At the lunch table, as the conversation floated from chicken wings, casino, weather, education and in the end to India, I was amazed by a particular comment made by my american colleague. "Not long ago, we americans used to live in extended family just like you have in India. I miss that now!!!" Something has given away to independency. Older parents staying put. Grown ups moving out to stay alone. People living independently without or with a very limited reference. We see it in movies. Now I see it in real.
