We are back from our world-wind vacation. We usually go to India every two years to meet our family members and keep tie alive for our kido who is born here, and does not understand he is loved by ton of family members. As he is growing old, he has his own reservations about going to India, he did not want to miss his friends & his sleepovers this vacation, but ofcourse he listens to his dad & agreed to come this time. We all had blast. I love meeting my in-laws & their family. Since after marriage I stayed with my in-laws for a year without hubby before coming to US. I am very close to every one, and enjoy their company a lot. I see huge difference in India from our last visit. India is Emerging market and booming in economics. you see malls,residential towers, cars every where. most of our family members are doing very well, every one has few cars & nice big houses. I had asked every one to boil the water even if it's filtered water & we avoided eating salads & fruits with skin, this simple precautions made our trip more memorable. all of us stayed fit which made trip more fun, kido is already planning 1 week biking/hiking trip with his cousins to ladakh in his summer vacation, Mom is supposed to make sure his summer is open for this vacation. I am glad kido came & saw the abundance of love which he is missing by being here. Now taking him again will be easy for us. Spring break is short but our objective gets achieved, weather is also pleasant at that time. Though now we have to get back to our normal life again. So I better go and start my day.
