I thought I was a gypsy, always changing home—silly me. Transitioning from one place to another was hard, especially as I grew older. As long as I have my mom and her love and support, that is where my home is. And my little brother who brightens up my house.

My little brother, the ray of sunshine and my mom, the sun.
