Back to India

We are back to India after 2 years from a good US trip. Though, we intended to stay for a bit longer, but in view of the economic recession, we decided to move back and spend some time in India. One of the best experience in US was the chance to move around and see a lot of places in and around US. Some of the places we saw in US were Chicago, NY, Florida, San Jose and Hawaii.

In the past, I have not really been a keen traveller in India. It was only after coming to US that I wandered around in US and developed a hobby of traveling and seeing places. Having come back to India, it is a dream and also a very important aim of our life to see many places in India. Be it the "dil walon ki dilli", "himachal ke pahad aur wadiyan", andaman islands or the fabulous south India, we wish to see as much as we can.

US is an amazing country. What they have achieved in terms of infrastructure, civic awareness, freedom of speech, sense of humor and creating a land of opportunities is mind boggling. I had a great working experience as well in US and learnt a lot during my stay there. However, no country or society is perfect and US also has some serious issues at hand and I am sure they will work to solve them.

One of the best experience in US for both Divya and me was attending the Obama speech in Grant park in Chicago after his historic victory. I can never forget the entire election process and subsequently the privilege to listen to magical words of Obama.


I also intend to pursue my blog more seriously and may be even start a travelogue.

Lofty goals may be, but we really intend to travel in India. All the Best !!!!

Nitpicking, but
dil walon ki dilli - Delhi, a state
himachal ke pahad aur wadiyan - HP, A state
andaman islands - A&N, a union territory (?)
the fabulous south India - This is half of India, a bunch of 4-6 of the larger states in India!!

Stop referring to "South India" as a city the same way people refer to "Africa" like it is a country!

Okay, now that I am over it, the biggest (and probably only) advantage of staying in Delhi is that there are a lot of awesome places that you can make weekend or 4 day trips to. I am hoping you set out exploring the country. Have fun and enjoy!
