Yes !! I am writing this piece whilst I am in the country I feel is the most adorable. Not because I am a Gujarati, or from childhood saw my near and dear ones coming and going to a wonderland called AMERIKA.
Its my second visit to this place and my first Independent one. It is an humbling experience and teaches you few too many lessons of life and morality.
The first thing to take notice is the plain courtesy and the warmth of the people. I realised saying Have a Good Day feels just so good even to strangers you might never encounter again. People smile at you irrespective of caste, color, race, age, sex, language as a goodwill gesture. Small things which are so absent in India as we are busy frowning.
The trust amongst people is just unbelievable. The last time when I visited this place, I was shocked not to be scanned and frisked at Malls, Public Places. When I enquired, the reason was Not all are terrorists or shoplifters.
I do not wish to mention the cleanliness and discipline because it has nothing to do with the country, but the people living in it. I fail to understand, the same fellow Indians I see not observing discipline in India, magically fall in line here. Maybe the fines imposed and the fear of deportation are way too dangerous not to fall in line.
I have toured quite extensively here, but I still am to tour quite a chunk. The uniformity of the quality of infrastructure and also meticulous planning of even small towns is very impressive. After even hearing for about two decades of this wonderland it is still as good as a Disneyland.
We definitely have to do the daily chores by yourself over and above the routine of earning but the quality of life here is far more a lucrative incentive rather than having few servants in India.
Humanity needs these kinds of setting to thrive so as to we don't turn into a simulation of the famous game Angry Birds !!
Off to some more sightseeing...See yaa later.. Adios !!
Cheers
