The mind wanders and my hands try to keep up....

Its been a while since I wrote but here goes.....

I am not sure what it is about Hindi and Tamil movies that I feel so much at home with. I think I really miss the feelong of being at home. The US just does not feel like home. The smells, the chatter, the hustle-bustle - all of which go towards making me feel confortable. Above all, I guess I love the cultural colour and variegated beauty too much to try and live without it for too long. It is sad that my career and monetary objectives drag me this far from home. I think all of this aggravated since my wife is not with me as well. The romanticism in the hindi and tamil songs makes me long for her. The more I stay I here, the more it makes me appreciate India.

Yes - my country is poor, yes - it is polluted, yes - it is overpopulated and crowded, yes - it has a corrupt government....... but it is MY country and it is home !! I will always love it.
