Even though I was born there and i've been there multiple times, my homeland India is where I want to be right now. It is just soo cold here, I don't know how I landed up in a frickin' ice box here in midwest USA. The temps are frigid, -30 Fahrenheit wind chills for gods sake.
The air is dry and snow is piled up 6 inches on the ground ATM. You can't drive without a big, gas chugging Mini Van or SUV. Lips bleed and you get cuts on your hand from walking from your car to the school door/grocery store.
Water bottles in the garage freeze, you have to wear 2 sweaters in the house with the heat cranked up to like 80, and sleep with two very thick sheets and you are still cold. I'm not built for this weather, i'm from freakin' CHENNAI for gods sake! I'm used to 80s, 90s, 100s, Humidity high, and life without 5 layers of clothing on you.
I'm sick of getting up at unearthly times to watch cricket, sick of being tired all the time because of that + the cold+ the rubbish environment all around me. I'm tired of final exams and school, tired about stressing about over my future all the time, the atmosphere that's created here.
I'm sick of living in a small town of 50,000 people. Where there are only 4 Indian kids who all think they're white, who basically avoid anything got to do with their culture, a culture that I absolutely love. They laugh at cricket, speak in HEAVY american accents, are completely whitewashed. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE the US and all, i'm just missing my country and my people. I miss my grandparents, they're getting old and lonely and I feel so guilty leaving them alone in their old age.
Sorry for the moapy post, I just needed to get that off my chest.

I woudnt mind going to America, because it would be an experience. The place is a hole and I would rather sandpaper by balls than live there, but it would be interesting to experience the extremities of American culture. Also American chicks digs Aussies.
HAHA, despite the crap that I described above, America is awesome. Its given my everything i've needed for the last 10 years and I love it. The weather sucks and my city sucks. Its a fantastic country. Extremities of American Culture? since when do we have culture
. We just steal the best things from everyone else, double the size of our cheeseburgers, and drive on the right(
) side of the road.
