Very sensitive topic, and very difficult to answer

We are from india and have lived there for 38 years. I have moved with family to London on a long term assignment with an Indian Software company. I know that if i stay a few more years i can build a good career based out of London

At the moment we are just not comfortable taking a decision like this. Too much sentimental attachment. I am not able to redefine myself into anything but being "Indian" in "India". Just the thought of anything else is scary

It is very nice and precious to have roots 

Dear Murali,
I have thought about your answer for a while.

Somehow I can perceive your feelings a little bit. I (German Citizen) did live in the U.S. for 5 years and I did not feel home. I liked it back in the seventies, but in my true heart I felt German.

In Germany, however, I do not have a feeling of home at any place in particular. Where I lived I liked it. There is one exeption to this, however. Whenever I am close by my place of birth, an old house, no steril hospital, I like to drive by and it feels somehow cozy.

But I guess this is another "between the ears" occurence.
