Where's Home

Wahey people.
I always have been a bit of a nomad. Dad's job makes sure i dont have my feet firmly rooted to constant ground for more than a couple of years at a stretch. I started off being on permanent national tour when i was just 2 months, when we moved to Lucknow from Delhi, and its been an evergoing movement process ever since.

One of my recent moves was not one induced by dad, but one i had to make for my own career (yeah, life finally seems to be forcing the 'growing up' on me) I moved, around July 28-29, 2005, to this big college in this small town. NIT Warangal, the institute is called. Ever since, i have been undergoing a major continuous process of drastic change, physical, mental, emotional, intellectual, and whatever else way in which a change can be made. I wouldnt say i love the place, but on-campus life is pretty decent. Its just the town and the food thats crap. Anyway, out there, there's a norm which makes you a part of the family of the state you come from. So, i am a part of Bengal. Which is quite fine, because as some people have mentioned, a large chunk of my heart and soul lies in the city of joy. I have spent 9 years over two stincts in the city, which makes it the closest place to home that i do have. So then, nowadays, i come back home only for a week or two, or a month at most before i return to beyond the edge of beyond : Warangal. So then, when i come back, i expect to spend a lot of time with my old school pals, or my new college pals, or my old building pals. But this time, when i came back, i found out, that my daddy dearest had bought up a lovely little new apartment which we were supposed to move into.
Now then, we are preparing to move into our 'new place'. So, we are moving out from this place i am supposed to call home, into this new place i will soon be supposed to call home. But really, where is home ? When i am down there in uni, i am supposed to call it home. You cant just ask me to call everywhere home.. home is supposed to be a place coincident with your heart right? I am getting a bit confused nowadays. Is this place home? is the new place home? is the room in uni home? or is my ancestral home in delhi home? It seems these days, everwhere's home.. as the czech expression goes : "Všude dobře, doma nejlíp."
Everywhere's home, and home's everywhere. It is a good thing, it is a bad thing, it is life.. so got to do just what i always do aye? get used to it, get on with it.

ok maybe im sounding a bit depressed in this blog or sommat... i aint actually, it just came out that way.
Comment away ppl.

Your predicament is akin to the nomad, true. Though, I'd say that home is where you get 'Mummy's food- three times a day...I ususally go-
" Mummy- Mummy! quick, fill my Tummy! ...With your food so Yummy!"
