If Indian weddings for Indian people are the furthest from “fun, ” trips to India for Indian people are the furthest from “vacation.” When I told my friends about the upcoming trip, everyone purred about what a great time I’d have, told me to take a lot of photos, told me to eat everything. But if you’re going to India to see your family, you’re not going to relax, you’re not going to have a nice time. No, you’re going so you can touch the very last of your bloodline, to say hello to the new ones and goodbye to the older ones, since who knows when you’ll visit again. You are working. . Scaachi Koul
About This Quote

When we go to a vacation spot we want to relax and have fun. Some people don't like going on vacation so they would rather stay home and work instead. I know some people who can't take a break from work so they go on vacation to get away from the stress at home. The writer of this quote is telling us that if we do go on vacation, to relax and have fun, but if we are going to see our relatives in India, we need to be working in order to see them.
