An Indian story...



Hello readers,


I was about to write on my visit to MIT but an issue I thought is more important then that.


Have you ever heard or saw an indian cursing other indian on being indian.. well I seen that here is the incident.


Last week me and my friends went to Burlington- Boston (MA)


There is a restaurant at the mall which is run and operated by indians me and my fellow colleague were just searching for the items that can be found in an indian restaurant which we thought will have some good food so we were just seeing the display from quite a far.



Now seeing us that owner of the restaurant(of course indian) muttered some thing to his indian servants and they were laughing seeing us. when we came closer to the restaurant; the boss and servant looked at us in an evil way and screamed at us.



Boss: hey you people don't you see a queue here?


Servant: This indians never understand a word call discipline.


Me: Excuse me gentleman we are already in a queue and I think you should mind your language


Boss: Hey just shut up ok, do not try to be smart, I know you people. you are coming here and grabbing Americans jobs.


Me: So do you. right ? you are not doing anything different from that


Now he was very angry on me and as we lost interest in having a food from there we just moved out and went to other restaurant.


Now whenever he sees me he tries to behave awkwardly, I feel pity on him.



Story 2:


I was in a subway train yesterday afternoon and an elderly american gentleman came and sat beside me and we had a very good conversation


Man: hey young man where are you from?


Me: India


Man: oh. nice country.


Me: yes


Man: what do you do?


Me: I am in to Softwares.


Man: Oh. I saw many indians coming to America for software work.


Me: oh. Yes


Man: So I think your country gives you good education which is compititive enough


Me: yes.


Man: good . all the best and enjoy here.


Me: Thank you.


Just see the difference between these two conversations, I really feel bad about that indian experience..

Rest going good.

loved the quote by 'adlai stevenson'
and it entirely depends on how a person thinks and his attitude...
while both of those mentioned guys were american, we can see how close minded the former is against the friendly attitude of the latter...
it just goes to show what a sad life the first guy is leading...
so dont let him affect you cos he isnt worth it :)

take care...
cheers!!

that sucks for being screamed at by a fellow indian, but everyone is different. maybe he was having a bad day.

I hope the very best for you in america. Hope you get accepted in MIT !
