Ok, maybe I ...Stupido, <br /><br />You are here!! :-) Glad. <br /><br />Ok, maybe I cut short my post. I didnt say my friends died to prove all is not well there. That incident prompted me to write this post, thats that. <br /><br />In what circumstances they died, their parents condition are not all shared here. so please dont conclude. <br /><br />I think I have responded to your question few comments above. Who said people are not happy there? I am not talking about them sir. I am talking about those people who fake who unfortunately are majority. Sigh, what to do! Generalizations are based on majority right? <br /><br />Biased? Umm..this post is only about those who flaunt when things are not right.

But is it this overwhelming factor that makes one show-off what they ate for breakfast, lunch, dinner and what they wore for Memorial day? Some are truly happy and they keep it simple :) <br /><br />Thank you<br /><br /><b>Guria,</b><br /><br />Your response to my comment is not visible on the comment section for some reason.<br /><br />Anyway, I thought you are hurt because you said that people like you get hurt in your earlier comment. <br /><br />Its a practice that generalizations are made on the basis of majority. Same here - I am not including everyone here. I thought it was not necessary for me to mention that point explicitly. There are exceptions everywhere. Why I mentioned about my friends being in best universities? Because you mentioned you were studying in one of the best univs. I just wanted to let know that I know the feeling of what it is to study in top univs and working for top orgs. Its a great achievement I dont deny that. They understood that I was not taking a dig at everyone but at those who unfortunately form a majority. <br /><br />Just wanted to tell that generalizations made dont hold good for all :)<br /><br /><b>Ramya,</b><br /><br />:-) True lady<br /><br /><b>Renu,</b><br /><br />Yes, we may be mistaken for being jealous. But there are few who are genuinely happy. I do know few people. But I know lot more people who fake!

Even though its their space; you seem to have no respite.<br /><br /><b>Doc,</b><br /><br />Yes, they are excited when they leave for studies OUTSIDE india. Its not all roses. They know it and yet fool! 99% of them go not to study but they use it as a visa to enter foreign countries esp USA where you get to apply for work. Easier to get a H1B that way.<br /><br /><b>chitra,</b><br /><br />Yes, they are not happy there but they cant let the cat out of the bag and so they fake. <br /><br /><b>A,</b><br /><br />:-) The other side is NOT GREEN, yet people make a fool out of all<br /><br /><b>Enigma,</b><br /><br />Nah not really. Its funny to see all those facebook updates. All my friends did their Masters in US and are working there; except for me. But they are all grounded. I know a lot of people who are so simple. But there are vast amount of people who brag for nothing<br /><br /><b>Balan,</b><br /><br />Balan, you should get yourself a facebook account; you will know why I wrote this. There are people who by hook or by crook want to go to US. I am specifically mentioning US because they seemed to interested only in that country. <br /><br />If they show that same level of diligence and hard work here; they can sure taste success in their own country. But the problem is somehow somewhere someone has fed in the idea that achieving abroad is a massive success. Sad. <br /><br /><b>Guria,</b><br /><br />You are not on my friend list. I dont know why this post must hurt you if you arent one among them. All my friends did their Masters in the best universities around in the States. They are working in top organizations as well. Few of them mailed me and wondered what made me write this. they sure knew I was not taking a dig at them. Why are you taking it personal?<br /><br />So chill lady.<br /><br /><b>anil,</b><br /><br />:-) Yes!! been seeing all those updates. It irks me. You hit the nail! Yeah I think the same. If you can put in such effort and diligence elsewhere, why not here? Forget that, why fake? Why at all fake? <br /><br />Its written on your face the struggle you are going through and yet you show everything is blissful?<br /><br /><b>kavita,</b><br /><br />:-) I am not making it up, the breakfast thing has happened. Ohhwooo! Thats not done. People who marvel at Alaska have not seen the Himalayas :) Simple!<br /><br /><b>Neha,</b><br /><br />Thats ok Neha, you can make out the genuine ones. My point is, you crib while you are here, everything is crumbling here..a good titan raga is a crap here...But you go there, buy a Fossil lets say and you go ga-ga! I dont get that concept.<br /><br /><b>Bik,</b><br /><br />Hmmm....<br /><br /><b>Chowla sir,</b><br /><br />Its sad. But there is a reverse brain drain now.

You...Seems like a Post in disgust and exasperation!<br />You have the right to be and rightly so. But B the bottom line these elite “gold hunters” forget is the colour of their skin is brown. And they delude themselves that every other pale skinned has in him/her in varying degrees racist predilections and bias for all that is not pale – they call it White. No amount of wealth and suffixes from Harvard or ULCA will alter that.<br />I know a family from my neighbourhood since I was little, who is now migrated one after the other to the USA. They are there now for the past few decades. I happened to meet one of the members in the US. And I enquired when she would possibly be going back home to India, Kerala and into retirement. She contorted her facial muscles and said, “I could not even distantly think of stepping into that muck and garbage any more. I cannot understand how you folks step out there, how you live there amongst all that dirt”.<br />I sense,there is absolutely nothing jingoistic in being fascinated with ones country amidst all the contradictions and there is nothing unpatriotic in comments as from that lady. But it is the sense of being in your home, than be an expensive tenant or a wealthy paying guest elsewhere. Do such people have to travel across the seas to the US to discern the clean from the dirt?<br /><br />Yes , they fake, they are fake!anilkurup59https://www.blogger.com/profile/07961961217418715354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1050700084750309897.post-16531604528040461652011-05-22T01:38:21.800+05:302011-05-22T01:38:21.800+05:30You are not on my friend list on Facebook, are you...You are not on my friend list on Facebook, are you? :D<br />Yeah, I (after a friend of mine) did post some pix of cooked food, because I had never before in India.<br />Facebook really didn't exist the way it does now, in my college days in India but Orkut did. And with its few privacy protection we did post huge nos. of pictures from those days. And we have re-posted them again on Facebook long after the time's gone.<br />I don't know why watching the moon wasn't such a great deal at home, but may be you have missed that update. But I don't condone showing off the name of the place, like 'see, the thing I want to say is "I am here"' But yeah, stupid statuses do irk the hell outta you.<br />But trust me, getting a gizmo is a big deal, wherever you are. Don't take it as a big deal just because ppl are in some other country getting it. Buying a car also matters. Not because you can't do a damn thing w/o a car here but because it's your first.<br />I know I hate fake updates too, but one should also learn to sift through things.<br />As for what happened to the young guys. It's very very sad. And we carry an insurance that will ease the process (univ provided) as it had happened to a senior in our univ too.<br />Some people do want to come back, and some people don't but it's wrong to be so general and harsh. I make no secret I don't like where I am. I am counting the days, quite blatantly, when I am going to get back. But I came here for a reason, which is my priority right now. And it wasn't to say "Oh la la, I am in the US".<br />And I don't study in Standford and UCLA, but I <i>am</i> in one of the best universities in the world. ;)<br />My point: Don't take out your frustration of a few dumbos on the entire group. People like me get hurt. :PGuriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17745027299909279888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1050700084750309897.post-74261913831503010472011-05-21T23:22:59.822+05:302011-05-21T23:22:59.822+05:30Whew!

I don't have any personal experience, but my niece got married to someone in Silicon and divorced him within a year. She couldn't stand that nerd it seems. <br /><br />Recently in my bank we were giving 'education loans' for guys going to UK. Boys who can hardly spell their own names are going to study BA English in London! The agent later confided to me that those Universities do exist; in a garage or a backyard somewhere in England!Balachandran Vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10174364716507089780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1050700084750309897.post-26602746939368621192011-05-21T23:01:13.694+05:302011-05-21T23:01:13.694+05:30Hmm..
