I happened to come by a short essay written by an Indian woman, an emigre to this country,in which she describes how she was culture-shocked during her first couple of years of stay in this cuontry and the adjustments she had to make in her new surroundings.She concludes that she has now finally come to feel completely at home in her adopted land.Her conclusion of " completely at home" has left me feeling a bit unsettled.It set me on a different train of thought.Are we really home,away from home? I am talking about first generation Assamese diaspora,popularly called Fresh Off the Boat immigrants ( FOB),who eventually do not remain fresh,though( ABCDs and FOBs are two different kettle of fish).
Gentle netters ( USA and UK)----are you really home? Is that simple to feel completely home,away from ancestral home? Please share your thoughts.

KJ Deka.
