Yes I am back to my old, bold and golden country. Attitudes and dreams are not the same as they were 2 decades back. Everywhere I can see colors, vigor to achieve the impossible, and most valuble resource of young minds, that the world cannot ignore. Now I am realizing what all I missed in these 4 years; right from speaking tree ( article on spiritualism) in Times of India to green dot ( for vegetarian) for cakes. I am not being patriotic, but it is a different feeling to find yourself amongst your own language, people, food, and bilboards advertising Indian products. No more to complaint about the infrastructure. It happens only in India that the first phase of Metro in Delhi was completed in record breaking time and has world class technology. The metro tunnel was made below Chandni Chowk and narrow streets of Old Delhi and residents didn't come to know what was going on under their feet. Metro is coming to Bangalore, Hyderabad, Mumbai and other cities. The largest Slum of Asia, Dharavi in Mumbai is being rebuild with proper amenities like 24 hour water & electricity and drainage system. The golden quadilateral express way will connect the 4 metro cities of New Delhi, Calcutta, Chennai and Mumbai.
Good things come with a good price tag. I went to an apartment community constructed by famous builders in Bangalore. I was thrilled to see the security, swimming pools, indoor games room, tennis court, running track, health club, 24 hour grocery store, and community room. The owner of the apartment can enter inside the building by scanning the card key from the basement parking. Unlike barren roads and community in US, it feels good to see here, children playing in the evening.
I can proudly say, "India is a land of opportunities."
