Aamir Khan is just like most of us. He gets homesick very quickly when he travels out of our country. Stationed in the US for the last few days, Aamir had already begun feeling homesick.

Sharing his homesick woes in his blog, Aamir states, "I'm one of those people who gets homesick really fast, especially when I am traveling outside of India. Within a week I lose my humour, after two I start getting depressed and by the end of the third week I start weeping when I see soppy television ads."

Aamir is also a sucker for tele-shopping ads. He states, "I get so attracted to these ads on US TV selling the most unusual stuff on tele-shopping. It is amazing how I am such a sucker for all the most inane products which finally I'll probably never use.

Thankfully better sense prevails just before I place the order. Like this time I saw this ad for an amazing absorbing material.

It looks like a piece of cloth but is made of some magic material which just soaks up any liquid which may have spilled. Every time that ad came on I was riveted.

Took down the number to call and everything but I realised that my trip was too short for the order to reach me. Then there was this amazing pull-ups bar which fits on to any doorway and is great for a workout without going to a gym.

And then there was this ad for Timeless Romantic Tunes played on the piano by this pianist called Beegie Adair. It sounded so good, and its Kiran's birthday on the 7th so I thought it would make a great gift. But it would never have reached me on time. Well it's the thought that counts, so K should be happy."

Aamir is also happy about Obama being elected as the new US President. "My congratulations to the people of the US, this is their victory as much as Obama's. Well now his work really begins, time for him to fulfil all his promises." concludes Aamir.
