As the last few days are being counted down before heading back to India, I have a lot of memories and lot of experiences as an employee, alien resident, tourist and father. But still, those are no good when compared to the joy and bonds that I have back, pulling me strongly to India. If someone asked me to answer without thinking, there would be no hesitation in choosing India as the place I would work and on further thinking, it still would have been my answer. My work style would be no different or less committed than what I did here, but the joy of being surrounded by reality and family is enbalming by itself. At this point, I also cherish the amount of guidance and feedback through which I can groom young minds having such a rich customer experience and variety in my stay of about 4.5 years. Sure, the money has been good, but can I choose that over what I am leaving behind? Well, I have done that long enough! Though that's not excuse to amount of exposure and experience that I have gained in the US, it's been one successful chapter in my life. I cherish the relationships and friends I have gained here, decisions I have taken (everyone seemed the best and right given the time and circumstances) and places I have visited.
But then, its still "ghar aaja pardesi tera Desh bulaye re" - here I come (July 29) :-)
