I agree with you on almost all points that you mentioned in the post; India definitely pampers its children (and their ego's too!)Vinayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02494866751412654864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21096538.post-4287067935995501802010-04-15T08:49:38.994+02:002010-04-15T08:49:38.994+02:00Good one, again from you shakri....my boss had liv...Good one, again from you shakri....my boss had lived in canada for 7 yrs and he was telling me how carpentry and gardening had kept him fit while he has lost his muscle mass back in India now.We tend to spend all the time spent in front of TV. On the brighter side, these provides employment to downtrodden people. For e.g.the maid at my house is able to afford convent english education for her son based on the work she is doing in a couple of homes<br /><br />Cheers,<br /><br />KrishnaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21096538.post-42277479050509211212010-04-04T17:48:42.967+02:002010-04-04T17:48:42.967+02:00@Sam

It appears that you have missed my p...@VividColors<br /><br />It appears that you have missed my point completely. I never implied that the cultural 'incentives', as it were, that India offers is a bad thing. In fact, it is one of the higlights of living in the country! What I was trying to point out was how such a life does not lend itself to being able to master 'self-help'. Had there been a course or a class for me in school about building furniture or making desks, I'd gladly accept places like IKEA. But since there isn't - not when I was around anyway - life here becomes, ironically, a tad hard. And yes - I agree with you that NRIs should certainly take what life overseas offers them. :) Been doing it for over a decade now so nothing new there.<br /><br />Thanks for the response here, friend!<br /><br />Cheers,<br /><br />SKShaKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08560466960703260887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21096538.post-68355446305116516522010-04-04T09:21:08.756+02:002010-04-04T09:21:08.756+02:00I am not sure I would call such culture pampering....I am not sure I would call such culture pampering. What is so wrong if India can afford to have helpers around? Labour is definitely cheap so why not use it? NRIS choose to go overseas so they have to accept life there with everything it offers. <br /><br />VCAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16645596648316480704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21096538.post-13327600796730818122010-04-01T21:03:57.787+02:002010-04-01T21:03:57.787+02:00@Anon - It sure is mate.
