Warmup.

I am wondering what the title of the blog should be and am not able to find a suitable one. I do not know what I want to write in this blog but for sure know that I want to get back to writing in this space more consistently. Purely for my own satisfaction.

Friends: A very interesting word. A lot of people pass through my head when I think about this word. At times I feel good to have them all and also miss most of them. Its an interesting stage of life. I have friends doing everything, some are working, some are studying, some are getting back to work from studies. A few of them have married, a few are due this year and there are few who are still accompanying me in the single status. Its all goods so far. I somehow feel some of them could get really busy after marriage and not keep in touch . I hope I am wrong. Hopefully, a reunion of sorts will happen in December.

Family: If there is one thing I miss the most in US it should be my family. The funny part is amongst all the Indians who stay along with me, I call the least to India to speak to family. The reason is everytime I speak to them, I feel like going back. More over we have never been a family who expressed love, celebrated any fathers, mothers or any other type of days. I always thought to myself I am a cool guy and not the one who is too family oriented. Slowly, I realize that at the backdrop, I am a very family guy. And its damn cool to be one.

I have almost finished whatever I wanted to write. Still do not have a suitable title. Lets just call it a "Warmup" for now.

Cheers,
Sri

its interesting how we miss things more when we lose them or are away from them. we always fail to realize the value when we are together. i have seen many ppl coming back from US being more Indian than ever before!

@Madhu : It for sure has happened to me as well. India is fantastic in it's own way but to be honest I believe we can learn a lot from the US.
