Confused- Which place do I belong to?

I am back with a blog after a long time. I dont know if I will write again very soon, but this thing just hit me up...and i guess I should be writing (typing) about it.

Lol. The heading is legit for most of the people like me. Just see yourself in the mirror and ask a question "Which place do you belong to?" Damn it. I am sure you wont be able to explain that so easily. I still remember, the first day of college provided me with this question. And I answered it pretty well -"Delhi se hain boss!" But really? Am I even from Delhi? Because I was born in Chandigarh.
But this doesn't end here.
Let me give you all the thought process of this question with following points. Maybe you will find them relatable:

1) I am from Chandigarh because I was born there.

2) I am from Delhi because my relatives are in Delhi.

3) But we are Punjabis, so anyways it leads back to Chandigarh, which is also the capital of Punjab.

4)I have a domicile of Delhi and I completed my higher education in Delhi. So, I am from Delhi.

5)I think saying Delhi is cool, so I am from Delhi, but being from Punjab is a thing pride for Punjabi....so I am from Chandigarh.

6)My ancestors were living in Pakistan before partition, so I am not from either Delhi or Chandigarh...but I am a Pakistani with name Bharat? 😂😂😂😂😂😂

7)Chuck it. Idk.

So that is what the situation becomes in your mind once you are filled with such thoughts. I am not at all satisfied, and my mind blows everytime when somebody asks me this question. This even leads to sub-contexts...as in "Chandigarh or Panchkula or Mohali?" And than I answer it as Tricity.

It is a very weird thing to talk about. But anyhow someone has to come up with blunt unsatisfactory questions. And that is what I did.

Ya anybody there to help me out??
Lemme know. 🤔🥴
