And some more...

No one is perfect, no country is perfect, no system is perfect...

People who complain about parents in India pressurizing kids to learn this/learn that...
What about sending your own kids to "Kumon"??? Why isn't sending your kids to American schools not enough? Do the kids need something more? eh?
If not for the Asian kids, 90% of Kumon centers wouldn't have existed...
Why because we NRI's know the value of education and do not want our kids to be high school drop outs.... 

How many ABCDs excel in sports? eh? How many are members of American Olympic teams? eh?
But everyone knows ABCDs excel in chess, spelling competitions, science olympiads etc etc., Without the parents urging would these kids have excelled in these events? eh?
So stop complaining please...

At last year's Diwali celebrations at the temple I refused to burst crackers, and was just watching, when a friend asked me this "but it is our tradition,know?" 
how hard is it to realize that crackers emit smoke=pollution!!!  
I admit I used to do the same until a couple of years back when I realized its not so difficult to give up bursting crackers...seriously, how hard can it be? 

So, how much rights do we have to complain about the pollution in India?

I am fortunate because all my relatives who live here talk about the good times/fun/family/food whenever they are back from an India trip and do not crib about the pollution in India...

And for the people who sit here and complain about India & Indians, I would love to see their reaction when their children bring home white daamaad or bahu!!! 

more to come...I can go on and on, but will have to stop for now as I have work to do...

  1. My NRI friend said, "no , no we will prevent my daughter from marrying a gora" How?Chain her up? They want a part of India but want all the comforts of the US, c'mon people make up your mind! You can't have cake and candy you can have only one. To generate 20 comments-it took my blog 48 hours. I could have got the same amount in 10 hours if I had posted a chutney recipe :( C'mon people wake up, stand up for your nation.

  2. the problem is , most of the people with there eyes squinted towards the west ( is that genetic??) are in a confused state of mind ( do they have their own mind at all....forget it)some genetic aberration tells them that they are an inferior race..........and then they will do something like being in a hep place or wearing or driving something ......just to assure their poor soul that they now belong to the developed side of the world........

    most sad thing is they find their identity in a jeans, in a car or in this case in a country they ..s@f@@@@@ in.......never being able to look inside their own self.......apne garebaan me dekhne se darne lage hain log.........

    dear the few number of comments was again due to .....apne garebaan........
    also everybody wants to be in sober n politically correct.......hypocrisy is the order of the day....in my opinion a true friend is the one you can a have an argument, and still have the confidence to look into her eyes........why that confidence is shaky.........why we can't have a healthy discussion?
