Vacation in India
People come and go for vacations from US to India. I have started to wonder what they really do on vacations, especially people whose native place is far into some remote city which has no idea about the latest entertainment & technologies. (Well, my place is not really too remote, but it is...kind of....boring!)
Just one day (less than one day actually) into my "vacation" and I already did not know what I was going to do for the rest of my vacation. Thank God, next week I have plans for some trips near Bangalore, and also will be meeting a lot of guys there, so hopefully that would just zoom past me.
Maybe I need to relocate my parents to either some city or some place where it would be more serene and calm for more relaxation, and be not in a place which is neither serene nor hyperactive.
Comeon, I am not complaining; it was just a thought. I still love my Sivakasi!

I beg to differ with you on this...
There's this serene calm that transcends any techno pleasures as soon as i get to my village. (Believe me, it IS very remote. The nearest bus stop is 2 kilometers away.). The moment I step into the fields, the smell of the wet soil, fresh bath in the pond, the trip to the temple, the sumptuos breakfast, the trip to the town to buy stuff and to the bank, the soccer match in the evening in the field, grandma praying at dusk, getting the cows into the cowshed, dinner and sleeping, listening not to the drone of an air-conditioner, but to the song of the crickets...
Nothing can beat that I guess...
No delivery schedules, no internet, no sophisticated TV programs, no mobile phones..just a plain old telephone, and a cable TV that shows only malayalam channels and a few other news channels!!
As Bryan Adams sang, "Those were the BEST days of my life!!"
That was part of my view too. I had said that we either have to be in a completely isolate place or in a well connected place and not in a place that seems to be isolate, but not really and seems to be busy, not certainly not. Maybe I was not clear in my writing. I apologize. In my haste, I failed to make myself clear.
