A story circulating on the Internet reached my inbox recently. Written
by an anonymous Indian software engineer, it describes the high hopes
and dreams he had in immigrating to the United States. He lands a good
job, hurriedly returns to India to marry, jets back to the U.S. with
his bride and starts a family. He plans to go back home so his parents
can see their grandchildren, but one thing or another prevents that.
Finally word reaches him that his parents have passed on and only the
neighbors were there to take care of them.
