& are you going back ??

quite frankly, I'm tired of answering the question. For the record , here's how the question pops up - I'm generally having a conversation with some X . We talk to about general stuff .. blah .. blah .. & some where in between the question i hate to answer will be asked ( i.e am i going back ( to India ) ) . These days i dont even make an attempt to answer it ! I just grin ;) .. it keeps them guessing- is it the "Ya right ! .. go back ! " grin or is it " thats a stupid question! " grin .
This evening was the worst .. i had to dodge the question thrice ! First was my manager .. then my friends Mom & finally the Vietnamese girl at the salon !
Am I going back ? short answer - yes :) .. long answer - I dont want to go to gaga about India , it's culture & stuff like that .
It's where I am from. Any other place seems alien to me . Often I think about a situation where I reconstruct my entire life here ( or in any other place ) .. i mean family , home , friends , environment ...then would i still want to go back ?? Thats some food for thought . Actually,I dont have an answer to that. Home is the only place I feel to be myself ( if thats something u can understand ) . So thats why I will go back .. :)
