And feel free to use that line...just put a star on top which gives appropriate credit to the person who came up with it ;) @Reema - Thanks! @Amit - I miss the weather very much! I thought New york used to get hot, but here in Delhi is a whole new level of hot. Newyork could never get that hot (even with me living there ;) ) @Mampi - Welcome to Amreekandesi! I do plan to do a little series on my experiences...just need to start working on organising my thoughts/experiences into coherent units. @Deeps - Thanks, and welcome to Amreekandesi! Hope to see you here more often :) @Philip - :) @MS - Thanks for the comment. Sounds like you have had exciting experiences in India in the past year. Would you like to do a guest post for amreekandesi, to share your experiences with the other readers? @Dev - Thanks. But i am not doing much from my side. All these things are just happening to me! I used to cardio myself to exhaustion with not much results, and here i have been losing weight with hardly any exercise :) India is great, for health at least! ;) @Indyeah – Thanks!

I just about got the hang of it. @Smitha - hehe....the suspense was good while it lasted. Thanks QI! @Mahendra - Thanks! Incredible India indeed. Never fails to come up with new surprises. @Kavi - Thanks! And lets not talk about the next mango season...the thought of no mangoes me go weak in the knees. There's still some mangoes available for a few more days (weeks?). @Poonam - Where did you move? And yes, with a city as large as Delhi, long commutes are a part and parcel of life. @Shivya - Flee back! Me! I hope not ;) @QI bhai - Its good to be back. I have missed writing, but the new life is rather engrossing - too many things and too little time! Thanks for killing the effect though...3 state commute sounds so much more interesting than Noida-Gurgaon! @Sridhar - Welcome to Amreekandesi! And thanks for the wishes :) @Solilo - It's good to see you again! Dont worry, India is only rekindling old memories, not making me forget anything. @Dinesh-Thanks for the advice.
