AmreekanDesi

Folks, i am still in India and i am also still alive. So far i have not gotten into any road rage related incident, and neither have i got injured in a police lathi charge. Apologies for the long silence on this site.

A lot has been happening, and overall i am very happy to be back home. Being in India is a fun experience, but i have yet to get fully settled down, which is the reason for the lack of updates on amreekandesi.

I have a lot to share. My experiences, my impressions, my observations, my frustrations, little things that gladden the heart, the good, the bad, and the ugly.

I have sweated like a water tap. I have lost four pounds. I have cursed out loud at the ridiculously idiotic drivers on the roads. I have exhausted the quota of Safeda mangoes, and moved on to the Chausa. I bought a car. I had my dear home theater system’s power supply burn out due to a faulty transformer. I used to sleep less, but these days i am sleeping lesser. I have had occasion to call up 100 (police) for the first time in my life. I travel across three states to get to work, everyday. (See how dramatic i make it sound!)

I have been in India for a month now, and have yet to have a day of complete relaxation. But i am enjoying every moment, and now it feels like i have always been here.

There is so much going on, and i cant wait to write in more detail. Don’t give up on me yet.  I will have some longer (and less hastily written) posts soon.

It’s time to start a new chapter in life
So after all these years
Lets go to India, i said to the wife.

In America there’s many a whistle and bell
But something’s missing
I cant even curse in the language i know so well.

India is nice. India is great
To get to India, i can hardly wait.

You may have never seen such a player
But the wait’s over India
Amreekandesi 2.0 is here!

(more…)

So yeah…i have been thinking about doing this for a long time. About Time.

Diwali would be an auspicious enough occasion to get back to writing. So, Happy Diwali  dearest readers, and i am back.

Take care, enjoy good health, have a happy and satisfied life, and i will talk more about me in other posts following this.

Now that amreekandesi has a new address, it was just fitting that we had a new symbol. For those who noticed the new header image on the page, here’s more comments/thoughts about it.

About the Header

We would keep cycling the image to capture new ideas/events as and when they happen. As always, your feedback helps us make things better.

amreekandesi.com is up and running now. I am still trying to iron out some glitches. I was able to import my older posts from wordpress, but the youtube links are messed up; images are pointing to the wordpress links; having some issues with the new theme…

But this is so much fun. I am finally running my own website where i am the boss and can do whatever i want.

For the inquisitive, i signed up with bluehost which seems to be on top of most best web hosting providers’ lists. Their offer included a domain registration (yay!), and a bunch of other features. Hopefully they will live up to their impressive reputation, though sometimes my page takes a while to load.

Thanks lekhni for your helpful post. I used fantastico to install the wordpress software which i now use to manage the blog. Currently i am discovering the incredible array of plugins available out there to make it a better (blogging) world.

Once again, if you find something not working on the blog please dont mind. Even better, send me a note.
