Home

A lot of us left for different cities after school. We met people who weren't like us, we saw cultures that differed and we came across belief systems that were alien to us. Slowly and gradually our approach towards life began to change, our perceptions began to alter and we learnt things hitherto unknown to us. We then went back home and sprinkled a little bit of our new found selves onto our families, and fostered mutually reinforcing growth. Perhaps this is why we all need to live by ourselves for a while, to see who we are apart from our given identities and merge the best of it all into what we were brought with. But sometimes when I look around myself, I'm disheartened to see that a lot of us left for different cities after school but some us just never went back home.
