A threadfin stew, and the idea of home
Cynics would say I am rootless. I'd say I am rooted in many places. I've lived in Bengaluru for 26 years, Delhi for 17. Bengaluru is the place I consider home, I speak Kannada passably, and I am deeply attached to the people and the city. Yet, I can't say I truly belong. I never really took to Delhi and its culture, although I speak Hindi decently. Mumbai is always exciting and feels like home for about a week, after which I'd rather go home. My Marathi is good enough to fool the locals for a while, and I like hearing my mother's tales of her life there—it gives me some feeling of closeness.
