We leave today for a much-awaited trip to India, this time after a long gap of 3 years. Last we went to India in the January of 2005 was on a short trip to attend a marriage so it really is more like going after 4 years.

It is also the first time for Akshra which is very exciting for the families back home but we are a little anxious about how she is going to cope with the jet lag, the weather and the different environment.
