Ihave found my way in the united states after many transit stops. the unglimpsed phantom faridpur, and the all too real manhattan have merged as "desh." i am an american. i am an american writer, in the american mainstream, trying to extend it.

what is the meaning of the allusion transit stops ?

extended periods living in various countries
a long train rides to the united states
train stops to visit different countries
many vacations
