I have only lived in Delhi a couple of years two decades ago, but I feel similarly about it--love it so much, but also feel on guard, ready to defend myself. I'm here right now for an extended stay for the first time after all these years, and I'm growing to love it again.
Also, your implication that the protagonist (me) has to go home made me shudder. But then I thought, I *am* home.
Thank you for sharing your beautiful drawing and writing.
