counting down........

its only 10 more days before I'm off to chennai and coimbatore for vacation. its 3 yrs since I visted India, and I'm all excited and looking forward to this trip. got to catch up with a lot of people over there.
adding to the excitement are the marriages of a cousin, and a long-time friend, and ofcourse deepavali.
and I'm getting only 3 weeks for this vacation. there should be a new rule, wherein desis in US should be allowed a 'homeland visit vacation' for additional 4 weeks :) afterall we need the existing 2 weeks vacation to roam about the US .... don't we?
