I like the smell of freshly boiled pasta & rice.
What do you wish to have when you enter home after a long & tiring day? It’d be to have my home filled with freshly boiled pasta or rice fragrance.
“Make yourself at home” is something we often say to our guests & friends but what about us? How do we make ourselves feel at home? What are those small-small things that make us feel at home? Small gestures, words of comfort, one’s intention, their attention towards you & positivity. These are what we look for, don't we? Cause, I do.
Whenever I would visit my grandparent's place as a kid during the summer vacations, I remember their home and kitchen smell a specific way. It wasn’t a foul smell but rather theirs. It was an exceptional fragrance that I could only find there. It’s been years since that home has been turned into an office space with my grandparents living with my uncle. And the exceptional fragrance I talked about is long gone too. It feels like an office more than my summer vacation hideout from my childhood.
“I often wonder how my home would be like.”
But I wish it to be my safe space which I would love to return to every day at the end of the day. Be it with or without my people in it, but definitely filled with comfort and my memories.
