Feeling of missing one's home and family.
خلفية ثقافية
The concept of 'Maher' (mother's home) is central to Marathi culture. For a married woman, 'घरची आठवण' almost always refers to her 'Maher', and there are countless folk songs (Ovi) dedicated to this feeling. People from the Konkan region are known for their deep attachment to their 'Wadi' (orchard) and 'Gaav' (village). During the Ganpati festival, the 'Gharachi Aathvan' becomes a collective movement as millions travel back to their villages. Pune is the 'Oxford of the East'. Thousands of students live in 'PGs' (Paying Guest accommodations). 'घरची आठवण' is the most common bond between students from different parts of the state. In the US and UK, Marathi Mandals (community groups) are formed specifically to combat 'घरची आठवण' by celebrating festivals and eating traditional food together.
The 'Coming' Verb
Always remember that in Marathi, feelings 'come' to you. Don't try to 'do' the feeling.
Food is Home
If you want to sound like a native, mention a specific dish (like Puran Poli or Pithla Bhakri) when talking about missing home.
