When it comes to celebrating Indian festivals, NRI are not behind. In fact, people residing off shores despite the hi-fi lifestyle still make it a point that they don't ignore the essence of Indian culture! Today being Sri Rama Navami, many NRIs are celebrating the festival with much pomp and geity. As soon as they wake up to hot sun, many people who usually take bed coffee refrain themselves from taking anything until they visit the nearby temples.

Andhra Wishesh enquired many NRIs and all of them had a similar thing. They said they might leave far off places but phir bhi dil hai Hindustani. One Varun who stays in Long Island of New York city has said that he will make it a point to drive to Chicago and seek blessings from the deity there. In fact, there are many temples in the US and people over there make it a point to offer prayers there and exchange greetings. Andhra Wishesh salutes all NRIs for spreading the essence of Indian culture in foreign countries!
