Why do people have this weird tendency of going abroad for education. Those who go abroad, do they think that our country couldn't provide them with good education or its just a status symbol like having a "Bentley" or "Rolls Royce". It is a known fact that our education system is a little dull, but it doesn't mean that it is that bad. we have IITs, IIMs and other reputed universities. we should give more importance to researches and how we select our research heads. Does any one really give a thought that why there are not many Indians who contributed (of course there are some, only a handful) to the scientific world in our century. Now a days what we really do is praise those, who happened to be related to India, like his/her mother or father was Indian or something like that. In "Hindu" there was an article about "crab-syndrome", which was very insightful. We should be able to pull our good and promising minds to our country.
When I was a kid, April and May fell in the list of my favourite months. Not because it's going to rain and there would be mud all around, but those are the months my cousins would be here at our family house, in our hometown in Kerala. Those are the memories I would cherish forever. My grand-mother has 5 offsprings, 4 boys and a girl. My father is the second eldest of five. Then, he was the only one staying in Kerala and everyone else was in different parts of India, a Pan-India Family one could say. We were all present, it's like Parliament, shouting, laughing, scolding children, people everywhere, busy doing their chores. An outsider entering the home can still go unnoticed. Life was less complicated then. We were just ........just ourselves. Everyone you valued dearly is with you. It's like, the world has shrunken to a square block of bricks and mortar. Now it's all feel like a fairy-tale, one of the best things about joint-family. We are all tired of day's...
