There is no place like here

This is the title of the novel I read few months back. It somehow fits my post perfectly. I was in my home having all the luxuries of being the youngest child in the house. One day a magical wind took my home to a new place. I was lost. I tapped my heel thrice and said “there is no place like home” but nothing changed..

It was dilli. A whole new city. I have come here to study b.com honors in DU. It has always been my dream to go to a new city and live there alone i.e. independently. But only after coming here I realized my life is going to change upside down. I have to wake up on my own. I have to wash my own clothes. I have to live with two other strangers in a single room. There were so many people around me talking a language which I barely understood. I felt so lonely. I missed my home. I missed my family and everything about Chennai which I didn’t give a damn when I was there.

But things started changing. I started seeing things differently. I was alone. I didn’t understand what others were talking about me or anyone else. So I started not caring about what others think about me. I can do anything which I want to do. I can now wear dresses not caring about what others think of what I am wearing. I don’t have to worry about my image because I don’t have one. Nobody knows me here. I can be a whole new person here. I understood I can make any place my home because home is just a place where your heart lies. So there is no place like HERE.
