ISKON…..

People who belong to the ISKON believe that Krishna is everywhere…and I say so are his devotees…we first visited an ISKOn temple in Bangi..for the evening aarti..was pretty good..and as I always believe …the ISKON is rich…I don’t know where they get their funds from..but all I know is…they are real real rich…in all their celebrations..

 We again managed to get ourselves to go to an ISKON temple in the US…and this time..we actually join their bhagwat gita classes…why..well..don’t know why…but I know that living away from India..surely does get us to be more patriotic..and also god fearing…or for that matter everything that one wldn’t actually be in India…..but ofcourse..for the good….

 I don’t remember being to soo many temples…all my life..in India…as compared to the number I have visited over the past 6 months…I suppose living away from where we actually belong..and being in a group which is different from wat we are…we feel the need to associate with like minded people..and where better to find an Indian crowd..then at the temples…and the movies…the latter being tough for us…thanx to adi….we resort to the only other option left for us…the TEMPLEZZZZ…..

 I wont count myself as a complete believer in GOD..but I know that someone exists…who runs the world….whether he is the supreme power..or not…I dont know..

 Being in the US…has surely changed me in many ways…and the most imp of the changes is me missing India more than ever…I have grown up outside of India..and have been away from India practically all my life..then why now..is it I miss it the most..I suppose its in the atmosphere here … :P

 Well..here is another thing that puzzles me…abt the US…The theaters…they are soo clean..I sometimes wonder…why the same people(Indians ofcourse…) manage to keep them clean out here..and not in India….

 One other thing that gets us all hooked is being extra health conscious…I never heard anyone tell me or prove that Indians abroad have a shorter life span..or suffer from more illnesses than resident Indians….But then..I suppose its the fear of whether we will be fit and fine when we return to India..to enjoy all the “RICHESSSSS” that we have managed to earn living soo far away from India..and ofcourse all our families…

 Possibly the desire to be more Indian strikes us hard and good when we  are away from India…and in a way..this is good…coz then..i see the vision of  a Developed India…become a reality…coz its us Indians and their attitudes which will help achieve this…(Phew..!!  sounded like a speech…but then…ona lighter note… I miss chaatttt….:P slurp…God…this is wat hapens to me whenever I talk of life in India…  :P …)
