The U.S. is looking to India as more then just a marketplace for our defense products, but as a technology, aerospace and strategic partner for our future endeavors.

To other countries, I may go as a tourist, but to India, I come as a pilgrim.

It's hard to think of myself as an American, and yet I am not from India, a place where I was not born and where I have never lived.

What's the point of being an Australian guy traveling through India if you are going to go to India to meet other Australians?

Moving to India was challenging being a foreigner. I don't have any family here. I didn't have anyone to guide me. But I never felt for a second that I am not welcome here.

In spite of all temptations of belonging to many nations, I've remained an Indian.

As a child, I felt that the Indian part of me was unacknowledged, and therefore somehow negated, by my American environment and vice versa. Growing up, I was impatient with my parents for being so different, holding on to India the way they did, and always making me feel like I had to make a choice of which way I would go.

The only pool of young people lies in Saudi Arabia, some of the Middle-East countries, and few African countries. But they are not prepared as Indians are... we travel well; we are accepted globally very well, and that makes India truly a place to source world's workforce.
