An NRI Experience when back home

This was my experience when i went back home after my stay in London.

My heart raced as I stepped into my flight(Kingfisher airlines), thinking iam going HOME my country. My ten hour journey was the longest. I never slept,never ate anything the thought of going home, was so high ,that nothing distracted me.when our flight landed, I stepped out and taking in everything i saw around.when i came out of the airport, the shock was immediate. the new airport in B'lore took me by sup rise, b'cos the first time when i went it was at marathahalli airport.As i drove through the city I hardly recognised the place, there was more crowd, more buses,more cars and more traffic everywhere.I was dumbstruck looking at the enormity of the situation and turned around to anthil,who was with me and he laughed looking at my baffled face.I could not assess anything.I want to hide myself as quickly as possible. i became claustrophobic all of a sudden. I kept telling myself that things would be better as the days go by. did it?No. I was in for more sup rises my friends, my relatives and those who were close to me came to see me and they started talking about what had happened in my absence, there i was not knowing what was happening. i was dumb struck ."have I come to a wrong place?" i asked myself but i was not .nothing made sense nothing really. now i can understand why Indians on coming back had a blank face .Here I was in the same situation. nothing really made sense to me.my yearning to come back slowing dropping like the dipping of mercury. I thought to myself, of how much things have changed over the years.everyone has moved on, but iam still with my memories of yesteryear's. My thoughts grew stronger as the days passed by and knew that my friends have moved on , my close kith and kin have moved on and so i have to move on. just like every other NRI gathered some mud to remind me of my motherland and took some pictures of my friends to remind myself that things have changed and moved to, towards the closing gates of the airport looking back and waving to my dear ones and my dear land and promising to visit again but deep down i knew i have lost them forever.
