You know you have lived abroad for too long when... you have spent more time abroad than in your own home country. you have acquired a foreign accent. you have lost the fluency you once had in your two mother tongues (Nepali and Seke, referred to as a dialect in the Wikipedia entry) and have pretty much lost the ability to communicate in (Hindi) the third language you learned growing up. the language you express yourself best in is (English) the fourth language you learned growing up. you even think and dream in (English) the fourth language. you return home…
The fateful day I show up at the police station when I find out what I was supposedly to have said to be accused of insulting Islam and the subsequent incarceration.
All about that which happened, which I really didn't expect to happen, but had feared might happen!
