You may consider me as your cousin (It may not be an appropriate forum to talk about personal relationships). Anyway, we have something in common, you went to India in 1996 when you were 12 and almost in the same year I was there too but I was 16 (I went there after SLC). I returned back to Nepal due to extremely hostile weather and hot and spicy food; did I.Sc from Nepal and again went back to India in 1997 and completed Medicine in the year 2002 and came to US to peruse MS program in the year 2003 and matriculated into the PhD program in Basic Medical Sciences last year. This may help you!! Make a guess!!!! Nut
