I am sure most of you have parents in india or some other part of the world. Being far away makes me feel that I am doing nothing for them. It gets me down sometimes.
What are some of the things that people do to be in touch with their parents and just tell them that u love them. It may be interesting to exchange ideas. I just thought sakhi's might like to talk about this.
also when do folks visit india- once a year, once in two years?

-- Make sure you send them money every year to keep them comfortable
-- Call them once a week
-- Ask them to visit you every year (it is better than u visiting) Good change for them and u

You may also think of filing their immigration case under family class so that they may join you in Canada.
Though my parents arent in India...they are in Manitoba, I can understand what you mean because I see them just once or maybe twice in the year.
I would say: lots of phone calls - video mails if they can receive them. The biggest thing is snail mail - pictures, letters etc.

By using your credit card, send them gifts via.
rediffmail shopping
MSN shopping (bazee.com).
There are foreign products available and so they would love it. The cost is also OK. i send them once in a while.
Another thing is to send money. if you donot have money , take from your line of credit and send it to them. the interest will not be that much. Also you can think of sending them money to buy a big house/land. They can use it while they are there and it will be a great investment for you (2 birds in one stone).
Talk to them positive things about canada (even though you are a labourer here). they will be happy thinking that their children are happy in canada (may not be true for all.
Donot scold them from here. they may feel depressed.
just my 2 sen. (malaysian money)
