Except for smell, home is mainly about a house, a city, a person, a feeling, and, of course, a memory.
Everyone has their own opinion of what home is. Many people have their own perspectives on what home means to them.
But for me, home is a safe place and a comfort zone where I can always rest and relax within the four walls of a room.
A home is also like a temple (Mandir) to me, where I always pray to God and perform traditional rituals to make the entire environment of my home blessed, neat, and clean.
Every home and the four walls of a room tell a story, where families reunite and spend quality time together, making the home environment beautiful.
Surprisingly, whenever the topic of home comes up, one thing always comes to my mind: how to decorate a home. For that, both creativity and design play a role, allowing me to create a space that spreads positivity. In this way, the light of a home can sparkle, bringing joy and happiness into our lives as we stay in a beautiful home.
When I hear the word “home”, the memory that comes to my mind is a nostalgic one — where I used to study and play, always balancing and solving electricity issues. This is also an important aspect that makes a home a beautiful place.
The definition of home does not change over the years, as there is no reason for it to do so. For me, home is not only a beautiful place but also a comfortable space where I can feel safe and enjoy myself.
Yes, I have realized that whenever I am outside — maybe in another city or anywhere else — I feel homesick, not just for a place, but for a version of life that no longer exists. This feeling is often connected to shifting from one place to another.
Whenever I have changed homes, I have felt homesick.
Although it takes time to adjust to a new home, the old home where I spent my childhood — where I studied, enjoyed, and played — becomes a memory that can never be forgotten.
Home, as a safe space, always creates happy and beautiful memories, allowing me to live comfortably while enjoying and relaxing.
