Homecoming

 This is a series of pages on my experience and views on returning to India from the United States. To each his own, but this is strictly personal perspective in a generalized manner!


As with any decision, it boils down to three things - Priorities, Priorities and Priorities! Frivolous redundancy apart, there is a deliberate attempt to emphasize human choices. End of the day, it the Joy that satisfies human soul.


On a completely extreme perspective, there is no such thing as homecoming. The world is segregated into regions and countries due to our limited mind, and things beyond our control (like governance). Zoom out to 30000 feet and you won't find any boundaries. Watch from space, you'll notice that the earth is a giant ball of water overlaid with white clouds! Well, you can distance yourself a bit more to see we are but a tiny speck. The bottom line is home is where you are content, where joy is the way of life! It cannot be determined with physical boundaries.

 

Backtracking to the original point, man seeks solace and comfort everyday and as he grows wise where he looks for these often changes. That's why you find yourself chasing new hobbies as time passes by. Homecoming is part of that journey to find rest. It is to be surrounded by people that make you feel home. When all the passing fads dissolve, what remains is the people that you call your own.


The point I'm trying to drive home is that it is a personal choice! There's no universal answer for contentment. It's a state of being! Read on with a grain of salt and reflect on the choices that augment your joy!
