RTI itch
Return to India has been with us since last three to four years. Finally we did it. DH (dear hubby) and I have accepted jobs in Hyderabad, India, moved our stuff and bought one way tickets to Hyderabad. We are here now in Hyderabad, India. It is still not hitting me. Of course I landed yesterday. For me the decision was easy, I just had to say yes to an email to land where I am now. For DH it was a major decision, so he had to talk to tons of people to get different points of view. Vin (my oldest) was very sad to leave his friends back in Redmond and his life that he started in Washington and move to a different continent. Chotu, apart from repeating what Vin said he had no real issues. He is a real Bindas (Take it easy kind). My sissy was sad to see me go but my brother was happy; he is planning to return back in two years. My parents are excited. My mom is excited and is ready to give me advise and take control. My MIL was against our move, but she realized that it did not affect our decision. She thinks we will not be able to adjust here. Climate wise this is the best season to move. For now we have personnel taking care of us (stay, transportation, diet). Every five minutes you will hear “Saar, Madam” to boost your egos. Whatever is ahead of us, I don’t care, all I know is I am having a ball alreadyJ. Chotus quest about Burkhas (veil) is coming up next.

Fresh off the boat, eh??? :-P. I'm happy to see other people having taken the same boat. I RTI-ed in Jan'07. :)
Souj,
I know, it is so obnoxious that even our undies get ironed. Although struggling to get admissions for kids to get into elite schools :(
TP,
Yeah, I am still using, Thank you, execuse me, sorry etc., I noticed almost 90% dont use this vocab often. I am waiting to gel in ;)
90% is a very conservative estimate. You should hear the young guns talk. Their english is almost alien.
One thing i can assure you, you'd feel very at home with the 'hou's (or how - depending on how you spell it) and 'nakko's in no time at all. ;-)
Welcome back!
@ TP, I did get get a chance to hear lot of "Dudes" and "Kewl". I amazed at the young energy around.
@Vivek, Thank you :)
