Relating to the Article
by ravi kaja on Aug 07, 2008 11:16 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

Reading the messages below, I am pretty sure, the article does not relate to everybody and people will just not be able to comprehend the identity issue.
I, for example, was born in a small town in Andhra pradesh. But I studied my first 4 years of schooling in Bangalore,the next 4 in Muscat, Oman, the next 4 in Hyderabad. 4 years of Engineering in Chennai. And am now currently studying Masters in a University in Minnesota, US. I have no Idea where I will be next.
And when people ask me where I am from, I grapple with the issue. Yet I know I am as Indian as anybody, only with different experiences, and different perspectives.

Prashant, it shows very well that your are definitely a India....we did not ask how much you make as that is no standard to measure how much Indian you are.
I won't publish my earnings but if you meant to say that by making 150k you have more experience, let me tell you that I have more than double the experience you have. I am in Logistics and also have family own Motels in US. I am also working with pure American owned company with less than 2% of employees from any other nationality but Americans.
Try to understand the article before writing and comment on it.
I believe you must be looking at a fool when you look into a mirror.

Brijesh every thing is fine but what the hell were you thinking when you wrote: "Prashant, it shows very well that your are definitely a India" : so for you being an indian is an abuse. I think its an abuse when lowly educated people migrate to other nations and drive taxis or work in roadside motels and one day buy these motels. These are the guys who are a joke on being an Indian. :) . I hope that you don't take it personally. Well I meant it to be personsal so I really dont give a damn :))

so where is this motel of yours.

Brijesh sahab i think you dont understand or dont try to understand the article. the article looks like being written by some one who wants to disassociate from the desi origins. I usually dont look into the mirror and find a fool and yes can easily identify one when i read articles published by so called world citizens. well 150k was a joke and i think you got something known as complex :). just kidding. lot of gujjus own motels after getting here illegally :) dont take it personally just kidding again
