I am sure you must be having a great time now :)<BR/>And yes for me the extreme longing to go back home has reduced after I had my daughter. Maybe because I am too busy doing stuff and thinking about her. Also because i have my parents visiting more often now.<BR/>But I used to have that feeling in the initial years. But over the years it has dawned on me that even when I go back things are not the same, it is more of my imagination and the reality does not really match with it<BR/><BR/><BR/>Delo<BR/>I am so sorry that I didn't respond to your earlier comment. I don't check comments on older posts :) It was indeed great that you liked the paayesh.<BR/><BR/>About your son, I know how you must worry, my Mom worries till now and I am much older than your son:)Maybe you can chat with him everday, that will make you feel better.Bong Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15407918137263251235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35578975.post-50538156632447910972007-12-07T22:19:00.000-05:002007-12-07T22:19:00.000-05:00Dear Anonymous,Reading yr post makes me long to se...Dear Anonymous,<BR/>Reading yr post makes me long to see my 17 yr old son who has left ths yr for (TUFTS)Medford,Boston for his under-grad.Wonder hw he's coping..all for the first time in his life staying in a hostel,that too so far far away.All he tells me is 'i'm fine,u take care of yourself'.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35578975.post-90761644238516255262007-12-07T22:11:00.000-05:002007-12-07T22:11:00.000-05:00Am new to this post,but feel hv bn here much longe...Am new to this post,but feel hv bn here much longer.Came across it when my Khejurer Payesh went wrong.Love reading the comments and today i'm indeed very,very happy 'coz u'v responded.Feel u mst be a grt human being.Don't know y?Am from Gurgaon(Haryana).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35578975.post-24592285362581326042007-12-07T15:00:00.000-05:002007-12-07T15:00:00.000-05:00Sandeepa, I get this gut wrenching tears (is that ...Sandeepa, I get this gut wrenching tears (is that possible ?) when I remember my childhood days in India and an extreme longing to go back.
