The rich aroma of masala fills the air carrying memories i never want to lose. Home looks like my family gathered together faces glowing in the soft light of a movie we’ve seen countless times. Yet each moment feels new as I taste yummy noodles shared between smiles stories and pauses that feel meaningful instead of empty. I feel the warmth stays with me long after. At home i am not just existing. I am understood I belong. The wall feel alive with memories and every corner seems to whisper love and reassurance.
