The time is good and
there's not much to complain,
But am missing my roots...
Roots? There's confusion here:
Where do I belong, pray inform...
I speak gujju better
than I speak marathi, but
but I think I think in english;
(yet it suits me most
When I don't think at all...)
The time is good and
there's not much to complain, yet-
Am missing my roots
(Whatever my roots are...)
I also blog at Life Rules...
Like my blog?
Stumble It!

- A bundle of contradictions who needs enough sleep and food to keep in the chirpy mood that I usually am in. Have worked as a stringer, a copywriter and as a content writer in that order since I was in college. Currently immersed (come up for air occasionally) in the 10-month M.S program at Columbia University, Graduate School of Journalism 2012. Studying on a Fulbright grant. Look forward to a career in writing, teaching and perhaps, junk jewellery that i make...

Roots, is a much confused word these days. While going through your post made me wonder which place do I belong to? One whose language I speak or where I have been born and brought up. But surprisingly what I could figure out is that our roots are home and our family and most of all a place where we feel at home to let down all inhibitions. Strangely it has nothing to do with geography!
yup Radhika, wht u say sounds very true indeed... sometimes, in blank moments people like me and my sis (who have a tri- or bi-lingual and caste heritage) feel a little lost.. :) it's fun and it's immensely joyful to belong to varied customs at a time, but it is also tricky at times... but u summed it up perfectly, roots are where u belong, where u feel at home and where u find tht homely bliss (or bittersweet nostalgia) tht no other place can substitute..
