Thank you for this gorgeous follow up essay on home after the previous poignant one💛 The two, together, form an anthem on what home means✨ Will keep coming back to these words whenever I’m searching for home :)

Also, feeling very lucky to have witnessed you write and share this during our workshop 😌

I want this home! I want to at least be able to write about it the way you do Natasha.

Natasha the belonging in your essays is absent in many a home. Thank you for helping all of us find home.

A home as warm, welcoming and loving as you ❤️. A home that reflects you so much, it makes me, the reader, also feel rooted.

Beautiful! I can't explain why but this line really got me: “Tumhare ghar mein deewar to hai nahi, calendar kahan tangoge?”

It is funny and quaint - hanging wall calendars were a definitive part of our childhood that has now vanished. But a house with only windows instead of deewars promises so much light and so many possibilities.

I think little bits of real details in stories and essays ground us somehow. There is a familiar affection and humour in the line. And it evokes memories in all of us.

Thanks!
