Its so easy for them to talk about...

I appreciate them,
but I laugh at them
They have a different culture all together!
The americans!

Its so easy for them to talk about their parents' divorce and mom's menopause,
about their bubble baths and step moms,
i Love them,
but I envy them,
cuz they are so carefree and do not worry!

They work hard and party harder!
And its so easy for them...

Its not in their culture

"Would you like to try some dandee noodles?"
"try some of my dinner!"

DO NOT expect to hear these words from your friends/room mates when you are studying abroad,
cuz its not not in their culture at all.
We, Indians are brought up in a different manner.Learning to share & care was a part of my convent school  academic training.I would be spanked hard by my sister (read nun) at school, if I dared, NOT to share my tiffin.SO much so that, we used to eat up all of Ishita's tiffin in college at times and her mom would get all our good wishes :D
Its irritating to hear a NO, everytime you offer your food/dinner to your friends,
like an insult or a rude remark, that you do not like my food!
But, like I said, the virtue of kindness must never be lost,
cuz deep down in my soul,
I am still a True Indian!

They are human after all !

''Did you walk her down home? ",  Mike asked Derek at the bus stop in the morning, after they had a blast partying the previous night with Sara. It struck my cords! of humanity and responsibility. I never expected Americans to be so thoughtful, assuming I was the only girl who would ask them to walk me down home at wee hrs.
