During my recent long trip to India, I realized I finally have the answer to the question (for now) about where is 'Home' for me...
'Home' for many is by default the place of birth/country of birth/ and most often ONE place that remains rather constant. This does not apply to me.
At this point and phase of my life, I have two places I call 'Home.'
1. Bangalore, India
2. Wiesloch, Germany
Incidentally neither of these places happen to be associated to my birth. They just happen to be places that make me FEEL like home.
I find comfort, I feel safe, I feel a sense of belonging contributed by very many factors.
I was born in Delhi, India but I do not have any affinity to the city anymore.
I was reminded of the very relatable TED talk of Pico Iyer about this topic.
