Introduction

    So I moved to Denmark in 2008, November. The same year, in January V was born in London. Little had I known then that my time in London would soon come to an end and I would move even north with two little children in tow. Even 12 years later, I still cannot seem to like the cold, dark and windy days of November in Scandinavia. Maybe it has something to do with the anxiety of Nov, 2008. We moved into a transit apartment in the heart of Frederiksberg.  

Coming from London to Copenhagen was not as big a shock as it would have been if I had directly flown in here. 

Well, Kingsbury, where we lived in London was more Indian then western in many respects. So the change from India was not as dramatic. Indian eateries were aplenty and vegetables, groceries and even sweets from the subcontinent were easy to find. 

This blog is a collection of snippets from my life in the last 12 years being an Indian in Denmark. The saga of trying to keep the desi genes satisfied while still living in a place with so little cultural similiarity to the subcontinent.
