A cup of ...


'TEA' (The Hyderabad Expatriates Association).

Last night we found ourselves (more by accident) at a casual dinner hosted by TEA at the Walden Club (in Whisper Valley). TEA is a network of expats from around the world -- they meet every week and organize family friendly events, trips and members participate in local activity based clubs for biking, running, hiking etc. Members also have access to the library and facilities at the Indian School of Business (ISB).

India is not an easy country to settle into, esp. if one has had limited exposure to the East and I can see a support system like this being extremely helpful in shaping one's experiences in a foreign land.

Are you an expat in your country of origin? The answer is complicated and confusing but I for now I am happy to meet people from around the world.
