Visiting Home

Every time I go home, and its time to head back,

Every time Amma asks me to stay for some more time,

Every time I sit in a flight and watch the coconut trees becoming smaller and smaller,

I have tears swelling up in my eyes!


PS: I have just been home for a good 5 days and I just did not want to come back so quickly!

  1. I know what you mean. Everytime I leave for home, I miss what I leave behin. When I am coming back from home, I miss my home that I leave behind. Leaving something behind is always harder.

  9. Crying is not stupid per se..i think even at 50 you will cry for the same reason...and it is quite natural...

  11. I so identify with what you've said.. I just got back after a 7 week vacation and felt just as bad.. Leaving parents is getting more and more difficult with each passing year...
