Away From Home

April 1, the most awaited day! The A-to-Z challenge takes off today, and I’m back with the diary of the ordinary girl as promised.
Well, this girl needs no introduction because she isΒ just an ordinary girl! Lets read the first diary entry together!

Dear Diary,  
I don’t know what happened today. Nothing feels good here. I am missing home for no specific reason. May be a reason is never needed to miss home. Specially for me!! πŸ™

“You are a hell of homesick person”, say all my friends.

Its been more than 5 years that I left home for studies but still my homesickness hasn’t Β worn off even a bit. I have made good friends that treat me as family and I indeed reciprocals that love and feelings but a void still exists. The void missing home. Missing the fights with little sister on non-sense things and we are laughing again the next moment. Missing the love of mom in her delicious food that the cooks specially Β I home. Missing dad’s hug which melts away all the problems in the world. Missing Grand ma’s cup of coffee, when I am studying late at night.

*A Tear escapes the corner of eye* πŸ™

I guess the more I will write the more I will miss my heaven, my home and more tears will mess up my face.

Someone rightly said, there is no place like home.

Around the world you may room,
But home is the only place,
Just a mention of it,
Will bring a smile on the face.

Ordinary “Homesick” Girl.

  1. I know what you mean..It’s not easy being away from home..I’m married now but I still miss being at ‘home’ with my parents!

  2. Awww cmon now stop feeling homesick… Call them up πŸ™‚ and have long chats. I do that everytime whenever I miss chai and samose πŸ™‚

  3. What a fantastic layout! I love the way you have written this post. And yes, I used to feel homesick, when I used to live in a hostel. Not anymore πŸ™‚

  4. Home means so many things…difficult to express at times. This not-so-ordinary girl did a good job sharing her feelings with her diary πŸ™‚

  5. They say home is where heart is! and first and biggest chunk of our heart is with our parents. I have not lived anywhere else away from my home for long, but I know that feeling, sort of hard , specially when one has fallen sick and needs mothers kiss or father’s hug!
    Good start of the challenge! All the best for the month πŸ™‚

  6. I loved your diary ! its looking beautiful, and you have written so well – I was only once away from my home, that was years ago. I still remember how I felt…. cried for almost a week missing my mom and my family. today when i look back i laugh ..

  7. Aww…. no worries, you’ll be fine…. πŸ™‚
    You made me homesick too πŸ˜€
    Loved the write up, Nibhz πŸ™‚

  8. What a beautiful idea for a post. And something I can relate to, having stayed in hostel for two years. Well done. Nibha πŸ™‚

  9. That’s so beautifully written πŸ™‚ Makes me wonder if this is what I will write in my diary next year when I leave home for job!!

    1. Thank you swathi πŸ™‚ Well, speaking from personal experience I can say that there would be one entry in the diary about missing home for sure πŸ™‚

    1. Aww Richa I’m sorry that my post reminded you of all that again but its all the part and parcel of life! πŸ™

  10. real feel from core of heart tell us real weight of of emotions.This is possible only when u r away
    from home or rather say sweet ‘HOME’………………way…….. away………..

  11. It can really get to us if we can’t snap out of being homesick… but shows the level of proximity you share with your family… great post!

  12. First of all congrats for the award! You deserve it. Such an emotion filled diary can be authored by a person really devoted to writing such sweet words.

    1. Thank you so much for your appreciating words! They mean a lot to me. Thanks again for the visit? πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚

  13. I love the concept of a diary Nibha…I’ve been away from my family for 9 years now but funnily enough, after the first 3 to 4 months, I haven’t felt homesick. I even refer to Sydney as home when I visit my parents and refer to their place as my parent’s home. People found that strange and I can’t explain it myself. In 9 years, I’ve only been back to India twice and don’t really yearn to visit as long as I am able to chat with my parents a couple of times a month. I think though, I do miss my sister who is in Canada…

    Is this diary entry based on your story?? πŸ™‚

    1. Thank you PB! Well, if I would have been in your place, I would have died of the distance! I am damn homesick!
      And as far as this diary is concerned, there are tit-bit facts about me combined with some fiction and observations! πŸ™‚

  14. You should have given a disclaimer to this … people staying away fro, home should not read..it left me misty eyed too…home is a person we miss the post when away from it
