I just wanted to go home, to the language in which I was known, and loved. - Jhumpa Lahiri

Those who don't belong to any specific place can't, in fact, return anywhere. The concepts of exile and return imply a point of origin, a homeland. Without a homeland and without a true mother tongue, I wander the world, even at my desk. In the end I realise that it wasn't a true exile: far from it. I am exiled even from the definition of exile.

The unknown words remind me that there's a lot I don't know in this world.

Remember that you and I made this journey, that we went together to a place where there was nowhere left to go.
