How Living Abroad Changed the Way I Think About Home

There is a word in Hindi- 'Ghar'. It doesn't just mean house. It means the place where you belong. I have been trying to figure out where my ghar is for several years. And I think I've finally stopped looking for an answer- and started living it instead. In this video, I'm talking about something I don't see discussed enough in the slow living space: what happens to your sense of home when you've built a life somewhere new. The guilt of thriving. The things you carry without deciding to. The way leaving everything behind teaches you, very quietly, what actually matters. This isn't a video about missing India or loving London. It's about what home really means, and how living intentionally across two worlds has shaped everything about how I choose to live now. If you've ever felt between two places, I think you'll recognise something in this one. Leave me a comment- where is home for you right now? ──────────────────────────────── Mindful Living with Niharika is a space for slow living, intentional choices, and the quiet things that make a life feel like yours.
