We went o UK in July – Aug for 2 weeks. I felt so much like home and Ajey’s first reaction was everything so small . That got me thinking how different generation we were.
I grew up in India with just enough for everybody and he is growing up in USA with in excess with everything. Everything is big, Big??? No Its huge. I have been here for 11+ years and somehow I got used to it but this trip to UK made me rethink where we are going. The slowing world economy might have made people realize ( I hope so) that we are on the wrong track. I am trying hard to change the way we live in our home. I don’t need that 3 rd TV anymore. I have enough jackets to last me for next 10 winters. Surprised to myself I just didn’t rush for school shopping. I opened my drawers first and when I went shopping I stuck to the list, nothing extra. I am not sure how long this will last but I am sure my wallet will be happy with my new habit.
Start from groceries to stuff in the house.. from books to music .. from clothes to shoes ( look who is talking) we have everything “too many” need to work on that and then will see if my son says the same things again in few years :)
