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!! π “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* π 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, Ordinary “Homesick” Girl. |

Thanks Amrit! She might have talked by now π
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!
I guess home is a place we always miss, no matter how old we are! Thanks for stopping by π
Awww cmon now stop feeling homesick… Call them up π and have long chats. I do that everytime whenever I miss chai and samose π
Aww! May be that ordinary girl already did that π
Hey Home sick girl don’t worry π you will be fine π
Thanks Ananya π
Nice read. Hope you are ok by now with so many comments and advices :-).
Hehe!! Yah I’m ok! π
But on the other note its not my journal π
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 π
Thank you soooo much Gauri π Even I also feel homesick at times π
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 π
Yes, home is different things! Thank you for stopping by π
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 π
firstly, I love the layout you have used for the post, good job Nibha! π
As for the post, it indeed make me homesick π
Thank you so much π Nice you felt connected π
π
I’m not a very homesick girl really, but this letter was sweet.

Home where we grew up with hilarity will remain in our mind for ever.Diary,good idea on everyday basis.
Indeed Sarala! Thank you for your appreciation π
Aren’t we all home sick some time or the other. Nicely captured emotion.
May I suggest that you darken the color of the text of the diary, grey is bit of a strain to read. Thanks.

Yes, homesickness dominates above every feeling when away from home π
Love this idea. Great post! π
Thanks Jennifer π
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!
Seriously it does! The more we are close to our family more homesick we are! Thanks for the visit Danny! π
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.
Thank you so much for your appreciating words! They mean a lot to me. Thanks again for the visit? π π
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?? π
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! π
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
Aww!! I totally agree with you!! I miss it too!
Thanks for the visit Shiva π
but after 5 years , the homesickness should wear off . Guess there’s no place like home. Hve never stayed in a hostel.
Exactly there is just no place like home!
