Rabin's chapter 1

"You forget. You forget you don't really exist here, that this really isn't your home." -Page 8

I think this line is very important because it gives a basis for everything the book is related to. Nadira is referring to her old apartment in Bangladesh and how it never actually felt like her home. I think this is a great way of expressing how you just get used to your surroundings and forget about everything else. What she is saying is very true, even here in my permanent home. Sometimes I put something down on my desk to give to someone else, and then you get used to it being there, so you forget to give it to that person. In a way, the thing to give someone else isn't suppose to have a home in my house, but it forgot as well.
