Warm Greetings From London To Fellow Indians Around the World and Others.

I have lived in London from childhood to now. Been through the Education system and worked as a lifeless 'Vegetable' in a meaningles and back biting job.It always puzzled me why people at work fought about the smallest and irrelevant things in life and why they would immerse themselves in negative energy 24/7.

This is what I went through by living in London - Saw both my parents pass away in the cold, faced racism, faced ego issues from the remaining family members and friends, exposed to the rat race, saw good friends going through severe depression and now on Prozac, saw healthy people end up in hospital due to their lifestyles in the West. The list is endless....

I feel that I retained my identity thanks to our rich Hindu culture and watching Manoj Kumar films and other good quality Hindi films. It shaped my life and I was able to cope with all the strings and arrows of misfortune targeting me.

We have one shot at life! After watching the good old Bollywood films and a a relatively new film called Swades, as well as reading the novel by Robin Sharma 'The Monk Who Sold His Ferrai', I decided to move to Gujarat in India permanently this October.

I finally received my 'calling' under the Hindu laws of Karma. Thanks to God, my deceased Parents' blessings, I am able to live the 'high thinking, simple living' lifestyle. A place where I will not be discriminated against the colour of my skinr and where money will not be centre of the Universe.

A simple life, need a simple traditional wife, time for God and doing some charity work and a business to keep me busy. These are the things I pray for after living in the West for decades.

I obviously have to pay the bills and will need to set up a small business or work from home business to pay the bills.

So if you good people have any suggestions, please let me know of these small Business opportunties in India.

I shall keep you updated about my permanent move to Hindustan this year.

Warmest Regards

Ram
