-The coffee and saambhar that the Indian restaurants have can never be matched by any other cuisine or food item.So delicious and satisfying..
-Sitting on the 'easy chair' and watching a cricket match on TV- The feeling is just so nostalgic and divine!
-Meeting near and dear ones,especially the selfless paati/thaathas is a memorable experience.The genuine blessings that they endow when I do the Namaskaarams while parting - thats invaluable - brings in a sense of reassured confidence and goodness.
-Cute little cousins proclaiming that 'all they want is only you and not thatha/paati or even their amma/appa' -That brings in a smile coupled with a sense of grief as we part and they run behind the autos till the street end waving bye,crying all the way.
-Auto rickshaw guys,by default claim 50% more than the stipulated fare and end up decreasing it by 25% - still being the profitteer in the whole bargaining process.
-Temples seems to be so blissful,except for the Hundi's which seem to have hatched at every corner of the temple.The priests while giving the vibbhuthi have started pointed to the plate,cajoling us to offer money on the plates - which kind of sucks.
-Going around with amma tothe market,holding her tiny finger and watching her bargain 1 or 2 rupees per kilo on every vegetable being bought - brings in fond memories from the past and also a sense of guilt when realising how lavishly I spend money in dollars in the U.S on coke and 15$ dinners,while amma/appa still have not forgotten where they came from and live a contented but peaceful life.
More later..

Dude..
Been following your blogs pretty regularly. Love the thoughts and your perspectives. Keep the good work up. Like the way you tend to surface what would have otherwise been an insignificant thought lost in the depths of the mind. Keep the good work up.

Sorry.. posted the comment and FF went blank. Loaded the page to see if the comment was posted and the count was 0. Tried a couple of times more and then you see that. Also, you can see that I am shining new (& stupid) to comments - the comment title became my name! Would appreciate if you did the needful to remove the dup. comments.
