If you were brought up in Madras and can't relate to it then sorry to say but you are married to the so called western world!
I was brought up in Delhi and have lived more than 15 yrs in US, still I can totally relate with Delhi.. I don't miss a chance to contribute to my school, other organizations I was involved in... Whenever I even see photos of Delhi I feel nostalgic! I can still drive on the streets of Delhi!
Reason: I have great memories tied to Delhi! I still call it a home!
If your kids say they can't relate to Madras it is obvious! But just after 10 years if you say you can't relate your identity with Madras, probably you never felt at home there!
