There's a certain 'click' in your heart when you reach home after a holiday. As much as you would like to go back and relive your holiday, home is as dear as it was before you left.
But things change, sometimes drastically.
Firstly, it's become hotter than before.
Secondly, the city is geared up for a war, what with mock fire drills and disaster management plans skewed all over the place.
Thirdly, you see long queues outside empty colleges- for admission. That's something which is repeated year after year. You can't mail them an application- no staff to handle such things. Everything has to be done personally. No wonder you see few foreign students here, inspite of having a good and relatively cheap education here.
Difference
What makes one country different from another?
The people, of course, currency, climate, culture, languages..... The list goes on.
Perhaps it is ths difference that causes two or more countries to go to war. Peace-lovers say that war causes disaster, destroys families, kills innocent civilians, but there are times when war is the only solution. I don't know what these circumstances are- but I do know that there is a fine line demarcating patience and intolerance.
Be careful which side of the line you are on.
