Why am I homesick??

Me and homesick?? definitely new to me... Think this is the first time I am feeling so homesick.. You may ask why after so many days in US? why first time?? The reason maybe coz the first time I came to US, I may not have felt so homesick at all..why now? Is it coz I went to blore and came back?? Definitely yes..but why do I feel this sickness more now than the first time??

Is it coz I left my long hair back in the saloon in Blore?? nah.. not enough reason.. :)

Maybe the first time I came out of home, I was looking forward to a new adventure, a new experience, a new outlook and was hopeful of achieving something that I wanted..But now, I think I have been here, seen everything here.. and know the pros and cons of the place.. and begun to value things in India more than before.. Could be the interaction with friends, small talks with family, lunch and dinner at home, mom waking me up in the morning, sharing thoughts and playing games with my sis.. pulling my dad's leg.. even earlier it was there.. but now I see how much I have been missing it..

Maybe being far out here, I feel I am missing out on guiding my sis and helping out my mom.. Never have I felt this much responsibility before.. Being of monetary support from US wont suffice the actual social requirement of a brother and a son..

So, now I realize the reason.. the question I should have asked an year ago, when I came here, I am asking myself now.. Is it really worth coming all the way up here to do my MS?? But again, how many days will this responsibility thing be there.. Just like the many other things, even these are 'tentative' and if you are looking for newer responsibilities, there are plenty and never ending in the social circles.. So, I guess we need to draw a line i mean a circle and restrict our view to that circle..have to manage everything in a balanced way without compromising on ur quests and ambitions.. Ok great.. I think i found the solution..

I have to get rid of this home sickness, get back to assignments, finish up in time.. so that I get to watch the loads of movies that I have queued up for over a month.. I have bought a dvd player too and would not want to waste the investment..
