I have been in the US since 1990, did my MS, dabbled in research and decided to get back to India in 1994. After getting married, decided to go back to US in 1997 and relocated back to India in 2003. Currently I manage IT personnel for a client in the US in the financial world. I was the Founder of rec.music.indian.{classical,misc} in 1991. If you don't know what they mean, check on google. I ran the first gopher, Website etc. for Indian information. If you know someone who was on Internet/Usenet during the early 90s, chances are they will recognize my name! :) I had a chance this year to go to Australia & Thailand. From the travel that I have done over the years and noticing the trends in India and elsewhere, I am extremely disappointed in Indians paying for fashionable stuff (read: American) and not bothering about Quality. I buy quality stuff (electronics, toys etc. outside India and clothing etc. in India) from everywhere. If only Indians think about quality, we will have quality products being sold in India and not discarded stuff (from US) sold in India at MSRP. <i>Sharing Knowledge/Experience</i> Have been doing it since 1990. Look on google newsgroups for my name bet. <b>1990</b> and <b>1994</b>. It will give you a sense of Usenet (newsgroups) and even Internet history in early 80s. Ignore the postings from Jai Maharaj. :-) <i>Listening to Classical Music</i> <i>Internet/Web</i> - Too vague but my future reviews will give you an idea. <i>Cooking</i> - Was co-founder/moderator of rec.food.veg.cooking in 1994. <i>Travel</i> - With kids, it has been difficult the past 3-4 yrs. But was able to take off to Australia/Thailand this year. Probably will see a lot of India the next few years, Europe possibly in a couple of years and possibly a shopping trip to Thailand (in my opinion, a shopping mecca of the world) again a few years from now.
