Life of an expatriate

It’s been 18 years in KSA, but still always miss great India. After this long span of staying here in Saudi Arabia, I still feel very much out of place here sometime….sorry always. But when go back home, our own people treats us like outsiders (NRIs) which feels even worse. When the nostalgic feeling hitting on my mind, I used to visit sites where supposed to make friends online… Even through net, our fellow Indians keep us away. Other day, I was on a site which claims making friends online (usually using by Indians) and sent a message to a lady whose nick name was “Bedouin”. I was quite frustrated by not getting any attention from any of the online members over my chat request, also from this “Bedouin”. So, I sent a message to her like this…

 

“hi...really i don't know what is wrong with me....even a "bedouin" is not accepting my chat request....May be the married label of me is keeping you away”

The reply from her:   “oh its not u.........or ur marital status.. its ur location which did not get even the bedouin not to repsond...........but i did like the humor in ur buzz...anyway..u will have to excuse this Bedouin”

See…how bad is the life of an expatriate !!!
