East or West Home is best!

If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be?

I have lived in two countries. I have lived in a women’s hostel run by Nuns, lived in 3 cities in the US and a major city in India.

I complained about my hostel life and the attitude of the nuns to my parents. Try answering to Mother Superior when you enter the gates after 6 pm. But looking back I did enjoy it! Sneaking out to see a movie or eating out when the hostel mess food was not good are the experiences that I cannot live again!

I grew in a very strict orthodox Hindu brahmin household! I was so angry with my Grandmother all the time. She was so strict in so many ways and I wanted to do so many things against her! Yet, looking back it was all the lessons for life I learnt!

Then me and my husband lived in an apartment near a beach in the same city as my parents after marriage. Horrible neighbor! I really hated it there. If it was today, me and my husband would have walked to the beach every day instead of complaining about neighbors!

I have lived in 3 US cities, one being a major hub and it was was cold and snowy, one was rainy and the current one hilly. I have lived in rental apartments, own townhouse, a one room bachelor apartment and now my own independent house! Each had his positive and negative feature.

But as I look back and reflect if we keep looking at the negative things they are just going to outshine the good positives of the place.

Anyhow we have settled in a house that is a comfort for my special boy! Is it forever? That I do not know! But I am not going to complain. Going to enjoy until we need to move out of here! I remember the time, we moved out of the townhouse to this current house in a different city. I told everyone we outgrew the house and the house kicked us out 😃! So until then going to live in my current place with all joy!

  2. Yes. We remember only positive experiences and that is why we feel like going back to our school or college days
