Destination Abroad!!

I remember one of those corporate get together @ MH, there was this man sitting with parrots claming to predict one's future. I sat in front of him for the fun of knowing what he has to tell for me and he said...... said I have opportunity to fly out of India shortly... Holy fun!! I told myself… If a gamble with cards and parrots would have to say my future, I wish to have stacked up the cards to my hearts desire. Fun turned out real in less than a year... Now I say Holy Shit :-) I wish to catch up with this man with his parrot for a hi-tea...

In less than 2 months of our marriage we were destinated to move to Australia. Well not a desired destination for Mr.Husband who has this US mania. But for me dreams were high and excitement sky rocketed. As such I had my plate filled with the excitement of married life and now this big plate looked like a quarter plate waiting for a gourmet meal to be served as my main course... WOW, Thats life I said myself…

Sydney, Australia: a life knitted by my husband n myself… we are the vagabonds of this nation, backpacking on holidays, quest for hi-tech gadget collection, crazy affair with high streets, big buildings, fascinating cars, fast life & disc are the feast for our life while shopping apparels from the worlds big brands, parties with stilettos n clutches, connoisseur food lovers on dinner dates - we are crazy for this cosmopolitan life we are indulged in… We Live, We Explore, We Indulge and We Enjoy…

So, do I Still believe “that’s life”??

Well, this fascinating is as much as a good nite’s “Hangover”… celebrating the 2nd anniversarry says reality has taken a sneak peak and in day-to-day life we feel that our parents are available only on a virtual mode, festivals and blessing shared thru a fiber optic cable, family pics where we don’t find a place anymore and family happenings is like a one hour News show. Successful in life, material and wealth, pride in 'vacation to India' where your my country is Videsh, we start realizing the eternal bonding getting vague.

Cosmopolitan life, Stilettos and parties would never equate with the warmth of parents, mom’s hug on a bad day, chai with pop discussing the crazy news on TV or one of the distressed fights with your bro/sis for a stupid reason…

Our Instinct here is only for a maximum period of 4 years. We know what our Indian passports mean to us, not to call ourselves proud Indians but to feel life at its best in our adobe. Destination abroad is so much fun only when your instinct is short - Move around, get yourselves tagged in different countries, learn different culture but be rooted to the Indian Soil…

And that’s definitely what we are!!
