( A friend commented in a group discussion)
"Immigration is a painful process. Some of us who experience immigration respond to it with nostalgia and a desire to undo it. Nostalgic people wanna go back only if it becomes what they want it to be. Many respond to this pain by employing denial. There can be no normal/happy medium to it. Immigration is pathogenic; it’s a huge disconnect with the language that we are made of. The USA is the object of desire generated in the parent country and becomes meaningless when the desire is fulfilled. Ajeeeb o ghareeb beemari hai."
