After 7 years when I got back home.. all friends I knew were moved somewhere else.. so many new ppl in the area ..I felt like a stranger in my own alleys and corners that once I spent my childhood playing. It was a huge shocker. After 25 years....if you could live back home, u r a saint else I am sure you will find urself back in the US. I always opposed the idea of my 'Ba' that one should go back home to spend rest of the life. I never cared. You die here or there, its same death but living here and there is lot of difference. If you have your whole family here I dont see a reason going back. At least for me.
