The dilemma of returning back to home

I just created a blog for me. I called it - Kishor's blog.

Returning back to home? This is a very popular question among thousands of ex-repatriates all over the world. How long you live and work outside your home land? Some say that as long as life goes smoothly I will stay here.
I will go back when time comes! Others like myself who always thinking oh..I will work here for a 2-3 years and then go back. Why can't you go back now? Not yet! I am going home every year ans spend time with family at least once a year.
One of my relatives back in India asked me - what you want to do here? Here everybody is looking to go abroad, why you want to do the opposite? Do you want to be a retired fellow in your thirties?? No way, I said.
But my father always said - You may go abroad and make some money and come back. There is no precise meaning for the phrase make some money! I remember the day I left home for work to Bombay. That was a winter in 1995. I had moved from Kerala to Bombay only to find a reasonable job. I did found one within a week. But I did not like the life in Bombay. I went back home after working there for 8 months. I knew what it is like when you go back home after leaving the job.
"Oh, Have you come back?"
"When are you planning to go back to Bombay"?
No. I said - I am going abroad. The guy kept quiet.
Now this is 2007. My situation is totally different. I have a reasonable job in a western country. That too in a big bank.
Probably I will go back in 2010 when my son is ready to start his school. Who cares? But Life is life , its problems are not dependent on geographical location I guess.
Why Kerala attracts me like a magnet? Is it so beautiful or is it that I just love my home? I have no idea. You can't replace home! Most of my college friends are working outside Kerala, some of them abroad like me. I need to start a new life again, which is more difficult to continue life here. At the moment, let me see what happens and when time comes I will have to think and decide. Tomorrow, Monday back to to work again!
