The BIG ten!

So, it has been ten years since we moved back to India! Time flies!!

Life has never been more content - all those little inconveniences notwithstanding. In fact someone was asking when we recently visited Hyd, about whether we have plans to immigrate and settle abroad. I said we were abroad and we moved back, and were particular about not having kids in the US, and they found that strange :)

As always, I hope fervently that the kids grow up to love India like we do!

There is only one motherland, there is just one India.

And even today, when I sing the national anthem, my eyes well up.

Every. Single. Time.

Jaya He!

Thirteen and going..

Today I finished 13 years @ my corporate Alma Mater - when I joined, I knew it was a long-term relationship so no surprises there!

I nearly forgot the day though. Pathetic! It also means, it's been ten years at the job in India - when we were moving back I was mighty nervous how it would be since I had never worked in India ever before. Boy! Did that turn out well. Of course I learnt a lot of lessons the hard way, and 9 out of the 10 years here have been in a people manager role so there were a lot of nice stories along the path too!

Here is to many more :)
