Its been exactly a year I came back to India after my US jaunt 
. Putting pics that were taken when I landed – the first sunrise I saw on 9th and seeing my family after almost 18 months – some cool moments 
– you can see more pics here at my flickr archive – Nov 9, 2005
The sunrise from my house window on that day:
My Mom smiling all the way!
My Dad, Mom and Me – hugs all over the place 
My sister – making a documentary is she? 
India is on my “must visit” list. I have a good friend who was born in Madras, India. He and his mother moved to the USA when he was 14. He visits every other year. The pictures are amazing. I’ve been to his house a few times. His mother makes “traditional Indian food” a far cry from the food served at the majority of the Indian restaurants I’ve frequented.
