My parent were recently in India, which was amazing. Some of you know that I cam to India on more of a personal journey. To learn the language (need to get cracking on that!), get to know my family, and learn about the Indian in me. As difficult as I'm finding this to be,its much harder for my parents. They were born in India but left to come to the US when they were around my age-so they have lied in the US longer than they lived in India. So where is there home? They have changed dramatically in the 30 years since they left India, but India has also changed! They have a harder time relating to their relatives and vice versa. At least with my relatives they know I'm from a different country. With my parents its different, they are almost two different people-not that these two versions don't have similarities. My Mom still has little patience and is the best dressed and my Dad is still every one's favorite!
Seeing them was great, the only drawback it made me miss them more than I already do. But it was amazing to see them and I hope they come again!
