Gut wrenching - I get teary eyed just thinking about her not being my home anymore. Despite being a desi, I miss Krung Thep more than any other place. It was home. Love Mumbai and Bangalore too - but that's like loving your mom. Krung Thep was and is that woman I will always carry a flame for..forever. Just left my beautiful Krung Thep after 6 amazing years.

Amazing it might be, but very true. The young Indians abroad want to go back probably more than ever before. And it's not just the promise of a fast rising nation or the pani-puri by the roadside. It is the Dhonis, the Sania Mirzas, the Sunil Mittals, the Ankit Fadias and the Rahul Gandhis that inspire this generation. One of my very good friends in Singapore wants to go back to be an IAS officer. Another top-shot in Boston wants to go start a business in Bangalore. I'm myself not averse to the idea after surviving Mumbai last summer for 2 mths. Tantalizing stuff, if you look at it with some historical context. Reverse brain drain is GOOD! The lure of being a nation of opportunities is luring everyone - the young as well as the old. Be it Dhoni who's the inspiration, or Anil Ambani. And Adrianna, love your end note... "My inner desi was so proud". “Dhoni lives there also.”

I was planning on visiting my grandparents in Mussoorie this summer, but there's just not enough time. I'm leaving Colorado on July 30th and need to report to work in Bangkok on Aug 1st. Maybe in October. Maybe maybe maybe. :) Ahhh..I miss India right now too. I was planning on visiting my grandparents in Mussoorie this summer, but there’s just not enough time.

It's funny until you realise that the stereotypes are sadly all true. Goodness Gracious Me? It’s funny until you realise that the stereotypes are sadly all true.
