		<description>Narayanan sir,

1) Thanks. I dont know about others. Too many countries and the reasons for visits might be too many...So i thought better not to write.  

2) Naan sonnadhu vera. Anon has already decided that was a cheap comment so let me not make it cheaper by explaining abt it. 

Purila na adhu en thappu dhaan...i should've written it better..anyways freeya vittuten :)</description>

		<description>Mostly right...I have to agree.

1) What about friends from other countries?  

2) Anon - Do you think they feel 'the US Thimiru'...If so, they don't understand the mess US is in right now.  I know California is broke!!  No money.  Jobs are hard to find, if someone loses a job...god bless them !!  I feel the other way - about Thimir...People in India has more 'Thimir' !!  :)</description>

		<description>Then comes must-see relatives who will create a furore if they are missed. After all who wants ‘US la irukom -ngra thimiru’ tag?
^^^^^^^^^^

this is a cheap allegation to make. unless you are a mind reader. people in india too run away from boring relatives at times. not all relatives will attribute absence to thimiru.</description>

		<description>Hi Prabhu, 

I have been reading your blogposts for quite a while.  You rightly pointed out that heartfelt conversations happen over the phone than in person... It holds true not only for friends but also for very close family:-((( 

A typical India trip for a married-working-woman has to include additional variations within the three weeks - squeeze time to stay with both parents and inlaws... Quality time is never spent with any of these folks - it is just like being a guest in your own home...</description>
