‘Welcome’ signs are iconic. Some are simple, yet exude an idea or two about a place.
Whenever I see them on my long travels, exhaustion turns into relief. I feel safe and secure.
Not only do these ‘welcome’ signs provide me with the comfort of knowing where I am but also the confidence that I am where I want to be. After all, in life as it is on the road, being on the right track extremely matters.
And to reach a final destination without any delay or hassle? That is heavenly.
I have passed by this particular Kapangan ‘welcome’ sign a number of times before where, thankfully, there have been no border checks. No unnecessary controls.
It meant following one right direction. Welcome to the other side. A place called ‘home’.
