Its this odd feeling every time I visit India: I don’t belong here, yet some of me wants or feels like it does.
But then here I am in America and feeling seems to be very same …I don’t belong here, yet most of my [...]
If I am the son, then the soil is town of Coimbatore, India. Technically, I am not an original ’son of coimbatore soil’ since I was born in Chennai, and moved to Coimbatore when I was about 4 years old. Few people remember exactly what happened before they were 4 and I am certainly not [...]
