I hope looking back at this post and the comments, will be enough to get me out of the slumps which are bound to happen. @Kiran - Ocourse I remember you! Will ping you when I reach there. I definitely need to get a local's viewpoint. @Bharath - I hope so too! @mausi - I am scared, it seems you are reading too much into my thoughts ;). Btw I am not sure if I am same inside, I mean I did not have the senses 10 years back to know 'what I am' so will depend on you to make that call, but it sure feels different. @Aysha - glad you like the thought behind the post. Althought, I am little biased against miracles and signs. Lets just agree that post was concordant with your thought and not take it as a sign for you. Please :).

It's this urge that I want to go back home - India (even though not my home city)... I feel no amount of socializing will fill in the vivid loneliness here. I am reminded by my friends about the pollution, the abrasiveness in certain cities, the safety concerns, the struggle in day to day chores...but somehow my eternally optimist heart tells me, I will get used to it, I will be able to experience my country above and beyond it... no matter how much logic and practicality I try to find or reason out, it all seems pointless before this strong 'feeling' that I have to just go back to India...It's just there.. I have also started believing a lot in signs and miracles from God :-), and am looking for those signs..Your post being one of them. You've followed your heart, and it's true, home is where the heart is. Relish every bit of every moment! :-) Thanks for sharing your journey…I have been going through similar turbulence of thoughts and decision making for the last few months….and every time my friends here in the US ask me for a real tangible reason as to why I want to go back to India…I fall short of words…in the sense I feel no words will be able to do justice to the feeling I have to return to India.

Reading your post makes me happily realize that indeed you have let 6 long years pass wtihout scratching but your superficial layer of intellectuality - inside you are our same old nikhil. Feels so reassuring. With reference to your thoughts on returning to india, tho i haven't lived out, i endorse your feelings that india is interesting and needs to be explored with an unbiased mind - believe me You will enjoy it more than your american exploits (but sadly your bicycle will not suffice here). I can only hope i am one of the 'family' you intentionally returned to. Hee hee.
