It  requires new ways of thinking to survive here, in AMERICA.

            You work for five days a week. And all through the working days you look forward to the weekend .Weekend arrives ...Arrives somewhere late in the afternoon.Coz friday night stretches till early morning of saturday.One thing is proved -although total number of hours in a week are 7 >< 24  but all the days don't have equal number of hours.

           "Time doen't love being on the move ....just here" i ponder sometimes but then i realize that if you are on the move TIME just passes away.That's it.   Be on the move in the STATES.. never let yourself be idle here--you start getting sentimental,home-sick,longing for your friends and all that americans are not aware of. If you happen to be alone for some hours you feel like ending your life. freak out ..join others..go out swimming,play tennis,...go to discos,movies,,restaurants...anywhere but for your own sake...don't stay alone.Life is fun here....atleast you pretend that well...as long as you are young and your wallet permits.That's the reason why Thomas wilson loves being called,wears colourful clothes,goes out on date...well hates being realized he's 65.If you are not on the move ,better pack off. No place for you dear.

you start looking for a date even before you get the much awaited divorce.You start planning for weekends before they arrive.You insure things   before you buy. You start staying away from your parents before you leave high school. Go to a rehab centre .Pay  for silly advices you get.Live in with your girlfriend for years before you decide she's not the gal for you or the other way round....it's a murky world here.

                 Americans are tuned to perform. To succeed. You got to pay a price for being professional. You have to forget about Indian familial ways.Forget about attachment,sentiments...forget roots.A role that not every Indian can play.Americans have paid a price for being courageous, enterprising,optimistic. America is a superpower today.no doubt!!!!

But then I'd argue  there are hoardes of things bad about India. Yeah there are ! But i can't help being biased. I just can't  keep India out of my mind.

I am turning into a Trishanku(indian catch 22;-))      ...coz i am unable to decide where's heaven and where's hell   .    

      I am paying the price!!!!
