Oxford of the East


The city of Pune was called the "Oxford of the East" by the late Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, due to its popularity with students from all over the world. Why am I talking about Pune ? Because we will be moving there soon. I have decided to accept a job offer from a US based company that has an office in Pune.


I am very excited to move to Pune, we will be close to Mumbai and to Singapore as well. But this is Anushka's blog, so I am going to write about what her thoughts might be on the subject. I wonder if Anushka will feel the difference, I'm sure she will think that we are on another trip and that soon she will be back in her own home, her play area in the loft, the bathtub, the backyard.. wonder if she will miss it ? She will see so many new faces, grand parents, great grand parents, uncles, aunts, cousins, oh she is going to get a lot of attention in the first few months. I wonder if she will be overwhelmed by all the activity around her and how much time will it take for her to get accustomed to it. Will she miss the big, bright and colorful aisles of the grocery stores here and wonder why vegetables are being delivered at the door now ?

Nice entry dada. I think its more of a 'Place Vs. People' change. In US she had more of her own space, and now she will have all these people she needs to share that space with. 'Sharing' and 'Adjusting' will be the key factors, no room for claustrophobias :) Also, I feel sometimes the parents spend more time adjusting and thinking about adjustment than the kids do.
