How to find the path of the keytool generated keystore (self generated)

I created a keystore with the name keys using terminal

keytool -genkey -alias demo -keyalg RSA –keysize 2048 -keystore keys

I want to load this keystore in my java code: 

ks = KeyStore.getInstance(KeyStore.getDefaultType());

java.io.FileInputStream fis = null;

try {
    fis = new java.io.FileInputStream("keys");
    ks.load(fis, password.toCharArray());
} finally {
    if (fis != null) {
        fis.close();
    }
}

I don't know the path to my keystore 'keys'. The only verified path I know is of the trusted keystore

/usr/lib/jvm/java-7-oracle/jre/lib/security/cacerts

which I don't think has my alias demo. How do I load my keysore in the code?

Thanks in advance

Found my all the self-generated keystores in my home folder or the directory in which I was working

/path to my working directory/keystore_name

/home/user name/keystore_name
