MerA BhArat MahAn - My India is Great
This picture was taken in the gift shop @Natural Stone Bridge and Caves, Adirondacks. Most of Adirondacks is untouched by any kind of civilsation. From what we experienced, it is a one on one date with Nature -not much tourists, not much commercialisation and it is soooo huge.
We were so pleasantly surprised to see a very popular and familiar brand of Agarbathi (Incense sticks) - Cycle brand Three in One Agarbathi - from back home, India in this gift shop. It is amazing how a product of India (which is somewhere near the equator in the East) is being sold in a gift shop in one of the northern most part of US (which is somewhere near the N.Pole in the West), practically in the middle of nowhere... It was like seeing someone from India :)

yes, especially in Boston there are not many desis as one would find in NY or California. So anything to do with India is exotic :)
