Yesterday it was India's 57th birthday and today it's my 27th birthday! I would also like to wish Madonna a happy birthday too! I have no plans yet but I am sure I will find something to do to celebrate. Maybe I will treat myself to a 6 hour Ayurvedic spa & massage treatment. Sounds nice, heh?

I spent the last 10 months in Bangalore, India working for an multinational company. I just returned to Portland, OR, USA on a transfer. I miss India but I am excited to be home. Life's adventures does not stop here though. I plan to have many more geo experiences like India. Let's see where I will go next.....

Happy to see that there is someone who talks positive of India. I live in india too, Andhra pradesh.
Hi Cecilia:
Happy Birthday!
Came to you blog after reading ToI article. Teething problems aside, all you have to do is to just hang on a bit, and I am sure you'd really like Bangalore! I myself am not a Bangalorean but been here for last 6 years and I love this place. So much so that I have adopted a Texas bumper sticker for my liking towards Bangalore:" I was not born in Texas, but I came here as soon as I could." :)
Hope you'd find this city as likeable as people like me do!
Many happy returns of the day.
I had read about you in the TOI and read the whole blog y'day. Interesting to see how you are adjusting to your adopted country.
I am an Indian working in Dubai (UAE) and I miss home (Kerala) dearly. Why don't you catch a train to Kerala to get your Ayurvedic Massage? and if you are there in the last week of this month, you can participate in our "Onam" festival.
Regrards, Kishore J Sasi.
Happy B'day...Enjoy ur stay in Bangalore...lovelyplace and good people!
Happy Birthday :)
Good to see someone making a success of adjusting to India.
Just hang in there for a while, and I am sure it will work out.
All the Best!
Those are some lame-ass comments Pritish. Come on! Grow up. There are 50,000 foreigners working in India now. who cares!
As the world economy turns upside down we'll see India getting richer and the US poorer. More people will come to India for jobs.
Remember the stink they are making in the US about outsourcing. I hope we never make such a stink..let us teach US few things about free market economy and globalization.
Cece - Just wanted to wish you a HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Cant wait to come to India in Dec and check out Bangalore/Intel/and tear it up in GOA! :) Glad to hear you are kicking ass and making tons of freinds - so when do we get to see more pics?!?!
Take care, and again - happy bday.

Some Anonymous stated about economies turning upside-down, and India getting richer and US getting poorer....
Well your patriotism is appreciated, but its rues me to say that it has morphed all senses and organs, particularly the ones that matter, thereby obscuring the plain, simple facts.
What growth you see of India today, is the MAXIMUM possible. It can not get any better. An unbearable diversity cannot thrive together as one and moreso work together for a common goal.
Today China is easily 50 years ahead, pretty soon, it will a century ahead.
Excessive liberty, secularism, multi-ethnicity, population burst, illiteracy are apparently ailments of this country.
What is almost miraculous, is that it has survived so far in one piece.
Jeez you stupid other Indian males, give her a break. Don't froth like a beaver.
I appreciate all the "helpful" comments everyone has been posting here. BUT PLEASE DO NOT POST COMMENTS THAT ARE INSULTING OR HATEFUL. This is not an open forum for discussing political issues or insulting others. This blog is for my family and friends back in the US to keep in touch with my daily life here. I do not want to read about hurtful comments regardless of who it is directed to. So please refrain for posting any negative comments.
Happy Birthday Cecilia! Thanks for all your hard work on the product launch content :) You were a great asset on the Flex team and I'm glad to be working with you again in the SPD side - Mark
