Greetings dear Hiveans!!! As the story time continues, hope all are busy framing stories for conclusion. If you wish to be a part of this interesting story, kindly click this link.
Sitting at one corner of the dinner table, I suddenly understood what home really meant. Each time I used to sit for eating with my parents and siblings, I was the one who kept nagging and finding faults in the food ... it was too spicy, less sugar, over salt tasteless etc. Never did I bother to answer their questions or chit chat with my family whenever something was asked. And never did I bother to keep back my plate in the wash basin after eating, despite being laid on table by my sibling neatly before eating.
For a moment, I was dumbstuck when I saw the dining hall of the college hostel with hilarious students. None of them bothered to maintain the discipline in the dining hall. It was too noisy besides the unruly character of the students. Nobody was bothered about the other.
For the first time I understood how much I missed my home, the laughter and chat shared with my parents and siblings over the dinner table. I was asked to take the plate and was supposed to eat what was laid on the table. Nothing was of my choice, I was forced to eat even if it was less sugar, more salt etc. We have to wash the plate and place it on rack. That was the rule
It was a moment I understood how I missed my dear ones. Also, I felt the taste of food and the aroma of my moms cooking was exceptional. Tears were uncontrollable, as nobody beside me to caress me. While eating, I felt like I was swalling a rock which was stuck in my throat. Now, little did I realise that's life.
It took sometime for me, to realise, life was not that easy, once you are out of your cozy home. And my longing to go back and hug my family was a dream for one year. When time came, we left for home for a month's vacation. And this time I made sure, I spent my valuable time in a valuable way with my family. The happiness I felt when sitting with them in the dinner table, can never be explained .
Here, I understood the meaning of learning experience.
Thanks for your valuable time dear friends. Photos are my own taken from my Samsung Galaxy A50 . With the expectation of a great week ahead, I bid you good night
