The grass always appears green on the other side. <br /><br />Talking about the comparison, most often than not, people see things relatively. No comparisons is the best thing to do, but when people do compare and spk ill of one's own country, why not compare the positives of it too? Both have to be weighed equally instead of just cribbing about the negatives. This post's intention was just to let them know that one has to be proud of what they have and what is their role/responsibility which are indeed minor ones, to make it better!!Divya A Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17981331704793621467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1455941658416308741.post-63737504637812326252010-02-09T17:18:37.947+05:302010-02-09T17:18:37.947+05:30@Sreejith: "Globalization" is definitely...@Sreejith: "Globalization" is definitely the apt word I agree.. But then it doesn't mean you stop being patriotic. I was just trying to let people know that we Indians are really better off than the foreigners in many aspects. When someone outside India is ready to accept this, why not us???Divya A Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17981331704793621467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1455941658416308741.post-43316198848895407822010-02-07T10:39:32.753+05:302010-02-07T10:39:32.753+05:30I have been deferring writing a comment, on fear t...I have been deferring writing a comment, on fear that it would end up a full fledged blog post.<br /><br />One could 'externally' observe a small group of tigers in a zoo at their nap time and conclude that all tigers are always relaxed and happy. To know the true meaning of their life, one needs to live their life amongst them in their own jungle. <br /><br />We are good on our own, and there is no need to compare with the western world. That said, there are so many things that we could learn from them; we can choose to look beyond them and live happily in our microcosm, but it would be only foolish to do so. The key thing for us to learn is to respect people - most of our problems are related to the fact that the value we place on human life and dignity is abysmal.Sagarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15155726842337633724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1455941658416308741.post-23960105113618898982010-02-02T23:13:49.324+05:302010-02-02T23:13:49.324+05:30That's a lot of gyaan.. :)
