I went to London, Paris and also Rome!
But trust me there wasn’t anything like Home!
To imagine a life away from home itself is scary enough while to live away in actual is nothing but a challenge. Every person staying away from home will face the attack of being home sick. Here are some ways one can try and reduce its effect on his or her emotional balance:
- Reading Books
Books most of the times can be a person’s best friends. True, just like Katrina Kaif in a movie says, “No Complains, No Demands.” Reading books can help a person in keeping himself engaged and also travel to the magical world of fiction.
