Sentience of home…

          It can be anywhere in the world. As long as you get the feeling of belonging. Sometimes this happens by meeting and connecting with new, wonderful people,visiting another city or country that really feels comfortable to you. You cannot exactly describe why you get that nice, warm fuzzy feeling, but you know that you get. That’s true, far more than true!
          In the world of today more people than ever are relocating, moving, immigrating and traveling. It always comes along with “Do I get that same feeling of belonging again”?
Many people may advocate that one’s home is a geographical location, four walls, a huge TV, an air conditioner, a false ceiling and the interiors which have become a status-quo factor now, all the techie gadgets, etc. A place where you get all the comfort, though material, inside four walls. You can live in this material for decades together.
But, there are some whoi advocate a ‘home’ ,within the soul characterized by family and memories, or somewhere that safety and love abound. Home may exist on several levels, such as cultural, societal, familial, and/or political.
          Material objects and the physical actions of making and using them are a fundamental part of how forced migrants, far from being passive victims of circumstance, seek to make the best of – and make a home in – their displacement. But, there is also something, an inner feeling of insecurity which keeps us killing, provided me have time to think. Lives have become so fast that we do not even think of taking a pause and think and ask ourselves where we are heading to, what do we want, what do we need?
          The ratio of people changing the state of living a life at home from moral to material is increasing exponentially as the materials are taking over morals, in ma ny cases. You gradually start adapting yourself to these modern lives, unknowingly or knowingly, the change fascinates you, and your actions now start aiming towards ‘achievement’ of these goals. This is inevitable! I can say that  ‘this life’ has become the ‘life’ of the our generation.
          Although, there are very few, who run  behind what they wanted their life to be without succumbing to the lucrative material around. Sad to say, out of the few, very rare are ‘happy’ and ‘proud’ that they are living the life they wanted, and they had dreamed iof far before and not,just before. Because there is a thin line between far before and just before, on which you pull the plug of life or you end up being pulled up by life!
          The  line, the thin line, is everything you should be aware of. Everyone, in his lifetime, goes ‘through’ this line, time passes and then you realize how you lived the ‘thin line’ and that decided how you will be living then after!
