The Home coming

A friend of mine is returning to India with his family after nearly 5 years in Singapore. I had initially thought he would be using public carriers to move his household items back to India and was a bit surprised when he informed that he was just relying on the 30 kgs per person allowance on the regular flights.

This is a real feat, considering the fact that we normally collect more than 30 kgs each time we visit India (and that is minimum once a year with atleast two visits from relatives and friends). I shudder to think the time when I would have to move back to India. I think we would end up leaving behind most of our stuff :))

sometime back, few of my friends moved things by container... hope u may end up like that... the only problem over there in India, is clearance of those containers without bribing.. if you have a person to clear it, then no issues.

For me that would take 5 years of planning :-)

Hi PVS,

Vow. This friend of yours seems to have truly adopted the term "Simple Living" in the widest of its definitions.

WISH YOU A VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR 2006.

Update: My friend has gone back to India, and true to his word, he didn't exceed his 30 kg limit!!

I need to get his help when we plan our return!!!

Me: Thanks for your wishes.
