All our young lifes we search for someone to love. Someone who makes us complete. We choose partners and change partners. We dance to a song of heartbreak and hope. All the while wondering if somewhere, somehow, there’s someone perfect who might be searching for us.

How Many Roads Have I Wondered? By Sushila Raman (via Skymaker69) This song appears in the closing credits of the movie “The Namesake”. Had an extremely difficult time locating it.

Lyrics of the song:

How many roads have I wondered? None, and each my own Behind me the bridges have crumbled No question of return

Autumn leaves like discarded dreams trampled underneath a tide of careless feet it’s the same song playing everywhere I go it’s like an army marching right through me.

Nowhere to go but the horizon where, then, will I call my home?

Summer spent, in the high grass or just fragments, ransacked memories dark river snakes, across this murky hall boatman sings his downstream melodies.

How many roads have I wondered? None, and each my own Behind me the bridges have crumbled where, then, will I call my home?’

Description from Youtube

This video is about the sense of not belonging foreigners often have from leaving their birth country. Even when they traveled slowly and managed to establish relationships where they live, they always stand out as being different. And when they return to their home country, their new experience has made them different again from the natives. The minute you start living in another country, you will never belong to any place truly again. This can be emotionally draining.

The video tries to illustrate this. I’d like you to see it, in reverse order, the start is the end- the start is the total loss of identity, loss of body, just a final mark on the ground, and then you go back in time retracing the last 24hr, the day, staying and the last night before last.

The marking with the chalk is to mark where the bones are, it is meant to foresee the death that will come and take account of our physical entities. The “landscape art” with twigs is about leaving a unique mark,after death, something humans have always done, by contrasts with the rest of the animal kingdom.

Hell, it’s all pretty depressing, but everyone will ask himself or herself all these questions one day or another, well was was my turn. And now I can get on with other things… the next video, I’ll try to cheer you up.

In Silicon Valley, Recruiting Clashes With Immigration Limits - NYTimes.com

I’m an immigrant here too and I associate with this article to quite an extent. The main protagonist, Sanjay, goes on an overkill when he mentions that he had American flags in his dorm room and Google office and that now, he has a Canadian flag in his house. I’m amused that a guy who pays $200,000 in taxes thinks that he can’t live in the US because this would mean that his wife can’t work…and his savings rate will decrease. Are you kidding me? When you can pay so much in taxes, I don’t understand why being the sole bread winner is such a big deal for you. When Google is sponsoring his Green card, I don’t know why he says “I’m not sure if I can go back to the US”. Huh.
