raji,
awesomely touching posts. thanks for the same. it sounds much in sync, atleast as far as i am concerned, more in tune with my mother's generation.
not sure your age, but i am 60 and look at world a little more optimistically. life is not all roses, but in between the flowers, one should, i think, savour the memories of previous flower, till the next one arrives.
i left in the 70s when to make a phone call to india, i had to wait for 4 - 6 hours, pay $4 a minute (a dollar was worth much much more, and one earned less less less). i was the only son, and was not unaware of the heaviness of feelings left behind.
but there is no explanation to why some want to leave, and others are 'sweet stays at home'. what i would like is to pick up at random some of your posts, and perhaps give a consoling feedback. life is not all that bad. one needs to develop interests and ensure that one retains the joie de vivre.
till the next, au revoir.
