RE:points to ponder

Dear friend
I do not want to run away.
Now I am 52 year old, just 7 years of my career I worked for ONGC than vacated my Deputy Director Position for ( upper caste or Backward class >> what ever Govt wanted to give to)
Ever since I am not dependent on Govt Job , Nor I want to burden Govt of India. US is not waiting for me with open arms unless I again prove that I am top level oil field expert.
It is ever going struggle. I started from a very humble background. If I can do it others can also do it ( ST/SC/OBC & Upper class). My schooling was on floor. My fee was 35 paise per day in a Arya Samaj school in Delhi.
I was never a creamy layer even in upperclass where some of SC/ST/OBC may hate me.
Even If I finally leave India, it will be saddest day in my life. I believe 1984 ONGC SC/ST batch knows me, despite being so called UPPERCASTE, how helpfull I was in teaching whole batch for what is ENHANCED OIL RECOVERY in my LAB. Do what ever you want to do, it is vote bank politics. I believe India would have been much advanced if we were not divided by our learned politicians and I do not see any need of of it if we have enough of everything in education and industry, and not population.
In 1970 I was selected at IIT Delhi but could not get 150 RS per month as my fathers salary was less than 120 Rs per month. But still I am pretty OK now on an international scene when I talk to EXXON & SHELL experts at par and I am totally educated out of India.
