Home sweet home... India!
I have been waiting to get it out!
here it comes...
with the dollar sinking, gasoline prices rising, essential commodities expensive, job market at lowest lows... and VJ landing in a dream job in Mumbai! we are moving back home to India.
yay! nay!
yup it's an avalanche of mixed feelings rolling across my mind right now. i knew i would go back home to India for good sometime. I wanted to go back home to be close to my family, friends, places and people who moulded me to what I am today! after all it is my motherland and after all i am an Alien here in US of A! that's right all non citizens, non GC holders are called, Non-Resident Alien
I did not expect it would come so fast. there is so much to do and see and experience in USA. i wish i had a couple of more years. well i can always come back. but i will miss friends, get-togethers, potlucks, games, outdoor activities, campings and all the get-up n go, long drive trips. i will miss California, Sunnyvale, which has been my home away from home...
i am excited, thrilled, i can't wait to get back to hyderabad, feel the cultural shock there, been 6 yrs since i came to US and I heard a lot of tales about the IT development, Westernization, call center culture, young teens workin, coffe cafe days, dance floors and hi fi lifestyle.
6 years is a long time, long enough for change, i have different priorities now, likes and dislikes, expanded interests, diff. ranges of comfort zone with diff. things. i am a little apprehensive if my Live and Let Live lifestyle here will be let continue or if it's going to be live with society, fufill expectations, be for the, of the and by the certain set of some people. hmm... got to see.. adventure!
life is full of adventures for me! :)
