Forging ahead ....

I realize that anybody reading my ensuing posts is going to stereotype me as "one of those NRI's....Non Resident Indian that go back to India and bitterly complains about the weather, the traffic, the noise, the pollution, the lack of cell phone etiquette, . I also expect that they will point that i have lived less than a decade outside of India and that it is hypocritical to complain of any of the above, given that my years spent in India still outnumber those within.

To those readers i would like to assure them that i am still a resident in the eyes of the tax authorities in India, (In fact one of my experiences that i am going to write about has to do with trying to change that status). In addition, i would also like to point out that one of my endearing qualities that makes me so lovable is the ability to forget any wrongs that have been inflicted on me fairly quickly. A quality that is more a byproduct of poor memory that in it is a saintly temperament.

So, for future reference, if you do wish to censure me with reference to my India travelogue, please dont throw me under the NRI bus. Instead watch out carefully for the vehicle with the number plate that reads "Former Resident indian with a really poor memory" and then stick it to me.
