“Home is a place you grow up wanting to leave, and grow old wanting to get back to.”
~ John Ed Pearce
Home is special. As you grow up, you make many memories with your family members in your home. Memories that you remember with fond nostalgia when you become an adult and perhaps shift to a different city for job.

It is a matter of immense delight for them when they are granted week-long leaves to visit their homes during festivals like Holi, Diwali, and Eid.
