it does feel like home, dosn’t it?

As I step inside the white coated room, an air of familiarity breeds in, strangely drawing me to this far removed place. The moment I open the old, decrepit cupboard,a shining miniature red Ferrari toy grabbed my attention. I jump, ‘What is this toy doing here? It’s mine.’ Lying on bed, I rack my brain for hours and finally tube light moment struck.
Years back, I visited the place along with mom and dad for holiday and in a hurry to pack our luggage, I forgot the toy inside this wooden cupboard. It feels like home where we carved memories.

It’s interesting how a scent or item, such as the red toy car can trigger our memories of things we had forgotten. Nice post Vishal.
Thanks loads Michelle. Toys are an integral part of our lives and makes us smile. One should learn to treasure the moments in life:)
awww! That was such a sweet tale! yes.. sometimes, those small things bring back precious memories 🙂
Thanks ton, Pixie. I treasure small things in life which makes us smile:)
Oh my goodness! I have been there. Those are the BEST moments/memories. Loved it. So descriptive
Is it, Carol? Thanks loads for words of appreciation. Initially, I wasn’t sure and thought it turned out to be a lame post.
Isn’t the familiar and seemingly insignificant details that lend that effect only home can give? Nice story 🙂
Well observed. I feel memories makes it home and I feel automatically drawn to certain places, trusting my feeling that somehow tells me that I’ve been to this place:)
Now, that’s a very creative take on the home prompt, Vishal. Very well done! Your child-like innocence is so obvious through this piece of writing 🙂
Thanks a ton. I am a child, deep inside me and glad u could relate with the innocence I wanted to convey. Spot on, Beloo:)
It’s always interesting to go back to memories in a coincidental way! Such a sweet tale it was, Bro. Keep blogging! *hugs*

Sometimes, I love going back like reading my old Orkut scraps. But, guess it’s not always good to go back but make new memories:)
a pleasant surprise!
Thanks loads:)
That was a nice short post V. 🙂 Unknowingly we create such memories over time which revisit us later. And when it does, it brings back this feeling of nostalgia of a time well spent, of an era long forgotten. 🙂
Thank u so much. U right about nostalgia and relishing memories:)
