Back in India
I am now back in India. Getting used to Pune life. Busy in completing a lot of activities that were pending since long. Nothing much to write about. One interesting episode. After coming back from UK, I visited a cousin of mine. He told me of another mutual relative of ours who stays in US. Speaking about his stay in US, he told my cousin, "When I go to US, I miss India, and when I come back to India I long to go back to US"! This is a very common situation of many NRIs. My cousin asked me whether I felt the same. I said that when I love my stays abroad, and when I am back in India, I love the life over here. Baba commented that it's all about considering the glass half empty or half full. On a different occassion, but on the same subject, Poornima said that when we are abroad we long our friends and relatives to visit us, and when we are back in India, we wish we got more time to be alone.

I totally agree, though life amongst the middle classes in Indian cities is modernizing in ways that flatten the differences. That being said, social values still remain quite different. The ironies!
