It's an absurd world out here...

I'm writing this post not to spit out my feelings but to show my angst against America..the USA. Its really a mad mad world out here. One question puzzled me all through my life till now..why people come here leaving all those close buddies, their families...I think I will never understand why??? Is it money, luxury or the freedom to be away..far away?? Well definitely travelling makes a person wise but that shouldn't be at the cost of one's motherland. Anyway thats what I think...but to say US is a big bundle of contradictions..the only thing which keeps it high is the wealth it has...the way people pay taxes here is highly commendable. And the road discipline..aah its wonderful. The first time I crossed a road in US was while I was returning home from college. I started crossing the road as I used to do in India..a car was coming towards me so I stopped for it to pass by, the driver too stopped. I didnt understand why he stopped so I went behind the car and crossed. All the while he was seeing me strangely, later I came to know that he stopped for me to cross. This is the amount of discipline they have on roads. If we Indians have such civic sense then I firmly believeour place would see a sea change. Now coming to the not-so-good things in US indeed mad things I came across here. Almost everything you find here is the complete opposite of what you find anywhere else on the planet earth. So here they are...

• The road rules are opposite..everyone knows..so cars with steerings on left!!
• English grammar is awful
• Spellings are different
• Door knobs..other way round
• Taps open other way round
• Nothing made in America but branded in America...and we buy cheap things at exhobitant price tags
• The way people hold a pen or a pencil is entirely different..funny if you people have observed. Donno what makes them hold it so awkwardly
• Switches are upside down
• Doors of refrigerators, ovens....everything is opposite
• They wage wars for peace..ha funny

Cant say more..list goes on..its endless. Donno why the people have such an attitude of making rules for themselves. Really its mad. But still people cling to this nation of contradictions like bees stuck to nectar. This is a land of contradictions. Better not get lost here. I dream of a day when all Indians living in America are back in India and put in their effort, then that will be a day when India will emerge a superpower. Any answers people reading this..comments are welcome.
