I hate those questions and sometimes give answers in the same way you give. I once told my classmate that at one time people used through eggs at the elocutionist if the speech was not good.Since then she has asked me why do they throw eggs and whether it is our custom, sveral times. It gets me nuts that I wish fervently that I had some eggs to throw at her.Lizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07378463186096724421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10064462.post-1162022448913680772006-10-28T16:00:00.000+08:002006-10-28T16:00:00.000+08:00Y r u sad over people thinking negative about us?...Y r u sad over people thinking negative about us?<BR/>Are only people dying of hunger in India?<BR/>Give me a break.<BR/>The aftermath of Cyclone Katrina has shown us all how hollow claims of American prosperity are.<BR/>The focus on negative well we can't do much about.<BR/>Well talking of change, offcourse we can all contribute provided we r determined to stick to it.<BR/>The size of change is immaterial coz it just takes a pinch of salt to change history.Tarunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01497729257239840682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10064462.post-1161988879685025502006-10-28T06:41:00.000+08:002006-10-28T06:41:00.000+08:00I should have explained better - most of the US w...I should have explained better - most of the US will be ignorant about any country outside North America.

I always assumed the NorthEast and Silicon Valley to be different from the rest of the US when it came to global awareness. <BR/><BR/>Books like Friedman's The World is Flat are on the bestseller lists.

I don't even feel like reading the news these days. I start with hope, and give up. I am sure many people here in USA have negative opinions about India, which they keep to themselves. If the topic does come up, I just tell them the honest answer...whatever I know. And I also tell them how much I do love and miss India. Yeah, every country has good and bad stuff happening. Many Americans are NOT proud of so many things happening here. I am sure they wonder, what I, as an Indian/foreigner in their eyes, think about them....whether I am judging them. Haan, I feel change has to start at the individual level. We can all make our world better, if we each have the right thinking towards things. If we all have the same sense of what right and wrong is? Like forming a line is right, eve-teasing is wrong...etc. <BR/><BR/>Hey Sash, Happy Diwali!
