After 3 and a half years in Sydney and Australia, I finally decided to accept my Australian citizenship.
It felt right - India is my home and where my heart will always be but Australia is where I found myself.
Of course there are the obvious reasons: dual citizenship and travel access around the world (I won't need a visa in most countries).
Travelling and living in a new country is a profound experience if one can live through it.
It is lonely, daunting, almost mind-boggling but it is also liberating, exhilarating and transforming.
I am very happy that I have managed to survive through it.
Mumbai and now Sydney are two places I can call home.
Most importantly, I feel at home within myself, no matter where I am, or will be.
