Homesick.

Staying away was a choice

Until "home" became my inner voice

It's been a journey to embrace

But I miss home and it's grace

Daal rice and a huge dollop of ghee

Mum dad kept me away from tea

Wonder when I'll be able to see

A plate full of homemade brownie

The food I eat doesn't please my tummy

For it lacks the love of my mummy

I'd eat the same daal rice I despise

As love is what it provides

I'm outgoing like my homie

Got it from my mummie

Until I curled up into my cacoon

For home feels as far as the moon

Most days I hate this city

For it lacks the warmth of whiskey

But an impulsive plan with Mannu

Is all it takes to bring back Tannu

Some go that extra mile

To make you smile

A friend who despises chicken

Took me to Shetty's kitchen

My heart smiles as I sack out at 7 am

This truely is a home away from home

It's a strange love hate relationship I share with this city. On most days I hate it, but it's days like this that make me fall in love with it. Not too much though...Just a little!
