India Trip and Vacations!!

Its been 3 yrs( Wow seems long thats what i have been told).. since I have started working.. Since I am in the US of A.. i have to save up my golden 10 days of vacation to come home..(India) I have to make sure i dont succumb to temptations of bunking work during those working days .. (which is humanly possible....but not by me...) I always feel I need a break.. and that the long weekends are not good enough... so here I am i India for the third time on vacation.. following the same pattern...

 But this vacation has been something different.... for some reason, i felt the days were goin slow.. I was feeling a distance with people as well as the place... But good things... ran into folks whom I may have not been in contact for more than 8 yrs .. felt so awesome to know they still remember you and do have an idea as to what you have been upto...
Kerala trips... eating out.. meeting people whom you have some good memories with and trying to relive them...is all the fun part of the trip...Best thing is.. Paani Puri Nothin can beat that...the pleasure of people making the hot and spicy water into the puris and the pleasure u get once the puri is in the mouth is def worth capturing!!! :D
Shopping.. How can i forget that part of vacations.... making sure I visit all the regular places . Fab India.. Pune Central Shoppers Stop and also some new store worth exploring...Celebrating my parents Bday.. shop for them its all the fun part.. Gals cant get enough of shoppin.... :D Shopping pleasure..!!!!
I always have a reason for shoppin.. Frnds wedding,.. Indian functions in the US... with the feeling that u shld be able to wear something new everytime......People in the US love to see Indian fabric tops and kurtis... with the fact that my boss will also complement me for the clothes...:D
Thats when you feel India and its rich culture......for the rest of the time.. i crib about it!! :D Will write about it sometime later since it is thoroughly controversial!!! :)
There is also a new dimension to the trip when u volunteer to bring and send stuff for frnds and families to and from US.. You get to meet families of frnds.. and there is a pleasure there because you feel like a messenger carrying good wishes and memories!! :) That feeling is really sweeet.........
 Thats how India trip and Vacation is all about.. Some day i want to write about a different vacation in a diff place!!!! :) Hoping that will come soon followed by a much more colorful blog!!! :)
