Home Sweet Home

I could not have asked for a much better beginning for the New Year. Being at home in Hyderabad after 3 long years made up for possibly everything I missed. Nothing can equal or no words can describe the feeling of happiness of going back to a place you have lived all your life, a place you can call your own and the only place you will be comfortable and content no matter if it is 10 miles away or 10,000 miles away.

Waking up in the morning to the wonderful smell of mom’s steaming filter coffee wafting through the house, the radio playing pleasant music (yes, still listen to the good old radio!!!), fighting over the newspaper, solving crossword puzzles from the newspaper, my brother troubling me to no end and driving me nuts with his non stop chatter, me getting wild at him but trying to stifle a smile at the same time knowing I can’t be mad at him for long.

The best part, Biryani from Paradise Hotel.... Yummy!!!!! :-)
