I felt strangely at home.
And then i though it was just natural. Sitting in the same room of the guest house that i had come to, while looking for a job, I felt it was home. I ended up living in the same place for 2 years.
I asked my self, where else would i feel at HOME... the list is as follows..
1. My parents house- lived forst 8 years o my life there
2. The Govt bunglow at beautiful township in himachal-lived there for next 7 years.
3. The house in delhi- lived there for 9 months.
4. The Room in guest house in the other colony, 20 Km away from earlier Home- Lived there for 2 years.
5. The Flat i shared with my friends- Lived there for almost 2 years.
6. The room I shared with my friends at chandigarh- Lived there for 1 year.
7. The room i shared with my friends at Udai pur- Lived there for Two years.
8. The Guest House i lived at in Bhuj- Lived there for 1 year.
9.The room at ahmedabad i talked about in in the begening- Lived there for two years.
10. the flat i live at now- Living ther since last 16 months.

After reading your blog,one thing is very clear, that your case is not an exception rather it has become a rule these days, that is to be rootlessness has become the destiny of many.
We are living in a globalised era and people actually travel to great lengths to be close to their work place.Gone are the days of a steady and lifetime employment and the safety of our home and hearth.
Incidentally, the term "Global Nomad" has been coined by Norma Mccaig, president of global Nomad International.According to her, for the nomads, the roots are the 'en-route'.Their dwelling, their belongingness, their livelihood are all realised in the journey.
"Aadmi musaafir hain,Aata hain jaata hain
Aate jaate rasten mein yaadein chor jaata hain."
Although We've been separated from our homes/roots, but nevertheless,the new world order has given us the mobile and the high speed internet to be in connection with our families and friends, which means one can be a nomad without having the nomadic mind and the nomadic thoughts.
Good blog.
Yes.. true.. and i hust wanted to add that i do not feel uprooted or anything.. rather i feel blessed.. I am able to feel at home at so many places.. so many cities are known to me just like the back of my hand.. and i like it.
And as someone said... Home is a nice place to visit.. not live in..!!
Hmm, yeah...nice point there, Viv and June. Man was born a nomad and its all coming full circle now!
Deep down I think each human being has the ability to relocate, to familiarize himself with new surroundings and accept them as his own.
