I am battling with the "India vs. US" question lately. Many sleepless nights, churning out of thoughts, weighing pros and cons of each place, not being able to come to any conclusion. That has been my state of mind for the last few months..
This morning I woke up at 3, thought some more, and came back to sleep on our bed. It was dawn time by then, sun was beginning to rise, and birds had started chirping.. My husband, and my two sons were deep in sleep on the bed, my elder son all curled up next to my husband as he always is at this time in the morning. It was such a peaceful site, I felt so calm, so serene..
Truly speaking - where is home really? I saw my family there with me, and thought to myself - my home is wherever my family is.. No matter what I do for a job, whether I live in my own house or a rented apt., in the end all that matters is to be with my family. I want my husband around, and I want my kids around. I want to hear their laughter, and giggles.. I want to see my husband playing with our kids, I just want us to hang out together.. Then whichever place that is - will be my home. I realized that we will just be able to build a warm home any place we go, as long as we are together.
In the end - the core of the matter is so little and so basic, so easy and so true. I hope I find such moments of realization and tranquility now and then - may be then all the vexations, all the worries will have no place in my life.
