(Dedicated to all my friends in INDIA with a VISA and waiting to travel to US)
Hey Dudes,
Let me tell you few things before letting you read through this.
First, what makes me eligible to write this? ‘Coz am in US for the past 6 months.
Next, Why do I write this? Cos I felt I have to say what I see here to those who haven’t seen it.
Last but not least, What is it all about? Is it something about N-deal??? Or, is it about First Black President of US??? Or is it about the economic crisis happening all around the world which started from US??? No… It’s not about any of these serious stuffs… It’s all about the differences between U.S and us (India) and some other things I’ve noticed in US which I feel worth mentioning.
The first different thing I experienced and noticed here is the relation between “Travel & Time”. On one fine day, May 25th 2008, Midnight 2.00 AM, I started my journey to the ‘Big Brother’ of the world – United States of America. After 26 hours of travel, I reached US on May 25th evening 7.00 PM. After traveling 26 hours, I reached US on the same day I left from India. Weird isn’t it? Anyway, I am happy that at least in this US is behind us. J
U.S. Promotes regional language. Yes, I have seen people talking in pure Tamil without mixing even a single English word here. Of course, they do it only when the intention is not to let people around them to understand what they are talking. Even a single English word will give them a clue so you can see pure language. Fun apart, US makes people realize the importance of their own regional language. If not, why a person who didn’t even bother to read Tamil books in India joins a “Tamil sangam” at New York or Texas or Chicago. Not just Tamil, I see every other regional languages of India getting value here.
Mother India and Uncle Sam(Personification of US, in case if you dont know who Sam is) are different in so many ways. Obviously they should be, being on the opposite sides of earth, how could they be same? In my upcoming posts, let me tell you few other differences I have seen here.
