First trip to India after an year in USA
Wowwww! I was so excited as this is was a long awaited thing for me to happen as i was going back to India ofcourse for a short visit .....standard time of 3 weeks but still i was going and that was more than sufficient for me .I remember i did lots of shopping for my family cos i wanted to buy something something for everybody and finally everything was packed and we were all set to go and we reached INDIA at about 5 in the morning , it felt so good to see our whole family waiting for us at the airport ......its impossible to put those feelings in words....but the real thrill started when we were going back home and that was the India traffic...that was the time i realised how different is India from America and how i had changed, i seemed to be completely forgotten about this chaotic traffic and could not believe for a moment that i use to drive on same roads and again the lanes were again different so it took around 1 week for me to come to senses or to recollect leftover memories ...the most satisfying part was whomever you see or meet is indian and nobody else and speak same language, looks familiar...ohh wat a relief.....i was dying for this feel at home kind of feeling ......although it was tough as went through stomach problems due to water change but that didn't stop me from having lucious indian spicy outside food...which i missed so desperately my first week was full of eating whatever was available on road and also the things that i never had when i was in India......

Experience taking a USA drivers license
Whooof!!!!!!!! it came as a shock to me when my husband bought a book for me as i was going to appear for my driving license written test .......trust me although not very tough but scarier than an IIT entrance exam as this time your license is at stake, as the passing percentage is 85% ohhhhh my god ....my first question after knowing the passing percentage was how many chances does one get...and thereafter completing 6 months getting drivers license became the most difficult and challenging task for me, which is a piece of cake in India i don't even remember giving a driving test for my license and had a permanent license and drove for 6 years...anyways i was lucky enough to clear it in my first chance and i was on cloud nine so finally i had my instruction permit (IP) with me, which means i could drive now but not alone and after 6 months i had my driving test .....which i decided to give after coming back from INDIA as my husband had promised me to take for my first trip to INDIA after an year.....as i knew things will be more complicated than i think in giving a real driving test.....so desperately needed a break ....
