Answer

• Use pushd /home instead of first cd /home and popd having all that navigation finished.
• Or issue bash to start new shell session (or whatever shell you are using), do your work and finally type exit to close it and return to the previous session.
• And the last and not least, in fact its the coolest solution here: use console manager! A nice, simple to use and powerful tool for all types of the Unix and GNU Linux users.
