Yeah, 'cos you're an expert on living in India, I'm sure.

Well relationships are much different in India and Indian culture. We have no translation for the word cousin. My cousins are either my brothers or sisters. Same with my dad, his cousins are his brothers and sisters. It may seem like Im straying off topic but there is love within friends that you dont find here. 2 guys hugging here means they're gay, but there it could be a thanks (not for last night) or something along those lines. Even on the streets when shopping I remember the shopkeepers calling us brother and sister. There is no Sir, Mr. Mrs. in Hindi. THat's just what I can think of.

I think the proper term here is pwned.

Last I checked, visiting now and then != living.
If that wasn't true I could claim to be an expert on Germany or Denmark or whatever the fuck. Which I'm not.
And don't get me started on people living in one country most of their lives, especially when they are born there (not sure whether that part applies to you, don't care all that much), but claiming to be of another nationality.
Not saying you can't know anything about it, but you'll have an outsider's perspective, and that should be noted.

Nice failure, but.
