It
was her dream... To visit places and taste flavors of various cultures...
When
her job took her to the United States of America, she was thrilled.
What
a different country it is, she wondered...
Clean
and developed country...
Left
hand driving and no autos...
She
smiled to herself at the comparison.
Suddenly
she realized that crossing seven seas is not a big deal anymore.
World
has shrunk into a micro village.
Commuting
between places has become easy.
She
found an Indian family.
She
felt homesick...
She
gazed up at the sky and said, “India... Ten days to kiss you!”
Dear Satya
ReplyDeleteI love your story from "the other side". Great conclusion. Home is where your heart is.
shalom,
Rochelle
Thanks Rochelle for your wonderful comment and amazing prompt :)
DeleteGreat story. It captures the excitement of going to a new place and the longing for home when you're there. As someone who has lived overseas for almost a decade, I can understand both. :)
ReplyDeleteNicely crafted.
ReplyDeleteI hope she finds her visit enjoyable before returning to her homeland.
ReplyDeleteShe should...
DeleteHopefully!!
Thanks :)
Yes, the world may be small, but when you feel lonely or disconnected from where your heart belongs, it can seem very big indeed. A loely offering.
ReplyDeleteThat's very much true!!!
DeleteThanks a lot!!! :)
There really is no place that can fill that one place in your heart. Traveling and meeting new people is fun but it is nice return to your roots

DeleteDear Locomente,
ReplyDeleteI know close to exactly how your protagonist feels. Whenever I leave Hawaii I start counting down the days until I smell her fragrance once again.
Great story.
