You know you miss India when...
... The first question a friend asks is "How long?" (till you go to India.)

when you get back home from the airport, all jetlagged out, and ignore the pile of mail (and the taqueria), light a bidi and log onto IM!!!

When you go to the store and only buy a large package of samosas..... Upon returning home the samosas are heated and l eaten while reading messages on IndiaMike.
Don't Laugh... I did just this, night before last.  Wanderer22 |

...when watching Devdas, you tell your girlfriend (who is of Indian origin but has never visited India), that she is less "Indian" than you are. hahaha...

...when you configure the Google news tracker to send you a daily list of every news item in the world incorporating the word "India".
Just did this - must be time for de-tox.

And another ...
When you walk to the shop in your bare feet or chapals even though its Autumn/winter and thermals would be more apt and you look at pyjamas in Marks & Spencer thinking I could wear them to the pub |

PID = Post India Depression
That large void of emptiness in your heart when you come home. No big crowds, no honking horns, no cows, no rickshaws!! You try to fight it by immediately watching a hindi film, checking the latest news on India's cricket team and scrolling through member pics on India Mike while plotting your next visit! |

When you throw away garbage out of a running vehicle and wonder why you were fined.
Look for monkeys and beggars when visiting a church or temple. Wonder why there are no bollywood posters stuck on your compound wall. Post these comments even when you live in India/
