Home is where I open the door to see family. Where I make memories day by day. One day will never go by without a smile on everyone's face. Diwali the festival of lights, we light up bonfires in the backyard at night. When Holi comes the house is full of colors, pink, red, orange, especially blue. Home isn't one place. Home is where you are loved, home is India; my aunt and uncle’s house; Canada... Home is where my mom’s cooking makes everyone gather at the table to eat her famous chicken curry. The sweet and salty taste of the cashews and rice, the savory taste of chicken melting your mouth. Home is where my dad makes me do the hardest equations without hesitation. Telling me if it’s right or wrong. When you walk through the halls, you will always hear laughter through the walls. Home is where the family cuddles to watch a movie at night. Home is where I'm safe and happy. Home is where the heart is… This is home.
