Felt like home again

Living an international student's life in a city where they speak english, I thought would be easy,
but not really. After my term in France, I learnt to deal with different cultures , meet various people and interact with them, talk to them and understand their life styles, that I assumed United States would be a pice of cake, as English would be an easy medium to communicate and understand people, compared to French.

My American class mates became busy with their part time jobs,girl friends, families, old friends, and various other things, while I assumed, they would always be there to hang out.
But, change is the spice of life.

Meeting new people, hanging out with them , walking, shopping , gives life a new leash,
and I found mine today.

An Indian friend circle, finally in USA :)
No matter how much I love my American friends, its the Indians who made me feel home. I did not know mr.deep who came from the same city as mine, but we clicked! We clicked as we knew each other forever!The river front talks,  bought an aura of Ahmedabad with them. Delhi's metro and Bangalore's traffic, Shimla's mountains and Assam's tea! The topics were varied over a large Carraban platter, just like the terrains of India!
I LOVE INDIA!!!

Its not in their culture

"Would you like to try some dandee noodles?"
"try some of my dinner!"

DO NOT expect to hear these words from your friends/room mates when you are studying abroad,
cuz its not not in their culture at all.
We, Indians are brought up in a different manner.Learning to share & care was a part of my convent school  academic training.I would be spanked hard by my sister (read nun) at school, if I dared, NOT to share my tiffin.SO much so that, we used to eat up all of Ishita's tiffin in college at times and her mom would get all our good wishes :D
Its irritating to hear a NO, everytime you offer your food/dinner to your friends,
like an insult or a rude remark, that you do not like my food!
But, like I said, the virtue of kindness must never be lost,
cuz deep down in my soul,
I am still a True Indian!
