See the other side

I am here to write my opinion about what Vivek wrote about!

It is almost the same way I used to think when I came to USoA. I do agree to many of them but now I think in a different way. All the way I have learnt to see the Good part of anything now. Well, Vivek you were saying why people come here leaving near and dear, I would say you should ask the same question to yourself. Lemme tell you why I am here, when I failed miserably in GATE and couldn't make it in IIT for Masters' I decided the same day that I should writing GRE (Thanks to Vishy for his timely advice!). So I am here not by choice by chance and as a last resort, but I am sure going back to India sooner/later.

You were also talking about many things being the other way round here. Guess what, did you ever think a boy/lad born and brought here visits Hyderbad for a vacation and he feels the same way you did, simply because he is so used to see the steering on left of car and driving on right of road all his life and now all of sudden he sees the things the other way. And what do you expect him to say "hell, World is the other way here!".[Also, did you know we are the minority when it comes to people who drive on to left of road]. So it is the matter of habit.

As you mentioned about the civic sense the people here, there are other good things about this country.

• People are indiviualistic here and we are social in India. Social life is good until it becomes too much that we want our privacy back. They love for being what they are. They are so independent in their thinking from their childhood, I like that. You have that independence that you could do what you like. The best part these are not hypocrites.
• I call these people are the best managers in the world, that they never manufacture anything and all they do market the stuff. And at this rate, I anticipate that there will be no manufacturing in this country soon.
• I love the way these people have love for technology and common sense, I see they use a lot of technology to make their lives easier or be it putting the trash can near the creamer/sugar table in starbucks coffee rather than placing it away [affordability and availability are the key!]
• I also like the way they make comfortable by standardizing the stuff around. I meant say that they have universalisation of many of the daily things we use, that is not there in our country. [I cant think of an example]
• availability of resources be it books/musical instruments or any kinds of hobbies. They have it all.

that's all I can think of now. Also leads me to ask you a question, why in general the youth in Hyderbad want to come here other than doing Masters' here.
