Kitney DVD Dekhoo!?

Last couple of weeks, I have been living solo, the life of a nomad in the smallest city of the United Kingdom which is about two hours from the capital London. Having experienced this insipid - I think is the right word, reminds me of a short conversation that I had with my classmate from Engineering days.

My friend who was in the same firm as me was returning home after completing his project as an onsite resource in the beautiful and adventurous Pacific island country in the southern hemisphere i.e., New Zealand. He had a great trip and built a long lasting relationship with the project team and client counterparts but still preferred to come back home. I wondered why he didn't try to stay longer and look for further opportunities. He narrated a conversation that he had with a fellow Indian who was returning back home for good from New Zealand after leaving his permanent job. That totally put me in a confused state of mind, why would someone leave a good job in a developed nation and come back? And the reply from that guy was "Akhir Kitney DVD dekhoo?" (How many DVDs can I watch?).

As you might have got the gist of the story by now, it does not matter how wonderful the place you are in, but if you are alone and cannot share the sorrows and happy moments that you experience with your own people like your family and friends. It is not worth the experience!
