An Indian Thanksgiving

Since coming to India, I've become overloaded with the numerous Indian festivals that are celebrated with unrelenting zeal. However, I have come to miss many of the American holidays that I have became so used to. Thanksgiving, of course, is one the bigger holidays that is not celebrated here in India, and pretty much the rest of the world for that matter. Still, being the Indian-American that I am, I had set out on a venture to find myself a nice Turkey dinner to have and enjoy for Thanksgiving day. It did not take me long to find a nice restaurant that low and behold, serves a nice turkey dinner during the holidays. I guess I was not alone on this quest. Having found my dinner, I quickly placed a take away order and then grabbed my dinner and headed home. Once home, I took out the wonderfully smelling turkey and set up my dinner. Being a huge NFL fan, I had downloaded the last Monday Night Football game onto my computer and had burnt it to a DVD. My dinner was now all set. As I ate my turkey dinner and watched the Titans win its way to victory, I felt very satisfied with my little Thanksgiving dinner......a half a world away!
