I've always wanted to go back to India for good and I still do. There was one astronomical concern though. I was not concerned about the big bucks...not wholly.
How was I to survive in India leaving my American love back here?
My first acquaintance with her happened in Pittsburgh, more than a year after i moved to the United States. Was it love at first sight or smell or touch? I don't think I can solely attribute the reason for my love to one of the above...it was something else- something that I cherish till this date and will for years to come. She was blazing hot but was bitter about something(she still is sometimes, depending on my mood though). I tried my best to cheer her up and within seconds she showed me how sweet she can be. I learnt that she was born in Seattle and that she was nine years old when I was born. Well, to be honest, it did not matter to me.
Then what some people would think is magic and what I think was a matter-of-time happened. I met her in Cincinnati, right inside my university. I started meeting her frequently, but could not open up to her, for i hadn't started earning then. A man needs to have some money before he can love without any inhibitions, doesn't he? "cruel world", i used to think. The coffee shop had become our vantage meeting point.
My love for her reached it's peak after i moved to San Diego. As you must have guessed by now, she was here too, ready to give me company wherever i went. But India? I felt again that it was a matter-of-time, but how long will i be able to wait? "If your love is true", I told myself, "she will come to India". But somehow, there was not much optimism left in me, despite the fact that India is westernizing a lot and that she might not find it hard to feel at home and prosper there.
I was worried that I'd end up missing her badly in India.
Now, there's no concern. She has decided to come to India...she's even planning to go there before I do and wait for me to make my arrival special. i'll perhaps even get a chance to embrace and kiss her right at the Arignar Anna International Airport...
you won't be missed dear, for I'll come to you soon...

oh... u r addicted to Starbucks!
& like rajeev said in Sri's blog - "hoping that atleast someone would write their own story"
aana, idhu konjam over :P - "If your love is true...she will come to India"
Went to the last line directly. :P
Starbucks has been wanting to come to India for a long time, but nothing concrete seems to be happening.
ada paavi neeyuma ?
about your love going to India... glad-and-not-so-glad... any day, filer coffee is my first choice machi.. :)
neeyuma nu kettadhukku idhan reason - "http://musicpaithiyam.blogspot.com/2005/04/solemn-tribute-to-my-love.html"
I guessed it right in the midway :D!!
Ram,namma amma podara filter coffee vidava inda starbucks nanna irukku..?aduvum thanjavur filter coffee saapta naaku vere edukkavadu aasaai paduma enna!!
mystified..!!
dei, ethana per intha mathiri kelambi irukinga? one day u r going to write abt ur true love(?) and nobody's gonna believe :p
and was thinking why dont u write along the same lines about Aish? people like u make her sign up for 1 or 2 movies hoping she gets a hit someday ;)
Naren- hehe :D
K7- adapaavi :P - i hope they do soon!
Arun- cool post. I've noticed u mention Starbucks in a couple of other posts too :D - somehow to me, no filter coffee can match the white chocolate mocha man!
Sri- I expected people to guess it right in the first paragraph or when i mention "coffee shop" somewhere in the middle :D
MJ- i feel that white chocolate mocha is better than filter coffee :D
Siva- dei...true love paththi naan yen public-aa pesa poren? :P and Aish paththi enna solla vara? i don't get that part.
hey Ram - I wrote a tamizh post couple of days back and suddenly thought I will come and see if you have any new tamizh posts and then I saw this - guessed it right away from the tone - like you were gonna really talk about your true love so openly - that itself gave it away - I wanted to play that "Boink" music in cartoons like it just got boring (since it's not really about your true love which would have made for spicy reading! :) ). Voodoo story eppdi poindrukku?!
anu- hehe. the intention was not to make it sound like i was talking about my true love but to keep the audiences guessing on what i was actually talking about.
no more Voodoo stories happening!
:(
:P
hey real cool one ! though all the while I was kinda sure there would be a twist in the end but my guess was some car model (as you guys normally like to flaunt "her"), so the surprise was there, great job !
Vidya- thanks! :)
you must find some time to write too. "The Swindler" is still fresh in my memory! :)
Ram, not sure if they will have the White chocolate even if She comes to India.
Sri- they will. "Suvarillaamal Chiththiramaa?" ;) hehe
Naren and K7 have already commented on my behalf :P
