Answer this question?

"Which place you belong to?"

I am sure one is confronted to this question atleast once a week. Now, in this present scenario where one is moving so much, what is the "correct" answer to the above question?

Whats the answer to this - the place where one was born and brought up, or place where one did his/her schooling from, or place where one's parental grandparents stay, or city of the current address, or the base location of the job, or the place where one "basically" belongs to, which can be easily concluded (with certain degree of confidence) from one's surname!

And more importantly why are people so interested in knowing that in the first place?! How does it matter to which place I "belong" to. Well, if one is interested in knowing my current residential address, so that one can hope to get a free stay when next time one visits the city, then ask the right question :D

I have never been able to understand this which-place-you-belong-to stuff...
