Also white fungus treat is gone. Anyways who can beat KC Das and Ganguram in your part of the world. If you want to taste real good chinese dessert and sweets you may have to travel to Hong Kong, taipei, Singapore, Malaysia or China. So start making plans to see those parts of the world, I am sure you will like Singapore or Kuala Lumpur, with multi culture and food. Before forewarn sweets with sugar does not mean to be consumed by large quantity by human, i am not a doctor yet i know the fact. Start browsing eatingasia.com or chowhound.com for the very first step. Good Luck. Vivek,

Lets forget pointing fingers at each other. I treated my life in India in the early 60s and 70s as past and like clouds and what I have now is a peaceful way of life like in Daramsala (Markham Canada). Too quiet here and I love to get back into action like when I was a kid in Tangra. Peace : To all of you guys and gals. Amen. Good comments from all readers and writers.

If you are formerly holding Indian passports the govt of india will issue you a PIO card to some extent dual citizen, at least the govt is extending their arms to welcome you back, it learnt a lesson they cannot ignore NRI. Disclaimer : I do not work for Indian govt. Hopefully it has taken the right steps and as Jews said 'Never Again' to these kinds of harsh treatment to Chinese during those dark days of 62. Enough said it is time to heal the wounds, only thing is we can forgive and never forget. As india is not a perfect union, you like it or not is upto you.

Looking back Indian authority, did give us some chances of opening our own schools, giving chances to keep our religious worship places open. Of admitting ourselves in English Medium schools (of course to some extent), keep the Chinese newspapers office open (even there is an sign outside mentioning this property is enemy one). To some extend keep our businesses open. We have to be grateful in these regards. Look at Indonesia when communist witch hunt started, overseas Chinese were the victims, chinese surnames were no longer tolerated, if you are a Lee changed to Lehurto, chen to chenhurto some odds names. Jarkata still has the most funny Chinatown without Chinese signboards, no offense to Indians just like Mcdonalds in India do not sell beef. All my travel thru SE asia, I came to know locals in Malaysia still have lots of preference over local Chinese even they are 4 or 5th generation Chinese.
