Smell of My Country!!!

Mere Desh Ki Khushboo...

I love my country and I often miss it. Thats why I make sure to go India every 4-5 months.. Its not that I am rich, its just that my company pays it :-)

This was in December 2006 and it had been 8 and a half months that I had not been to India. I was excited through out the journey, recollecting few Hindi Words which I will be using as soon as I reach India.."Sahi yaar" "Bindaas" "Mast" "Pakau" etc..etc..Thinking what I am gonna do, what all I am gonna eat!!

I was counting hours, minutes..and Finally I reached India, Landed Mumbai Airport. As soon as I came out of the flight..I felt the warmth of the air (In December) thats my country.

I took a deep breath, trying to smell that air, the smell of my country. That was the first thing I did to show my temptness to be in my country.

As I took another long deep breathe and looked around, a lady was smelling her 6 months old son, his diaper and his body and when ours eyes stuck at each other, she told me "Abhi to diaper change kiya, aapko smell aa rahi hai" (I had changed my baby's diaper now only)

I told her, "No, Its not that. I am just smelling India", before I could say anything she told " Yeah, its smells bad, soooo humid, and no AC's"

Before I could show my excitement, she made me say...
"Oh yeah..!!India mein Kitni Garmi hai." (<-I did not mean this, then why did I say?)
