Appo Ikkare Ippo Akkare
When i was at offshore, i always wanted to come to onsite. My intention behind coming to onsite is not money making. I just want to have the exposure of visiting a different country, get to know the people their culture etc. Whenever we get to see some good places (eg : Statue of Liberty, Golden gate bridge etc) in forwarded mails, i used to tell my friends, evlonaaldhaan ippadi PPTle paakaporome theriyale, eppo idhellaam nerle paapomnu....After coming here i really made use of every opportunity and tried visiting as many places I can.
Now i want to go back to india....but i feel am gonna miss
some of the luxuries out here...My friend used to tell...here we are
enjoying all the luxuries (Dish washer, vaccum cleaner, microwave,car etc etc), it is going to be tough for us when we goto india...and we used to think quite often how will the life be when we go to India........Strange isn't it??? When we are asked to come onsite, we didnt think of anything else, how we are going to survive in this new place, new people, new culture etc. We just happily left everything and came here.....Now when we have to goto our own land why this unnecessary fear, thoughts and confusion???? Once one of my friend kept the oil (coz of the cold climate, oil will be frozen and we have to heat it everytime) in the microwave and asked....aiyo, indha madhiri ellaathukkum microwave ellaam indiale use pannamudiyadhille....I replied saying, ange oil heat pannanumre avasiyame ille...The same thing applies to everything....But most of us are not able to accept
the fact that the life is not only beautiful in US, and we can live
the same beautiful life in india also.....
Hmm...Akkarai seemai azhaginile manam aada kandome....

Even if you are in the US/UK for 15 to 20 years, a citizen of that country, you will never get the feeling of security that you get in India. Inspite of a lot of burglaries, murder and the list is endless, you feel secure back home. For example, if you are without a job in the US, you lose your peace of mind. But in India, you take it in your stride and getting another job will not seem that difficult. We realize all that once we come outside India. While in India, we don't realize the value.
seriously...even blore feels alien to me...mylapore pona vara feeling..blorela nichayama illa...enga oor..enga kovil...everything is so personal there...inga antha mathiri ethuvum illa...
missing US..its not the country but more of the things we would miss. Of course it will never be the same when we get back there. If your family is in US then maybe you dont have a reason to go back. So the feeling of security moslty depends on whom u have around. US or india is the same when your loved ones are around you. The rest of the fittings will fall into place anywhere
