being a NRI is difficult. i remember during my school years making the solemn promise to not even think of doing further studies in kerala. and where do i find myself after high school?-in the heart of kerala.....
3 years later.....
i've finally completed my bachelors and i'm back "home". looking back, i feel, college life was not so bad...in fact, it wasn't bad at all. true, staying in kerala meant staying in a godamn traditional hostel with limited facilities and freedom. but i did have fun. i remember the times i used to literally fool around with my friends, try juggling studies and various kinds of competitions, constantly trying to be in the good books of my teachers (not that i cared about my reputation, but had to somehow scrape through without my parents noticing me doing illegal stuff), getting along quit well with the warden and the other sisters (bless their souls) at certain times, getting in and out of a crush (now THAT was exciting)....
Each friend i made there was special. True, they could be stupid at times, but hey, even i 'm a disaster when it's full moon (i like thinking of myself as a were-wolf. dunno why, but it sounds cool). My best friend in college for example, was dead stubborn, obstinate, immovable, thought she was Ms. right, impulsive, brain-dead when it came to listening to other people's opinions but above all she was the most kindly, helpful and smartest soul when it came to maintaining our relationship and boosting my spirits.
sigh! have to say goodbye to those good old days though.....all good things should come to an end, i guess. Don't worry my dear tender heart, my preciousssssss, we'll move on.....coz there are still a lot many people out there waiting to be our friend...let's say goodbye to the past and embrace the futur....

Sir, the things keeps on happenning. But as I remember, I have lots of promises to keep and miles to go before I sleep.
My name is Maunish Chokshi and I live in India. Previously I was in Poland.
I have published a website www.indiglob.com It is purely india based. I am trying to building a communication bridge between resident indians and non resident indians. Currently, indians are too eager to migrate to foreign lands, and without knowning the pros. and cons. they apply for unknown countries and the agents and consultants lure them for big sum of money. This website will try to guide them.
As NRI, I would like you to share your experience in the form presented on the website.
I hope you will take out few minutes to serve india and indians.
If you feel its worth submitting form here, then plz. refer other NRIs to post there.
ok..no probs...but sometimes in life "mistakes" turn out to be the right thing
