What even is home? 

Is it just the place that you go to sleep in every night or where you have your meals? Or is it a person? This is a question that has haunted me time and time again and I think I might have an answer finally, at least one that satisfies me. 

A sudden plane crash. Seven teenaged boys stranded on an island. Desperate attempts at self-governance and the consequences that follow. William Golding’s famous novel ‘Lord of the Flies’ is a story of survival, immense power play and an insight into the functioning of society.

Despite being a classic, ‘Lord of the Flies’ has been criticised over the years, eventually leading to it being banned in several schools and public libraries.

What a strange arrangement we live in, we leave fragments of ourselves scattered in the places we visit, the people we meet and the memories we create, as if to live were to combust, leaving traces in the world that surrounds us. In our lives, with an end unknown to us until the last moment our breath continues, we, as humans, seek a home, a place we can call our own, a person who shelters and cherishes our soul and memories in which eternity lies. 

John Howard Pagne accurately identified a home to be ‘Home Sweet Home’. The four walls surrounding us are not just walls, they are witnesses to all mesmerizing memories we all once had. It is more than just a physical structure; It is a haven of relief, warmth, comfort and affection. Not only is it a symbol of wellness and tradition, but also our humble abode. It is secure in our mind even if it is not perfect. 

Amidst the literary thrills of the 1990s, a haunting trend emerged within the young generation with its supernatural and macabre tales. But a rare few, woven with gothic folklore and chilling scenes, sent shivers down the spines of both children and adults, haunting their nights.

What makes a house,home? It can mean different things to different people and perhaps I do not know their perspective but what I do know is that a home is so much more than a physical structure fabricated out of bricks, cement and mortar. It is more than just four walls in which its 

inhabitants reside.For me, it is the alchemy of intangible factors such as acceptance and familiarity that transforms it into a home. 

“The Catcher in the Rye” by J.D. Salinger has faced numerous bans and challenges in schools, primarily due to its explicit language and mature themes. It is no secret that Holden Caulfield, the novel’s teenage protagonist, had a knack for profanity. Critics gasp at every “goddamn” and “phony,” as if the novel comes with a parental advisory sticker cautioning readers about the perilous path of using words that are not fit for a 1950s sitcom. The horror lies in exposing delicate high school ears to the linguistic acrobatics of a disillusioned teenager!

Since time immemorial, humans have sung songs about how Mother Nature has bestowed upon us the highest intelligence ever known to humankind and the greatest responsibility of maintaining equality among the world’s residents. To say that we have fulfilled Mother Nature’s wishes would indeed be hilarious. Through centuries, we have come across divisions in our society, cracks in the immaculately built foundations we would like to present to society.To maintain the impeccable facade of our foundation, we have silenced those who decide to question us.

On a hazy winter afternoon not too long ago, I was recollecting memories with a woman who
had travelled to faraway lands but seemingly not far enough. Her experiences were too
similar yet seemed unique enough to suit her. Now, this might seem a disarray of emotions
like the flutter of the wings of a flock of birds, analogous in a contemporary sense. The lady
was one such bird trying to flee the burdens of her soul, yet the flutter of her wings couldn’t
be heard. So, she travelled all over the nooks of Europe, the secrets Asia held and the
