Thats good to know Aruna...but you haven't told us why u wanna return?..What is that you like the most about India? What is that thing which is calling you there?  Woh kaunsi cheez hai jo aapko India wapas bula rahi hai?

Family?

Culture?

Bharat Maa ki bheeni bheeni khusboo?

Mungfalee wala? Chaat waala?  Dhobi wala?  Kaam waalees? Sabzee Mandi?

Or something else?

Well, as for me, I can say that I have seen most parts of India. And the thing that mostly appeals there is the Bheeni Bheeni Khusboo of our Motherland.  Especially when you are in midst of the long beautiful 'sarson' ke fields of Punjab. I have got some chances in life to experience that, and I would like to see and feel those again.  You have no idea how beautiful it feels, when the cool breeze passes through your open hair, with your open arms, and with your duppatta in the air ..right in the middle of the big wide yellow fields, you almost feel like a little child. Very beautiful feeling, very romantic too indeed...lol. (Exactly like how it was shown in the film 'Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayengey').

Another thing I like is the mountain-sides..the greenery...the streams and rivers...I think I have seen the most naturally beautiful places of India, as well as the dirty cities of our land.  Of course, nothing can be compared to the Chaatwala, or Sabzee waali.  They are some characters in themselves.  I love the train travel there too, and that sound of the announcer at the railway station...'Delhi se Mumbai ko rawana honey waali gaadi station ke platform number 7 par aane waali hai, yaatriyon se nivedan hai ke wey turant aapne samaan ke saath platform par pahunchey".

But, on the other hand, I can stay in Canada too if I have to.  I love this place too, I guess every place have good and bad points.  For me, returning back to India will be a matter of destiny than choice, if ever it comes to that point.
