Awesome Brijesh,<br /><br />Few of our posts are very much in sync.The fact is everybody wants to live a life of their own but still fail to convince our folks or people around us that they have a better way of living :)

Hello Brijesh:<BR/><BR/> I think this is an awesome blog!! I totally agree with your veiws and opinions. I went to school in the US and was adopted by an Uncle who has lived in that country for 25 years. He completely changed my attitude towards life and taught me how to make my own decision and choices. I lived my life on my own terms, made my own decsions right or wrong, made my own choices

That is why it becomes a news. what about the other 99,999?<BR/><BR/>I know things are changing. When the present young generation becomes parents their outlook will surely be different. But as

Brijesh,Congrats.wish u will make a century soon with your varied strings of thought.According to Hindu philosophy this human body is given to us to be of use to the Society and for its betterment.May be this is behind the strife for achievements which u have stated from childhood to oldage.This has been given to us by our culture(samskaram).You are exposed to the US culture and may be you will

Praveen,<BR/><BR/>I am talking about situations where you cannot make your own decision. If you don't mind let me take your own example and explain what I meant. <BR/><BR/>Your dream from childhood is to become an actor/director. If you were in brought up in a system similar to that in US then after 10 grade you may be going to some school to complete a bachelors in movie or acting or something

To anonymous who replied to my comment,<BR/><BR/>I was just commenting on the one-sided nature of this blog or any other blog here....he takes of from one example and generalises it to the whole system. The one-sidedness of this blog is pretty obvious from the comments left by 'praveen' and 'ajith'. <BR/><BR/>Regarding my 'age old argument' ..the argument still holds and its true..so why should I

I think we should start living for ourselves after getting a job. Our financial freedom should help us to do that.<BR/><BR/>Brijesh,<BR/> Please carry on talking about bad things about India. Talking about good things is never going to help anyone.Dont play to the crowd!

When can I see a blog by you in which I can see something good about India? <BR/><BR/>Why don't you write a blog about all thes shooting incidents by school and college kids that happen here?<BR/><BR/>Why don't you write a blog about the lonely life lead by many americans, due to their so-called 'mind your business' culture? The only company that they can expect after a particular age is a pet

Are you talking about a place where kids are prone to take guns on their hands to shoot their schoolmates?!<BR/>Are you talking about a place where kids cant share their problems with their parents 'cause the parents might think that this guy is not capable enough to deal with his own life..and eventually that leads him/her to a level of frustration?!<BR/>Are you talking about a place where these
