I have read some of your articles off and on. For the record, I grew up in India for 20 yrs, then lived in US for 20 years and now in India for last three. During my years in US, the cocktail chatter at Indian parties inevitably turned to the perpetually boring India-US discussion. I came back to give something back to the country of my birth - helped establish a business and created many jobs! I am clear that I did this for myself not for anyone else. Debating positives and negatives of US vs. India, while living there or here is pointless. It is what it is! On one hand India is simply too big for one person to make a difference, but on the other hand, it was one NRI, Gandhiji, who came back with a powerful idea and changed the world. Recognize what your goal in life is and fulfill it in your own way. Both US and India offer you the opportunity and the freedom to do what you want. I love both countries and their people. I am envious of your gift of generating prose to express your feelings but I have found your columns to be mostly about yourself. And that is disappointing.
