60 years on
`I have become a queer mixture of the East and the West. Out of place everywhere, at home nowhere. Perhaps my thoughts and approach to life are more akin to what is called Western than Eastern, but India clings to me, as she does to all her children, in innumerable ways.'
--Jawaharlal Nehru

Love how you have posted for Wed 15th on Mon 13th/Tue 14th - I just had to double check that today was indeed Tuesaday and I wasn't all screwed up....
I agree though now matter how long I have lived abroad I am always Indian.
Nehru sounds so firang! :)
And yes - I will always be Indian, for better or for worse. Brit passport or not.
That was perfect.
Ok, I did a double take as well when I saw the date on your post. How did you get it to let you do that?
Proud to be 60!
