Actually my wife probably knows, but she's not going to tell me until a week before we move. :) Why do you ask ? -Neo Hi,

Who knows? Actually my wife probably knows, but she’s not going to tell me until a week before we move. :)

Why do you ask ?

I think I actually saw a red glow in the sky last December. Was that you ? :) I'll try the oil thing. Actually it's not that bad in winter, but I don't like to write anything that will make my readers less scared of India. :) -Neo Hi Bea,

It never ceases to amaze me how we as Indians take such questions in stride! I don't remember where I read this, and have not tried them but - marigold plants around the house or marigold based oil when applied and yeast pills when ingested are said to keep away the bloodthirsty mosquitoes. Let me know if it works for you. Good to see you posting again.

Ask him if he remembered to turn in his LPG gas cylinder.:-) -Neo PS: Good to see you back too. :-) Gauri,

A friend had moved to India. Spent 3ish years and came back here. Now I'm beginning to believe it's because the guys didn't panic as soon as they landed. Heck, the least he could have done is panic because he wasn't panicking. Your fault, for writing this 3 years too late :P Good to see you back :) gauri Isn’t there any way you can retro-post these gems? A friend had moved to India. Spent 3ish years and came back here.

Perhaps even more if you worked for GOOG. Neighbours do have a nose for money. After all we are the only major religion in the world who worship Lakshmi - goddess of wealth. And in addition to Lakshmi you have the blessings of Saraswati too. Amazing blog - please keep on writing. Happiness lies within.
