The author embarks on a journey of deliberate homelessness, questioning the evolving meaning of "home" in a world where rich and poor alike are constantly migrating. He observes a global uprooting, from those seeking work to wealthy individuals pursuing a "happier homelessness" by relocating to new countries. He posits that a true home is singular, and the "second-best home is the absence of home." Despite his chosen exile, he fears India's "gravitational force" will pull him back, reflecting on the powerful, often unseen, forces that tether people to their origins amidst this widespread search for belonging.
