Welcome! We are very glad you decided to join us.  We hope your time with us will be enjoyable ….

 DesPardes. When we left our home and hearth and came to the West, most, if not all of us, suffered from a bit or more of a cultural shock.  But what about those of us who decided to go back? They have experienced and are experiencing a kind of a reverse cultural shock! This section is dedicated to all those Desis who have gone back and may wish to share their experiences — good or bad — from the society we once called, “home.”
