trip back home

I'll be visiting India on 15th for 2 weeks and am not excited about it. Its been a long time since i visited back home and am dying to see my parents and sis again. But I would rather have them come here and spend time than me traveling back.
Journey back home is never easy, sitting on those squeeze seat for 19 to 22 hrs, getting through New Delhi custom and then dealing with taxiwallas; the awful infrastructure, bumpy rides, and traffic clogs are my biggest nightmares. Once home, the obligation to visit friends and those frequent power cuts makes life more miserable.
The 2 week so called "vacation" becomes an ordeal and more often than not i come back tired, exhausted and sick.
On a positive note, with my each visit, things are getting better, now that abrupt power supply is a power cut, there are some awesome shopping malls (i love to shop in india), and nicer places to visit. There's a change for good, ironically in spite of the country being on global map the change is so very slow that it wouldnt be kind of place i would like it to be at least in my lifetime.
